#i am a traumagenic system.

[maze-mind]

Why do people think they can ask about your diagnosis? Why do people think they can ask about your triggers?

I have never, not once, answered any of these questions in anything other than DMs. I'm not going to share my story, because people will go:

"Oh! That's bad! That all didn't ACTUALLY happen like you're saying it did!"

[tavgr0ss]

being a system is so funny like. oh something really shitty happened. well time to not know who i am for like a week lol!!!!!!

[cannibalisticdespair]

So, humanity is at over eight billion people. Time for a bit of statistics education for y'all, because I feel like it.

Okay, take a group that's around 1%. At least officially, it could possibly be higher. So like,

BPD: 1.6% officially

DID: 1.5% officially

Trans: 1.14% officially

Schizophrenia: 1.1%

These are American statistics, but presuming that overall none of these have some sort of strong cultural cause, they should be representative of the norm of humanity. Now, let's get the raw number estimate out of this. What we're going to need to do is multiply 8,000,000,000 by 0.016, 0.015, 0.0114, 0.011 respectively.

128,000,000

120,000,000

91,200,000

88,000,000

So, this a rough estimate for the number of people in each category respectively. Bit bigger than you might assume when you hear "approximately 1%", right? When you hear "approximately 1%", you're liable to think something is super rare. And in proportion, yeah, sure.

But plot twist, I'm discussing misinformation and bad propaganda. Did you know the internet allows disparate groups of small populations to connect and form larger communities than was ever possible offline due to how irl populations are distributed? Now, imagine a community of just 25% of trans people. Using the prior information, you can do this calculation yourself.

Done it? Did you get 22,800,000 people? Good job. If not, the calculation should have been 91,200,000 x 0.25. Now, imagine a community online of 22,800,000 people. That's a pretty damn big community online, right?

And this here shows how false claims of the level of visibility of various groups online being the result of "fakers" and "trenders" is. Those claims rely on your inability to understand that even 1% of humanity is 80,000,000 people. You aren't seeing anywhere close to 80,000,000 different people posting about it. You aren't even seeing 1,000,000 people posting about it. You are seeing a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction of humanity posting about it. Social media just enables that itty bitty bit to find each other and interact.

friendly reminder to not get involved/interact in endo bullshit.

block them.

they will not listen, they will not change.

ignore them.

[thecreepycrawlersss]

suddenly realizing that you exist is... odd. but also makes the whole “i am not human i am dead and rotting” thing make a lot more sense in hindsight.

[beingcultureis]

Being living in U.S culture is: :/ Oh. No.

[marchotic]

Serious question.

How do you start trying to make contact with your parts?

I've been rushing through attempting to figure my head out for a couple years and only recently realized i need to take things slowly because i actually know NOTHING about my parts and have been making assumptions.

I've heard the journalling speech a lot but i don't know how to start that either because i am autistic and need clear directions.

Really ANY help or recommendations on how you've made contact would be very helpful to me currently.

[goldmanguyperson]

HATE the phrases “pro endo” and “anti endo” because the damn Internet Discourse Word-ness of it really obfuscates the fact that, in its by far most common usage, “anti endo” is literally just a word for a kind of bigotry. it is about a kind of bigotry that primarily draws on ableism and cultural norms for its philosophical framework. i understand the words are because it is a very internet-centric problem but i still fuckin wish that those werent the words we largely use

[nekrosins]

i stand by what i said before the clancy release 🙏

my personal headcanon is that c!tyler has DID and clancy is an alter made to protect him and rebel against their abusers. with clancy, josh AND BLURRYFACE representing parts of the system. trench, dema, voldsoy are all parts of his inner world.

navigating is so insanely system coded i am so unwell over it.

"im navigating my own head, disassociate"

i also wanna drop this clip because... they are so clearly mocking tylers coping mechanism.

"josh are you hiding? where are you? come here you little moron, you."

SIGH. i will die on this hill.

[theinfernalcollective]

"You can't wear short sleeves because your completely healed scars will trigger me!!🥺"

Y'know, I was thinking about that. And the thing is, I really don't care!

[the-enby-doughnut]

I am. So tired of syscourse. I know if you’re set on being anti-endo I’m not going to change your mind, but if you do actually read this please do some critical thinking about it.

Why do people care about a diagnosis. Why do people care how your system formed. We’re lucky because we’re traumagenic so people aren’t pricks to us. But i’ve met plenty of non-traumagenic people, and i’ve read multiple studies proving their existence.

Even if we weren’t heavily influenced by our trauma we still likely would have split, due to our adhd and autism leading to maladaptive-daydreaming. we still would have split because of that. It’s not fair to judge systems for the way they formed, because honestly, it’s no one’s business. They’re not hurting anyone for existing. They’re still a system.

Don’t fake claim them because they didn’t form exactly how a text book claims because systems are still extremely under researched. I’ve met systems who have split for spiritual reasons. I��ve met systems who split due to having a complex imagination. I’ve met systems who have split for so many reasons. I’ve met systems who’s splitting is none of my business. That doesn’t invalidate them. It just means they’ve had a different experience.

Please just. Let people exist. Let systems exist. I hate feeling torn between existing in my community and standing by my feeling. It feels exactly like how people are trying to cause dogfighting within the lgbtq+ community to tear us apart.

ps. if you read this please reblog it. i’ve been getting a lot of likes but no rbs

I like making requests but you probably want my headmate Nikki, just because she’s a bit more enthusiastic. (@nikki-of-the-coven)

I use the tag actually traumatic to piss of off anti-endos.

[the-mycelium-collective]

The main reasons I doubt myself about being a system are:

I don't remember the Trauma that caused it

I don't have black out amnesia

I have been diagnosed with ADHD, and some symptoms overlap

I grew up in a healthy household - mostly

The logic I have to counter this is:

Alters often take traumatic memories to protect the host. I also do not have very much memory of my life before the ages of 9/10, besides a few vague fragments.

Black out amnesia is not required to be a system. I also do have grey out amnesia and emotional amnesia, but not having black out amnesia makes it harder to get solid proof of the system.

ADHD and DID only overlap in a couple areas, and I have many symptoms that aren't explained by ADHD

There was some mild neglect that I am aware of from my father, but I don't think it goes any farther. However, considering I don't remember the majority of my childhood from before the age of 9/10 years old, and basically nothing before 6/7, a lot of stuff could have happened

And yet I still doubt myself, even with this information

[asylumsyst]

ranty thingy:

friendly reminder that you don’t own a tag, i am doing nothing wrong, it will take a lot more than reporting a few traumagen systems to get us off “your” tags. i am a system, you are in MY territory, YOU stole OUR ENTIRE DISORDER??? and you are claiming that WE are trying to invade YOUR spaces?? i know that no endo will care about this post, im just ranting to the fucking air but oh my LORRDDD

[lemony-ink]

I've never tried talking to someone from the same source as me (introject) and i'm considering it only for the experience of someone being able to mourn with me. It feels like I've lost the life I should have had.

Alter art based on a picture of Ranboo that REALLY felt like it needed cat ears.

Unshaded + ref below the break!! Interaction would be cool… I’m very proud of how this turned out.
