General Dos and Donts in SeunusID

SAFETY WARNINGS
-If you experience chronic dissociation or are prone to it, please be very careful in trying to distinguish your subpersonalities on your own. It's important to consult with a qualified mental health professional first, as doing this alone could make dissociation more intense or overwhelming. Your safety and well-being matter.-in the rare instance that you experience complete memory gaps, timeloss, blackouts, greyouts, or amnesia between IDs. please consult a qualified mental health professional if you experience said symptoms.



DO NOT-do not continue with seunusID at all if you find it not helpful to your overall wellbeing.-do not over-identify with only one ID and act like one ID/subpersonality is the only real you and the rest of the subpersonalities don’t matter.-do not dodge accountability for you and your ID's actions.-do not completely seperate your IDs from your collective identity. Your IDs are your subpersonalities, they are still you to an extent.-do not think that SeunusID is synonymous or the same as DID, OSDD, Bipolar disorder, or Borderline Personality Disorder.-do not cycle or distinguish IDs for no clear reason, especially withouth understanding the emotional root behind each cycle or seperation or the very ID itself.-do not use SeunusID to invalidate-do not force the SeunusID label unto someone




DO
-do feel free to continue with seunusID as long as you maintain a sense of unity and awareness, or if you find seunusID a good tool for self-exploration, healing, and creativity-do stay mindful of when seunusID starts to feel like isolation or avoidance.-do take accountability for your ID's actions for they are still you, just in a different flavour.
