Dependent Stability Disorder (DSD)

DSD is characterized by an individual's intense need to constantly have someone around or be in a relationship to maintain emotional and behavioral stability. Those with DSD rely heavily on the presence of others to regulate their emotions and behavior. When they are alone or separated from others for too long, they begin to experience intense distress, leading to self-destructive or harmful actions towards themselves or others. The individual often cannot identify or articulate why they engage in these behaviors when questioned, as the actions are driven by an overwhelming sense of instability and desperation rather than any clear, conscious motivation.

Symptoms:

Intense Need for Companionship: The person feels an overwhelming need to always have someone around or be in a relationship to feel stable and secure. This need can lead to a pattern of constantly seeking out new relationships or friendships, often without regard to the suitability of the connection.
Self-Destructive Behavior When Alone: When left alone for too long, the individual begins to engage in self-destructive behaviors, such as self-harm, substance abuse, or reckless actions, as a way to cope with the intense distress and instability they feel in solitude.
Destructive Actions Towards Others: In some cases, the individual may direct their distress outward, engaging in harmful or aggressive behaviors towards others when they feel abandoned or isolated. This can include verbal outbursts, physical aggression, or manipulative behaviors.
Emotional Dysregulation: The person may experience severe mood swings and emotional instability when they are not in the presence of someone else, leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, or intense anger.
Difficulty Being Alone: The individual may avoid being alone at all costs, even resorting to unhealthy or toxic relationships just to have someone around. They may also struggle with intense feelings of loneliness and emptiness when alone.
Inability to Articulate Reasons for Behavior: When questioned about their self-destructive or harmful behaviors, the individual often cannot provide a clear reason or explanation, as the actions are driven by deep-seated emotional instability rather than any rational thought process.
Reliance on Others for Emotional Regulation: The person relies heavily on others to help regulate their emotions, often feeling more stable, calm, and in control when someone is physically present. This can lead to codependent behaviors and an unhealthy reliance on others.
Fear of Abandonment: The individual may have an intense fear of being abandoned or left alone, leading to clingy or possessive behaviors in relationships. They may also experience extreme anxiety or panic at the thought of being alone.
Guilt and Shame: After engaging in self-destructive or harmful behaviors, the person may experience intense feelings of guilt and shame, further compounding their emotional distress and reinforcing their need for constant companionship.

Color Theme:The color theme for DSD is a mix of dark blues and grays, symbolizing the deep emotional distress and instability the individual feels when alone. These colors are contrasted with soft, warm tones like peach and light pink, representing the comfort and stability they seek in the presence of others.

Visual Representation:A visual representation of DSD would feature a figure standing on a cracked, unstable surface, with dark, stormy clouds swirling around them. The figure appears distressed and fragmented, with pieces of them breaking away or crumbling when alone. However, when another figure stands beside them, the cracks begin to heal, and the stormy clouds lighten, symbolizing the stabilization of their emotional state in the presence of others. The background could shift from dark and chaotic to calm and serene, emphasizing the stark contrast in the individual’s mental state when they are alone versus when they are with someone.

Desire Paradox Syndrome (DPS)

A psychological disorder characterized by a complex and paradoxical relationship with love.

Symptoms:

Love-Related Horror and Confusion: Individuals with DPS experience an intense aversion and confusion towards the concept of love. They may find the idea of emotional attachment terrifying and struggle to understand their own emotions.
Depressive Episodes: When lacking love or in unsuccessful relationships, individuals with DPS are prone to experiencing severe depressive episodes. These episodes manifest as overwhelming sadness, feelings of worthlessness, social withdrawal, and a sense of despair.
Manic Episodes: On the other hand, when engaged in romantic relationships or experiencing intense affection, individuals with DPS enter manic episodes. These episodes are characterized by excessive euphoria, heightened energy levels, impulsive behavior, and distorted perceptions of reality. They may become excessively possessive, obsessive, or manic in their pursuit of love.
Feeling Unhuman: People with DPS frequently experience a persistent and distressing sense of feeling unhuman or disconnected from others. They struggle to relate to conventional emotions associated with love and relationships, often feeling alien or inadequate in their interactions.
Relationship Difficulties: DPS poses significant challenges in forming and maintaining healthy relationships. Individuals may struggle with intimacy, trust, and emotional reciprocity. Their internal conflicts and emotional volatility can make it challenging to meet their partners' needs and maintain stable relationships.
Disgust Towards Love: Individuals with DPS harbor a deep sense of disgust towards love, leading to strong aversions to romantic relationships. The idea of emotional attachment and dependence may evoke feelings of revulsion and repulsion.
Attention-Seeking and Risky Behavior: Individuals with DPS may engage in attention-seeking and risky behaviors to fulfill their desperate need for validation and love. They may resort to extreme actions, self-harm, or risky situations in an attempt to provoke a response from others.
Rapid Episode Switching: DPS causes exceptionally rapid transitions between depressive and manic episodes. Even a single word, action, or perceived rejection can trigger an immediate shift in their emotional state, swinging from despair to elevated excitement or vice versa.
Anger and Resentment when Ignored: Individuals with DPS can experience intense anger and resentment when they feel ignored or overlooked. They may interpret the lack of attention as a personal rejection, leading to feelings of betrayal.
Unrealistic Expectations: People with DPS often have unrealistic expectations of love and relationships. They yearn for an all-consuming, perfect love that matches their idealized fantasies. These unrealistic expectations can lead to constant dissatisfaction and difficulty in finding fulfillment in real relationships.
Self-Blame and Internalized Criticism: Individuals with DPS tend to internalize their struggles and blame themselves for their difficulties in love and relationships. They engage in ongoing self-critical dialogue, questioning their worthiness of love and feeling a sense of personal failure.
Sense of Desperation: They experience a desperate longing for connection, leading to impulsive and irrational behaviors in their pursuit of love. This sense of desperation intensifies their emotional suffering and can further hinder their ability to form healthy relationships.

This condition can lead to compulsive behaviors, delusional thoughts about living within the 3DS world, and identity confusion surrounding one’s self and the digital personas they create.
Symptoms:

Mii Identity Delusion: Believing oneself to be a Mii character and feeling a sense of dysphoria when not perceived or treated as one.
Tomodachi Life Obsession: Constantly thinking about Tomodachi Life and feeling distressed when unable to interact with the game, characters, or personal Mii.

Routine Rituals: Engaging in daily rituals that revolve around caring for the 3DS, updating Miis, and maintaining Tomodachi Life islands.

Compulsive Customization: Feeling compelled to constantly customize and perfect Mii characters, spending excessive time tweaking details and managing their virtual lives.

Color Theme: The color theme for 3DSAS is a combination of vibrant teal, neon pink, and soft gray.

Visual Representation: A visual representation of 3DSAS would feature a figure clutching a glowing 3DS. The figure’s body would appear to pixelate and blur at the edges, as if merging into the digital world.

The colors would be bright and eye-catching, contrasting with the figure’s vacant expression, emphasizing their deep entanglement with the 3DS world.

Family Isolation Disorder (FID)

FID is a condition characterized by an intense, singular focus on familial connections to the exclusion of all others. Individuals with FID are unable to form meaningful relationships outside of those they consider family, leading to severe social isolation. This disorder is marked by a deep dependence on family members, obsessive love towards them, and an inability to connect with or trust anyone outside of the familial unit. As a result, individuals with FID often experience significant distress when separated from family and display extreme apathy or hostility toward non-family members.

Symptoms:

Apathy, Hatred, and/or Fear Towards Non-Family Members: The individual feels a strong sense of indifference, animosity, or fear towards people who are not part of their family, making it difficult or impossible to form relationships outside the family unit.
Social Isolation: The person actively avoids interactions with non-family members, leading to a life that is heavily isolated from the broader social world.
Heavy Dependence on Family: The individual relies almost entirely on their family for emotional support, social interaction, and validation, unable to function or feel secure without their presence.
Obsessive Love Towards Family: There is an overwhelming and often unhealthy attachment to family members, with the individual prioritizing these relationships above all else.
Severe Distress When Separated from Family: The individual experiences intense anxiety, panic, or depression when separated from family members, even for short periods.
Instant Forgiveness of Family Transgressions: The person immediately forgives any wrongdoings by family members, no matter how severe, due to their obsessive love and dependency on the familial bond.
Inability to Trust Non-Family Members: The individual struggles to trust or feel safe with anyone outside of their family, often perceiving outsiders as a threat or burden.
Distorted Perception of Family: The person may idolize family members, viewing them as infallible, while demonizing non-family members or seeing them as inherently untrustworthy.
Neglect of Personal Needs: In extreme cases, the individual may neglect their own needs, desires, and personal growth to maintain their connection to family, sacrificing their own well-being for the sake of familial unity.

Color Theme: The color theme for FID is a blend of deep burgundy and muted gray, symbolizing the intense, sometimes suffocating nature of familial bonds alongside the isolation from the outside world. Soft, faded yellows represent the warmth and comfort found in family, contrasted with dark navy streaks to signify the distress and fear associated with separation from family or interaction with outsiders.

Visual Representation: A visual representation of FID would depict a figure standing alone within a tight, glowing circle that represents their family, while the outside world appears dark, cold, and uninviting. The figure’s arms reach out toward the family circle, with a look of desperation or intense focus on their face, while shadowy figures representing non-family members linger at the edges, unable to penetrate the circle. The stark contrast between the warm, enclosed family space and the cold, isolated outer world highlights the individual's intense attachment to their family and the isolation from everyone else.

Mood fluctuation tied to social events: Experiencing joy or discomfort in line with the seasonal environment during social gatherings, like feeling a strong connection in summer yet awkward in winter.
Obsessive planning in specific seasons: In seasons associated with high socialization, sufferers may obsessively plan events, while in others, they avoid any form of scheduling.
Emotional shifts in connection levels: Feeling deeply connected and empathetic with others during certain months but detached or disinterested during others.
Imbalanced interaction needs: Swinging from feeling overly needy and clingy for social attention in one season to feeling completely independent and uninterested in another.

Color Theme: The color theme for SIF is a blend of seasonally changing hues—bright pastels like mint green and coral pink representing the spring/summer social phases, transitioning to muted grays, burnt oranges, and deep blues for the quieter fall/winter periods.

Visual Representation: A visual representation of SIF would feature a figure surrounded by four distinct seasonal backdrops, with their posture and facial expressions changing to match each one: excited and engaging in spring, vibrant and lively in summer, introspective and hesitant in fall, and withdrawn or reclusive in winter. The transitions between these settings would be highlighted by blurred edges, representing the fluid shifts in interaction desires.
