I have a friend who I’ve been helping for a while with his mental health. He’s not diagnosed or anything but I’m pretty sure he has some kind of a personality disorder???? (I have no idea but it really does seem like it or something similar but I don’t want to diagnose him because that’s stupid) it seems like someone else has popped up, but they only pop up when everybody else is gone. They want to try help this new guy but I’m not sure how to help with communication and such if everybody has to be gone for them to appear… generally I just kind of want few tips or something? I don’t really have anywhere else to go and I’m the only person in his life who knows about this…

If you have any tips, doesn’t have to be this situation in particular I’d love help

#

Please ping with your responses

Maybe ask them how the personality is

#

I’d have some theories that are all very vague so a small description might help

last vapor
#

They used their birth name, I explained the situation (they believed this was probably some kind of weird hallucination) and they only said “come to think of it…I can only really remember when I talked to you last night and today”

steady bloomBOT
#

I’d need more like what they like, what they want to do and maybe how they feel

#

Also, do they have dc?

#

DC?

steady bloomBOT
#

Discord

#

Oh yeah

#

That’s how we were talking. Let me try to explain better, sorry. I was on call with one of them and they got stressed, but everyone else was already asleep, so then the new guy popped up. Then the next day one of them asked me to stay on call to see if I could talk to the new guy and find out if the new guy was like them

#

I’m sorry it’s late here so my brains kinda wonky

steady bloomBOT
#

Nah, it’s alr

#

Maybe I can get their dms so they can explain it themselves? (Without voice)

last vapor
#

Honestly, I don’t think they would do that. And I definitely don’t think they can now?

#

I don’t know what exactly is happening but they can’t remember much and thought they were 12 (they’re 15)

steady bloomBOT
#

Were they empty and maybe even ||traumatized||?

#

feeling like nothing makes you happy

#

There’s nothing that really fullfills you

last vapor
#

I’m not sure, one moment one was slightly worried about the new guy, said he needed to lie down and then they’d forgotten everything

last vapor
#

But I don’t actually know many details

steady bloomBOT
#

That sounds like us, but pretty normal

#

You need to lie down, you relax, you just feel weird and can’t think at all, then it feels like you just woke up after a nap, maybe very exhausted

last vapor
#

May I ask, how much do I tell them if they’ve forgotten stuff? I’m just unsure if me saying much will freak them out

steady bloomBOT
#

They probably won’t freak out, depends on the severity though

#

If they’d be down to give me their dm that’d be helpful for them, maybe you can ask them later

last vapor
#

I don’t think so

steady bloomBOT
#

Why not?

last vapor
#

I’m the only person in his life who knows anything and I’m not sure if he’d be okay talking to others, I mostly just don’t know what to do and kinda need help.

#

I’m sorry, I’m just kinda worried about what to do.

steady bloomBOT
#

No no I get it it’s hard

#

I think in general things usually get better with time

last vapor
#

Yeah, I suppose it’s just hard to deal with this myself when I don’t know all that much.

steady bloomBOT
#

And I don’t really know how to help when I don’t know how they are feeling

#

Also, maybe give them validation for being a system

#

Point changes you notice out to them

last vapor
#

Okay

#

Thank you for helping

#

I think the thing that makes this a bit harder to help with is the fact he only started trying to organise everything after I pointed out some stuff, before everyone was just doing (what they call) “silent switches” and kinda spent ages shutting down the idea of there being others, so when memory problems happen I’m not sure how much to say.

#

This has been a thing going on for months, we’re pretty sure because I’m Australian and he’s American I just saw more of his vulnerable side because he’d stay up late to chat

last vapor
#

Again, sorry if this is all a jumbled mess, it’s late here.

steady bloomBOT
#

Again, maybe they’d be down to give us dms? Ofc they don’t get forced to, just a recommendation!

last vapor
#

I don’t think they ever would

steady bloomBOT
#

It’s just kinda hard to help a system if they don’t talk to us yknow

last vapor
#

Yeah
