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:

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.

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:

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.

AOs can be anything, although people with OEFAD who have smaller AOs typically aren't as noticable as those with larger AOs, since they can hide their AOs better. people with OEFAD might see their AO as being sentient, or have attraction to their AO, but this isn't a requirement.

people with OEFAD typically become depressed if their AO is permanently gone until they find a new AO.

Oppositional Love Disorder (OpLD)

A MUD defined by involuntarily devloping strong feelings of love(not nessacarily romantic) in opposition to hatred or dislike.

For example, let's say somebody expresses hatred/dislike for a certian character, a person with OpLD will begin to love that character, even if they agree with the critcisms or previsously also hated the character. This change can happen insantly or slowly overtime. This applies to everything, not just characters, that was just the easiest example.

They may struggle to feel haterd at all or can only feel it for short periods of time as they develop love to oppose their own hatred.

This will often lead to the person devloping intrests that are considered strange, weird or taboo. It can lead the person feeling excluding for always having the unpopular opinion. It can also lead to an intrest in(or attraction to) "harmful" subjects or behaviors,tho they are not in anyway forced to act on it beyond fantasy.

This can sometimes lead to dangerous situations. For example someone who is truthfully called harmful, dangerous, bad and manipulitive but someone with OpLD hears this and involuntarily develops love for them in oppostion to this hate so befriends the dangerous indvidual.
