My writing slowly improves, I believe. I hope to be an even better writer tomorrow. Feel free to join my Discord.

Twilight Sparkle isn't very normal, but she already knows this. It's just one of those things she deals with on the day to day. Of course, comments from the peanut gallery don't really help, and neither do surprise parties. But thankfully her therapist is there to help her through her days and can help her thoughts get sorted out.

And the peanut gallery, too, of course. Sometimes they help, as annoying as they can be.

Therapy????

Huh.

We all know that Purple Smart is the Purple Smart. Like stupid smart.

And I also like to point out that exceptionally bright or straight up genius people have little things that hinder than greatly. Mental Illness is usually a target for them.

Here I can see Twilight have a little ponies to talk to about the over stimulus of thought she must have on a day by day basis. I mean we kind of saw that early in the season with her break downs under extreme stress right?

Really like this idea. Would love to see a little series of Twilight just going through the motions of getting better. Would be super fun to read.

As somepony who has begun to go through this exact thing, I just wanna thank you for writing this. Been having a certified moment and it’s hard to know if I’m going crazy or not ;-;

I feel called out :p

Allie:
Thanks for the story recommendation, Boopy! :rainbowkiss:

We're doing so much good for these foals. It's a team effort here.

Allie:
We definitely can't relate, and definitely haven't called ourselves a team in the past. /s

We’re going to be having a Nightmare Night party soon, and we hope to see you there!

Luna:
Using the correct pronoun at the correct time is certainly a difficult habit to begin. However, this is a correct use of plural pronouns, considering she is speaking on behalf of both herself and the school. Pronouns are complicated things sometimes.

let’s use singular pronouns, please?

Elijah:
Ironic.

I can’t control that I don’t have things to say at that time. When something comes up, it comes up.

Elijah:
Idon'thaveadhd Idon'thaveadhd Idon'thaveadhd....

Oh! We can even be therapy buddies!

Elijah:
Pinkie Pie, you're great, but I think "therapy buddies" is where I draw the line.

You don’t have to tell anypony ever if you don’t want to. It’ll be our little secret.

Elijah:
Sometimes, you think you'll carry a secret to your grave. Sometimes, life has a funny way of connecting you with people like yourself, and you end up finding support, acceptance, friendship, and self-discovery. This... this resonates with me, as someone who thought he was alone, as someone who thought no one would ever see the others living in my head with me.


Elijah:
I've definitely felt like this way too much with my stubborn, blind, but clinging-to-hope "I don't have adhd/autism" phase which lasted for years and years of my life.

Allie:
And we've felt it more recently in our "we aren't a system formed by trauma" phase...

Elijah:
It's hard to come to terms with something like that, or even to come to terms with someone in your life coming to or failing to come to terms with it. I feel like most people's gut reaction is a desire to be whole, and to deny that any form of weakness or brokenness exists.

Allie:
It's so incredibly difficult to see someone else going through something, and not knowing how to, or even if you should try to help them...

Elijah:
I guess we got lucky. We learned about identity disorder stuff like this, and we were identifying as one within 24 hrs of finding it. The accuracy with which the article described us... It was like there was someone--well... someone else in our head writing down a detailed description of us. The live we'd lived for the past 6 years written on the internet 4 years prior to us finding it... We thought we were all alone, and holy fuck Twilight's last line... Damn that hits home...
...
I dunno. Trying not to ramble, but I guess what we're trying to say is that this story makes us feel things. Not bad things, just... things.

DoD book horse? Interesting.

I like this! A version of Twilight with Dissociative Identity Disorder is interesting, and exploring her seems very cool. It also makes me curious: what if Twilight wasn’t in control? Would any of the other headmates be able to use the Element of Magic?

I can imagine they all could; the whole running theme of Friendship and Harmony in the show, while a bit simple for this subject, still feels like it fits nicely with a Twilight with DID that slowly learns to find a healthy balance and relationship between herself and all of her alters.

Read this out loud for the audiobook version, to come soon :)
