#( & ) system

[wiltedsystem]

i literally went into repression multiple times because of accusations of faking it over the years when the reality is ive shown signs of did since i was literally like, 4 and they never went away. i experience things on the regular that the dsm doesnt talk about at all and there is currently no scientific explanation for. my dad straight up told me doctors thought i might have it as early as 8, but they werent allowed to diagnose me with it because i was so young.

i still remember when i finally found who i thought was a cool streamer with did who banned me for saying my system is a mixture of traumagenic and endogenic experiences, that really upset me a lot

i remember when i was about 15 or 16 i was yelled at by ex friends for "faking my disability" when there is literally no reason to want to fake it, i just went into repression at the time and this was used as evidence...

look. ive been a system since day 1. it started when some days, at 3 or 4, i would be a boy and have memory issues from times when i was a girl. it just evolved from there into something much more complex as i grew and learned more about identity and whatnot

now theres a swirling mass of uncertainty, especially as my personal experience with system-focused communities was extremely cruel towards me just because i didnt fit a picture perfect medical definition of the disorder.

i wasnt comfortable identifying as dsm-5 definitions of systemhood... when even if i had no trauma (lol! i have a large abundance of that!), ive clearly been wired this way since the day i was born...

to immediately accuse someone of faking an experience just because it doesnt line up with your perceived notion of it is not only cruel, it will harm research on systemhood in the long run.

My political interests as someone with OSDD are probably more alligned with some random person faking DID than anyone who hunts for the secret fake evil systems. And the social benefits of faking DID are roughly 0 so I don't even believe in the faker at this point. They're probably have it for real by the time you sickos are done ruining their life over nothing

Btw if you're plural in any way, and you're upset about being compared to CDD systems, your distress is just as valid as a CDD system being compared to yall.

Yall are allowed to be upset about being compared to us. Not wanting to be shoved in the same category as us isn't ableist like some people say it is, your experiences are different than ours and you have every right to be upset about being treated like you're the same as us constantly.

These comparisons hurt both sides, we're different and should be treated as such. Both CDD systems and plurals are reasonably upset by this, and we don't need to "just get over it"

I love you, system hosts.

I love you, current hosts. Being a constant fronter can be exhausting. Remember to eat and drink some water 🫶

I love you, co-hosts. You are so much more important than you give yourselves credit for.

I love you, hosts with multiple roles. I know how tiring it is to do so much for the system. It's hard to hold so much. You're doing wonderfully, even on the days it doesn't feel that's the case.

I love you, ex-hosts. I hope you can finally get that much-needed rest.

I love you, systems without hosts—both those who are functionally so, and those who are not. You aren't broken for not having a certain "type" of alter.

I love you all. Please remember to take care of yourselves.

Feel free to add on to this post 💛

[stupi-did]

We still don't have a written diagnosis because when we brought up to our ex psychiatrist the idea of us possibly having DID he said he didn't believe it and we instead had "different separate states of self divided by amnesia"

How is that any different from DID

Bro is literally describing DID LMAO

[strxwberrywrites]

I feel like my therapist will never understand the fact I cannot let go of my dissociation. She gives me methods to calm down, such as the TIPP scale. Nervous System work outs. Exercises for small to large muscle groups. But those do not work. My body begins to dissociate before I can even recognize something is upsetting me. It's as if you're speaking in a normal conversation, and someone comes up from behind you and covers your mouth, eyes, ears. And the person you are speaking with asks, "What's going on? Why can't you speak? Stop ignoring me, you look stupid. You're rude. You're retarded. (i can reclaim this.)" They clearly cannot see the obvious issue, which is the fact my own body and mind is cutting me off simply to stop feeling whatever discomfort might come my way. "We can't have that here."

I just genuinely feel like, if you are not suffering from DID, you do not know what it's like, and your tips and tricks will not fucking work.

They. Will. Not. Fucking. Work.

Those tips and tricks are for singlets. They don't have multiple identities within their mindscape working against them. They don't have the dissociative disorders. They do not. So it works for THEM.

Yes, your friend will "change" if they come out as a system to you. They seem like they're changing because they're trying to unmask around you and let their alters be themselves and not hide amnesia and other aspects of the disorder as much.

I understand it can be hard to realize your friend isn't exactly how you thought they were, but they're still you're friend. It's likely you've met their other alters, they just didn't say who they were.

Please support you friend, even if it's seemed like they've changed.

[starstruck-sillies]

Considering you're "monoconscious," you shouldn't be using the term alter either because it means "alternate state of consciousness" which you've admitted you don't have

? That's not how this works bucko

Just because we have one consciousness throughout the system doesn't mean it's never altered. It literally just means that front is our only conscious, and guess what? That consciousness can be and is altered depending on the fronter. I think you've severely misunderstood what monoconscious is.

I mean, come on. We have different thought processes depending on who's fronting at the time, and those thought processes affect everyone in the system. If the fronter's judgement is impaired, so is everyone else's. Our gender, our personality, how we respond to things, likes, dislikes, all of it changes depending on who's fronting. That is quite literally altered consciousness, so idk what the fuck you want from us lmao.

(Edit; forgot to mention that's not even what alter means. It's "altered state of identity", not consciousness. But hey, even if it meant what you said, we'd still fit it just fine)

[lyter-system]

That’s convenient .

[interstellarsystem]

Nonhuman expressions of affection are great. Purring. Exposing weak points as a show of trust. Head bonks. Preening and chewing. Nuzzling. Biting. Intertwining tails. Feeding each other. Little chuffs, chatters, beeps and squeaks. Fluffing up of feathers, fur or other things. Dancing to impress. Cleaning their fur, scales, feathers or skin. Sharing body heat. Ears pointing toward those you care about to show your full attention is on them. Slow blinking.
