#I should look into osdd I was talking to my sibling about how

[levtashine]

Actually while I'm talking my dissociation has been BAD lately. Every time I drive to work, every time I leave the backrooms to go the sales floor, every time I shower, etc etc I get this very deep feeling of "I'm not actually here, this isn't me doing all this, my body is controlling itself on autopilot" and then I'm just like huh. Well. Anyways. It happens like 5 times a day

4. Is your “original” still around? 

 Yeah, or ig who was felt to be the “original” (Tay) but after looking more into the split dissociation theory it’s likely that there’s no original & that the disorder is more like, u don’t form 1 personality to begin with rather than a personality forming & then splitting. Professionals who are well versed in DID/OSDD stuff usually believe in split dissociation 10. Do you have any alts with pseudomemories (aka memories from before the system)

Yeah, but I think only the introjects do. I’m having trouble with mine lately so I’m not going to talk abt them tho

12. Has anyone ever said/done something the host would never do? How did you explain it away? Did they believe you?

Uhhh if anyone it’d probably be Cole sjlsdlkdjsljs He’s just a lot more forward? Less like worried about ppls feelings? Very “Don’t talk me I’m angy” vibes when he’s in A Mood. But nowadays he’s much better about not actually being like mean to anyone to project anger unnecessarily. 

Ppl usually believe me, as far as those who know I’m a system & he almost never gets me into trouble now? At most he might offend someone bc he was too blunt. & if he does hurt others I always know to take accountability & stuff & do my best to handle the problem. 

That’s one thing that sucks about being a system tbh like, if a singlet friend does an oopsie it’d suck to be responsible for it right? I see it kinda like, if a sibling you’re looking after hurts someone, u were in charge of keeping them under control so u should apologize on their behalf if need be & like make up for it if u have to
