Cha Cha Cha Changes and Celebrations
We reached 250 site members while I wasn’t looking. We have regular bloggers, an active Discord and things are steadily growing at a healthy pace. Not too fast, not too slow. Life in the .cafe is good, let’s celebrate! Some pruning was needed, however. The forums and social groups never
Do We Have A Disorder?
I have half an hour before I’m scheduled to play Magic The Gathering with friends online, so here goes a quick shot blog entry… I’ve been wondering if we have or will ever reach a point when we don’t have a disorder. Per the DSM-5-TR, one of the diagnostic criteria
I was doing it all wrong (pt.1?)
The past year or more has been spent in a huge effort of deconstructing a whole load of things I had been told/consumed from the general public on how you are ‘supposed’ to approach DID/OSDD. I followed these guides, I did the things I was told to do. Over time

Derealization and Dissociation
We’ve been learning just how bad our derealization and dissociation really are recently. Nothing really feels real. We know it’s real, but is it really real? Stuff is real, mostly, while we’re touching or interacting with it (including people), but then immediately stops being real once we stop interacting, or
Tired
I don’t know why, but waking up today and getting ready for work is a LOT harder to do than most days. Even on the days where we don’t want to go and are in literal tears over the matter, we tend to be able to feel awake enough. Maybe
