Daily reminder that you don’t owe anyone an explanation to your disorders or plurality! You don’t owe anyone your time for an argument about your own right to exist without being hated! You don’t owe anyone your headspace! You don’t owe anyone your social battery! You don’t owe anyone an explanation to why a label fits more than another! You don’t owe anyone your existence!

Remember to take care of yourself first. You can always advocate later.

within headspace - somehow went from exclaiming the name of a shapeshifting imp demon thing in surprise often - to now exclaiming the name of a cat in surprise often. all within the span of a week .

no further context will be given o7 (/lighthearted)

Headmates need some appreciation.

Thank your holders.

You go through a lot so the others can function, we're thankful for all that you do and hope you can recover and move on.

Thank your autopilots.

You take care of the body, help us to keep the necessities to love flowing through us, manage functions that may be too complex for others.

Thank your protectors.

You keep us safe, whatever the methods may be and i hope with your help we can find a space where you no longer need to be alert all the time.

here's some positivity for complex p-DID systems!

you don't have to switch often to be complex. you don't have to adhere to anyone else's ideas about splitting or fronting or presenting. your system is beautifully unique and what works to help you survive is more than enough. please celebrate being alive! it's an accomplishment in and of itself.

your parts/headmates don't have to front to be just as valid as any other system, and all of them are still wonderful regardless of how much executive control they usually assume. they are real and valuable.

complex p-DID systems are welcome and valid. you belong in the community and you deserve support, kindness, love, visibility, and care. your voice and your experience is important and valued here.

We wish there was more of a presence for Two-Spirit, Indigenous Systems/Plurals on this site but we fully understand why there isn't.

We're extremely fortunate that we've found a small community of Indigenous systems/plurals on discord.

For any Indigenous, Two-Spirit plurals/systems out there:

Your experiences are important.

Your culture is important.

Your voices deserve to be heard.

We cherish you.

Feel free to add more types of systems we need to uplift in the comments/reblogs! /nf

factives, you are not wrong for existing. i know it can be hard to accept that, but its true. your exietence doesnt make the world a worse place. it doesnt matter who your source is.

[duskandcloudy]

fictives, you deserve happiness, and to be true to yourself, whatever that means! theres a lot of preassure on fictives to be one way or another, to source separate or not, to do this and that, but... if you can safely be yourself, i think that path is worth considering.

Your trauma is valid if you can’t remember all of it.

Your brain protected you. That doesn’t make the pain less real.
