Well, I don't have DID, but from what I understand, alters are just people? They might hold some traumatic memories and experiences, but they're not like...serial killers. I recommend looking up stuff written by people with DID if you're curious.

I've been on a deep dive about Mormonism, so I'm gonna say Joseph Smith. Yknow, earlier than he was actually killed.

On the one hand, 150 years puts us at 1876, so closer to living memory than you might think. On the other hand, a fair number of people aren't even doing that cursory level of math.

Basically everything and anything to do with mental health/psychology. People with Dissociative Identity Disorder (or "Multiple Personality Disorder" as it used to be known) do not have "evil" alters. DID is also not the same thing as schizophrenia. OCD is often not focused on hygiene or cleanliness. Antidepressants aren't "happy pills," and while emotional blunting is a possible side effect (not the entire point of taking the medication!), it's often a sign that you're on the wrong dose or the wrong medication. People don't typically self-harm because they're suicidal. Eating disorders don't always have a focus on body image and anyone of any body size can be affected. There's no singular mental illness that causes people to be abusive or violent, and mentally ill people are more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators. Etcetera.

That's weird, when I type it, it says "hunter2"

I'm a native English speaker with auditory processing problems. I have occasionally mistaken spoken German for "English that my brain didn't want to cooperate with."

I've got an old Dell Inspiron N5010 with similar specs. Palemoon and Seamonkey both work decently, and both of them have adblock extensions available. I also agree with the recommendation to change OS if that's a possibility, though I would NOT recommend Linux Lite; I have never found it to be very fast. I'd recommend MX Linux or antiX.

Part of the problem is that the "Just Use BSD" Guys are to the FOSS-sphere what the "Just Use Linux" Guys are to the rest of the world.

From the article linked above:

Concerned sperm donors should note that these cases are probably considered outside the norm.

In the cases cited, the sperm donor was also involved in the children's lives. So it's technically possible but very unlikely.

If you've got any Benadryl/diphenhydramine in your medicine cabinet, it has some anti-anxiety properties. Not really something you can take for too long, for obvious reasons, but it can help in a pinch.

First of all, I agree with the other commenters about getting assessed for a learning disability and/or ADHD. Your post is more coherent and well-written than a lot of stuff by people with degrees, and you were able to do the math to figure out if you were going to pass. If you aren't doing well in school, then it seems like there's something else going on there.

Second, you might want to check if there's a career center or something near you. If it turns out you do have a disability and you live in the US, there's a program called Vocational Rehabilitation (voc rehab for short) that can help with career assessments and such. If you're not US-based, other countries might have similar stuff; try searching for voc rehab or occupational therapy.

Third...you school only gives you seven hours to register for classes? That seems insane to me. Is that standard anywhere? Maybe your schools just suck, lol.

People keep bringing up autism as an explanation, and as someone who is on the spectrum, has a sibling on the spectrum, and has at least one or two other relatives on the spectrum as well...I don't buy it. There's Something Else Wrong with that dude. I don't know if I believe in demonic possession, but Zuck is more or less what I imagine it would look like.
