I know I'm far from the only person saying this, but I saw an interaction on social media this morning that makes me want to remind everyone:
- You don't need a diagnosis to be plural. You don't need to qualify for a diagnosis to be plural.
- You can just be plural, for any reason you please or no reason at all. It's usually for trauma reasons, but it doesn't have to be.
- Having a highly stigmatized diagnosis like DID on your records actually tends to be a bad thing when it comes to insurance, jobs, government assistance, psych incarceration…
So yeah! Diagnosis ain't what it's cracked up to be, and plurality is a wide and wonderful spectrum of experiences that a diagnosis can't pretend to encompass all of. The psych system is fucked up; don't worship at its altar of diagnosis!
