2. Pepsi box blue or cheetos bag orange?

This’ll be a bit of a complex answer, but—

That depends on my mood, because (synesthesia) cheetos bag orange is a loud colour but can be satisfying, & pepsi box blue is quieter and soothing but can fade into the background (too quiet). It also depends on if the colour is faded, because silvery-faded cheetos bag orange feels like heavy raindrops where it kinda hurts when it hits you but it’s just water droplets so it doesn’t hurt a lot, & cardboard-faded pepsi box blue feels like a pirate ship at dusk. If it’s faded, pepsi box blue is better. If not faded, depends 🤷‍♂️.

Generally speaking, I find it a lot more offensive when like TV shows and movies have a shitty representation of dissociative disorders, but there's like two versions of that. There's stuff where a character has like ""alters"" or something that could in theory be comparable to an actual disorder, but in the story is explained as some fantasy concept. There's also when there is a really shitty depiction of DID and they mix the poor depiction with fantasy (sometimes) AND they fucking call it DID or an outdated term like MPD.

So recently I wound up in the hospital for a few late night hours.

They did an IV, gave me potassium, and checked just about everything. I was physically fine.

How and why did I get there?

I was sitting in bed, watching my SO and our dog nod off. I had taken my evening meds and smoked a little weed to help me fall asleep (cause that can take like 2 hours ugh).

Not too long after the last bong hit I start feeling WEIRD. I can't hold my head up, I don't feel like I'm operating my limbs but they're moving. I can SEE everything in the room, the walls themselves, swaying. Each to a different beat.

Now I'm an experienced smoker, so I know it wasn't that and the weed was safe stuff.

I find myself in the bathroom. Vomiting. Sweating. My head hurt worse than any migraine I've ever had.

I still have little to no control over my body. When I start to try focusing on what is happening and sort out why, I hear laughter. Horrid mocking laughter.

It took a little while, a pissed off girlfriend (she thought I was having a *bad trip*) and some nurses who clearly had suspicions themselves, for it all to fade away.

One of the alts I don't communicate with, and almost never talk about, had been fighting for control. I knew it the whole time and not only could I not ever tell anybody (especially hospital staff) but I barely kept present myself. And it KNEW it. And it mocked me for days.

Gf is still kinda mad about it, understandable. I could never possibly explain. It sounds like a bad movie pitch ffs. But it happened. And I know it. And honestly, I'm scared. Scared of what it wants, of how much control it has despite not being a cooperating part of our system.

Just had to get it out. Or else I'd convince myself it was my imagination and never happened at all.

Anyway normalize stutters, stilted speech, flat affect, monotone speech, volume control issues, nonverbal communication devices, voice modulators, speech impediments, lisps, oral deformities.

Normalize "abnormal" speech patterns. Normalize lack of eye contact, normalize ticking, normalize emphasis on different syllables. Normalize "Inappropriate" emoting, especially when it's a stress response.

Normalize verbally processing thoughts, external system communication, non- aggressive interaction with hallucinations or delusions.

Normalize Echolalia, "TV Talking", vocal stimming, parroting, "Baby talk" as a way to self soothe.

I swear, when my headmates start getting annoying, I feel like a mother yelling at misbehaving children in the back of the car. Like "Don't make me come back there."

Even funnier since I'm front stuck, so it's more like "I swear, I'll find a way back there. I'll do it."

And they agree that if I did manage to fully switch out of front, it would be to scold one of them for being stupid.

Bonus:

When planning to make this post, I was hit with the thought of "what if people read this and think I'm abusive to my alters?" And started mini panicking about "What if I am actually abusive to them? Only to realize I'm basically a chihuahua to them. And then I got told that they view me the same as the system littles. Which I responded to with "excuse me? I'm 15- no wait. I'm 17- still no. I'm 19. There we go! I'm 19, thank you very much.

And doesn't that just sum things up?

Imposter Syndrom

A comic about fictives who feel the same as their source, yet not similar enough to it at the same time

Of course, many fictives may not see themselves as their source at all, and that's okay! This post is just about those of us who do see ourselves as our source, but also struggle to cope with the differences we have from our source selves Many times fictives lack the physical, mental, and other skills that their source may have had. Perhaps as a fictive you don't identify with the same gender, sex, or sexual orientation as your source. Hell, maybe you just even like a different flavor of cupcake to them. Whatever the case may be, this post is a reminder that you don't have to try to be exactly like your source. You're free to be your own individual person; no one will see you as less. And if they do? Then that's their own problem. You're not just based off a fictional character, you're an actual person with your own set of traits and capabilities. Don't look down on them because they may not be exactly the same as you hoped. Enjoy what makes you unique

"Your trauma made you stronger"

all my trauma did was give me voices in my head, and a ton of identity issues but-

okay.

This wasn't meant to be edgy or anything, I just wasn't sure how else to draw it

Often in our system we experience masking as our host a lot, even me, who IS one of our hosts. I still find myself masking as our other one

A lot of systems deal with it and I just wanted to draw it

Low-key I feel like the did communities obsession with alters as like the primary symptom of the DID instead of amnesia and dissociative episodesis is bad for actually healing

James barely exists when its too cold outside or too much like winter, and lately, he has been fronting for some reason. I guess its already March now, and not early February. So that's something that I just realized. Anyway, James is mad about barely fronting for like a year when he thinks he's supposed to be the "host" or whatever. Like, man, you barely even exist. Literally a placeholder to pretend to be ok for a few years that stopped working. Idek. He's annoying.
