Can i ask what an osdd 1b system is? And does that mean youre a system as in a DID system? /genq
OSDD-1b also known as other specified dissociative disorder is basically DID with less full black out amnesia.
Most people with OSDD-1b still have mental greyouts, emotional amnesia, and selective amnesia- but not full blackouts most the time
Technically we are officially placeholder diagnosed with UDD (which means “unspecified dissociative disorder” which is an emergency diagnosis- it can mean different things for everyone but for us it means our psychiatrist is figuring out which type of system we are because we do blur the lines of DID and OSDD-1b and my amnesia has to be fully evaluated and recorded to determine that)
but some of us just personally prefer the label OSDD-1b? For them It feels safer not acknowledging how extreme our amnesia is- but I don’t really relate to it personally so I might just change our descriptions to say “system” instead because we do experience blackouts- and from the medical professionals I’ve talked to they lean heavier on us having DID instead of OSDD.

But yes we are a system because we experienced a verity of extreme traumas as a child before our ego states could fully integrate. DID and OSDD form the same way through childhood trauma. important to note that it’s important to look at the other variants of DID (poly fragmented, HC-DID, P-DID) just as it’s important to look at OSDD/1a/1b
but yes systems within secondary or tertiary dissociation have many ways to present.
(I’m trying to discourage myself from writing paragraphs on DID because FUCK it’s my hyperfixation)
