Danny (host) speaking here. Could any systems with psychotic symptoms help us out? Questioning everything and it's a mess.

Tw: long post, system questioning, doubts, venting, hallucination and delusion discussion, bc of that possibly an unreality warning?

Man, the awful thing about having auditory hallucinations is that now I am questioning everything I believe about myself to see if it could be a delusion.

And well, the first thing to question is the stereotypical "talking to the voices in your head!". Could I be really talking to myself and not another headmate? Daena says I'm stupid and she is very much real but I don't know what to think anymore

Our syscovery was years before the start of these recent symptoms so, maybe that is proof enough that we are truly a system, or maybe it is proof that I have actually been psychotic (as in. Having psychosis symptoms) for years and need to tell my therapist about my 'system' to try and get help for my delusion.

I don't even want it to be a delusion, I like the company of Daena, they are very nice to me in their own way, even if a bit rough around the edges. Maybe they did start out as an antagonist but she has proven very useful in taking care of ourself, they have talked me out of stupid things and been there to comfort me when nobody was available...

I don't know if I should try and ignore her and make her go away. If we are a system, it will be very asshole-ey of me to do and will set back a lot of progress we have made, but if I am not a system and I am truly just stuck in a long term delusion, then I should really try to get out of it, I think...

So what should I do? Should I hide my system from my therapist and psychiatrist, or maybe only from the psychiatrist? Should I be honest and open about it finally? I don't even know If I want to break the delusion.... do you always have to break them? Is it unhealthy to want them?

I sometimes just imagine the first time Phantom is introduced to the league as like, a fellow big league hero. As someone who works with Justice League Dark and took down the Ecto Acts with his own team and allies to be included under the meta acts like aliens. He knows Constantine and Zatanna and is a pretty common name in the magical community now even if usually as his human form "just Danny".

And suddenly he is surrounded by these "big time heroes" and aliens and champions and most would assume he'd be overwhelmed or in awe. Maybe nervous, or weirdly fixated on being in space.

But here's the kicker- Danny is dead. Technically part of the category ecto-entity, ghost, and thus belonging to the Infinite Realms. He has met a vast variety of characters who are far more chaotic and legendary than these people who have so much interpersonal drama it looks like one of the soap operas Tucker refuses to admit he watches. Wonder Woman? Danny has lunch with Pandora and visits the Greek sections of the realms when he needs to research old prophecies. Superman? Kryptonite is like rock candy and the dead of Krypton are either very sweet or very condescending and Danny has seen both in the Boy Scout. The less said about the Green Lanterns the better. The Flash family are entertaining but also headache inducing because Danny has heard the complaints about the timeline. Half a dozen other heroes and vigilantes have their own dramas that Danny could pick apart at the source for the many issues that started said drama, and that's not even beginning on the issues with Batman and the weird galley of children he has who are sometimes even worse than the dark knight himself.

Meanwhile the League find themselves growing more concerned and horrified the more Phantom manages to reference his adventures and rather stressful start as a vigilante. Constantine hasn't been more entertained in years.

PLS I NEED SOMETHING WITH ALASTOR AND TEASING HIM FOR THAT HAIRCUT HE HAS PLEASE PLEASE

🍹Drunk Danny Asks🍹

(I will probably turn this into something more serious, teehee) This may not be serious and a little ooc, lmaooOO

❤️❤️❤️

Alastor was staring down at you with blackened eyes as you scratched at his undercut, the bristles of his short hair feeling nice under your nails. You sigh, twirling a finger around a strand of longer hair that dangled by his cheek. Alastor had allowed you to touch him, but had not expected you to mess with his hair.

You practically giggle, cocking an eyebrow upwards," I gotta ask... the hair. Did you pick this? Did Rosie cut it for you? Did you cut it yourself?" You quipped, Alastor's hand snatching your wrists and holding them hostage.

"I think you know that most every sinner here is cursed with an appearance they may not enjoy... mine included." You blink up at him, a little deflated.

"Soooo... it wasn't by choice? Kitchen scissors and a bowl weren't involved?" You cackled as Alastor palmed your face like a basketball, trying to push you and your grabby hands away.

"Darling, while I tolerate and sometimes adore you, you are testing my ever-loving patience today."

You grinned under his hand, licking a wet stripe across his palm. Alastor instantly recoiled, wiping his hand on his coat. The shit eating grin on your face made his strain, his right eye twitching.

"You are vile," Alastor hisses, squinting at you as several pitch tentacles manifest behind him.

You stick your tongue out at him, pointing at him in an animated way. He realized you were imitating finger guns, your shitty grin never wavering," And you have a fuckass bob!"

Alastor relished the way you squealed as you ran away, tailing closely behind you as you bolted for the hotel elevator.

(Danny, as almost always, speaking)

Venty ramble-ish post of the day under the cut as promised in the update (ended up a long post, sorry)

If anyone wants a quick summary, there is a tldr bolded and green at the bottom! Would love some advice if anyone is nice enough to share their experiences and stuff.

Tw: General negative thinking, obsessive/repetitive thinking, ocd-like tendencies, lots of self-doubt, system doubt/self denial, brief neglect(? Descriptions, brief abuse mention (tell us if we missed something else)

I've been thinking of System Origins (xyz-genic) lately. Something about messy thoughts and obsessive patterns and stuff, our psychiatrist calls it "cow chewing" or something like that (since January, our memory has been shit, sorry).

So. I'm afraid to label us as traumagenic because like, as I mentioned in the notes of a reblog this week, we never went through traditional abuse, we had food and education and shelter and all that good stuff.

Maybe mom was down in the dumps herself, and dad was always away on a buissness trip, not to mention mom having to deal with three kids at the same time... so we never really got enough love and attention. We were loved ofc, and I am grateful for all mom did for us.

But like... her best wasn't enough in many ways, that's why we're in therapy since like 11 and always go off the deep end whenever we try to go long periods without a session (monthly sessions seems to be the stretch/limit). And well, we have more diagnoses than fingers in one hand already, wonderful! So funny! Amazing! /sarcasm

So, anyways, back to the topic. We never really lacked anything, were never abused, and the emotional neglect wasn't thaaat bad and totally not on propose. So... was it enough to form a traumagenic CDD system? Are we really disordered?

I do have emotional amnesia in the rare times we've managed to get someone else to be the main fronter, and we do have some ptsd symptoms but like... we do have a separate ptsd diagnosis bc of my ex-bf (another story/post, bad bad guy) and the childhood ptsd-like symptoms are nowhere in the same level as when we first got the diagnosis of the other ptsd.

And looking at posible diagnosis, Partial DID (pdid) is so so so close to what we experience! That's like, us! Main frontstuck host with other headmates acting as 'advisors' and less fronting and more passive influence and co-conciousness (even if we are monoconcious, it's a bit weird, don't wanna think too hard about it)

But like... I didn't start having "multiple people in my head" until like I was 14. Or atleast being conscious of it I guess. That's way past the age threshold for identity consolidation and thus traumagenic system formation...

So are we "disordered enough" to qualify as a disordered/CDD system? Would we make a mockery of "real" disordered systems to self-diagnose that?

I've been thinking of sharing with our current psychologist. The last one dismissed my concerns and said I was being a hypochondriac (god, it's always that excuse! Even with our physical health, which, yes, another post/story).

I'm scared of being wrong. What if I really am just talking to myself and making a sorta tulpamancy thing on accident? Ofc nothing wrong with that, but it would change our system dynamics a lot.

On the flipside, if we really are a traumagenic system... now what? I doubt there are any specialized psychologists for systems in our town... so yeah. Not sure what we would do after a hypothetical informal/formal diagnosis by our psychologist and/or psychiatrist.

Gosh. This is... a lot. And I tried to be brief. Sorry, and if anyone did read it all, thank you so much for caring about us! (Or being curious I guess lol). I'd love some advice

So, tldr: No abuse, only some emotional neglect on accident. Is it trauma enough for traumagenic? We disordered enough for a diagnosis? What if yes? What if not?

-----------------------

Bonus info for anyone(s) who want to give us advice (thank you!!!!)

System of 3

One front-stuck host and two "advisors"

Daena is a sorta reformed persecutor and sorta trauma holder?

Aelius is our protector (he is taking a long nap/trip somewhere in the brain, miss him)

Danny (me) and Daena are two sides of the same coin, share a lot of traits and stuff even if personality is different, basically like a median system.

Aelius is fully separate from us gals

Dissociation has been very common since we were a very young kid, especially derealization, though depersonalization did happen a lot too. Therapy has helped a lot in terms of grounding

Not much in terms of Amnesia I think? Like, maybe I'm not aware of something, but we do remember our childhood well enough to tell anecdotes and funny stories

We do have emotional amnesia tho, mostly with taking care of the body and household chores (remembering something but like, I did not do that. The memory spawned by itself???)

Uhhh ask for more details if needed!!!

Day ✨️50✨️ of trying to get @gretavanfleet back!!

[spacedace]

"Dude, for the last time, I told you I'm *not* going to replace your blood with coffee. I don't *care* if you'd do my homework for a year. You. Would. *Die.* I can't just change your biology to make that work! And *no* I'm not going to remove your ability to sleep either! Nocturne would kill me the rest of the -"

The entity paused, blinked glowing green eyes, took in the fact that Tim was bound, took in the rest of the Bats and Birds tied up behind him, the circle they were laid in, the - deeply confused - cultists in various states of Evil Summoning Ritual preparation around the dark room.

"Ah." He said, "Okay, yeah fair. Let me just," The being motioned to the cultists, now fumbling over themselves to try and...bow in supplication? Banish the entity? The cultists seemed conflicted on what the right call was, not helped by their leader seeming to panic over the whole thing. "Just, wait here."

Tim gave him a dead pan stare from behind his mask, wiggling enough to rattle the heavy chains pinning him to the floor. "Sure. Take your time. Perfectly comfortable roght where we are."

"You know I could just leave you there right?" The entity asked, casually throwing down a wave of ice towards the cultists and freezing them all in place. More than a few pinwheeled wildly at the sudden stop to their momentum, one slipped on the ice before the full wave hit him trapping him in a painful looking split. "I don't have to save the guy who stood me up for our game of Doomed."

"I was fighting a supervillain! He was trying to take over the world!"

"Yeah, yeah, we've *all* had to fight supervillains trying to take over the world, at least I text to let people know when the fate of humanity is at stake and I'm going to be late."

"Yeah, sure, Kon and I ended up standing outside the movie theater for half an hour think we were stood up because you're so good about texting about those things."

"Hey, I hate to interrupt whatever *this* whole thing is but if you two wouldn't mind, could you maybe explain what the FUCK is going on here?"

Short DPXDC Prompts #776

Tim frowns at the summoning circle that he and his family are trapped in. “They have the runes all wrong.” Taking a deep breath and ignoring the many questions being thrown at him, he starts chanting in a language that none of the batfam have ever heard before. A being rises from the circle, hair wispy and white and eyes bright toxic green.
