#polymind community

[spectralmindset]

I see all these people arguing about polyminds in syscourse but like, they seem to be missing an important point.

You do all realize that polyminds were never meant to be tangled up in system spaces?

The term wasn't coined to replace endogenic systems. It wasn't coined to be r/systemcringe approved systems. It wasn't coined for systems in denial.

The term was coined people like me who have similar experiences but can't find a label, for those confused about what they are; because at first I thought it was just me, but it isn't.

The only reason why they ended up in the spaces is because other people kept insisting they're similar or even the same.

But the majority of polyminds just want to exist in peace.

[enbuggsblurr]

All these people claiming that polyminds are just like endos or “systems in denial” are missing the whole point of polyminds existence.

Polyminds are not a replacement for endos or plurality, the community is not strictly anti or pro-endo, it’s just a place for people like me and many others to exist in peace. It falls under the definition of plurality, sure, but that was never the goal when the term was coined.

Polyminds have our own wiki, our own discord, and our own tags because we’re trying to build a community outside of system spaces that still allows us to talk about our experiences without silencing others— but it’s like we can’t win. We make up a new name and we’re told we’re delusional, we create our own terms to separate ourselves from systems and yet we’re told we’re “copying”, we try to find others like us and we’re told we’re “attention seeking”. I don’t want attention, I don’t want to be called a system, I don’t want to copy anyone, I just want to talk about my experiences without being bullied or told I’m faking.

We just want to exist in peace, not be dragged into useless system and plural drama that we have nothing to do with. What’s so hard to understand?/gen

some Polymind / SeunusID terms we coined for ourselves

==Cycle Types==

Cycle: an act of redistributing a mind's or ID's traits into a new mind or ID.

Crebercycle: A collective that frequently cycles or frequently creates minds or IDs. Creber is a latin word meaning 'frequent'.

Raruscycle: A collective that rarely cycles or rarely creates new minds or IDs after their initial seperation. Rarus is a latin word meaning 'rare'.

no flags bc i suck at creating flags :"D

[fictkinstuff]

Huh. The pronoun sets I use seem to be grouped in some kind of presets already, and seem to be... Different in preferences and traits, seemingly. I don't understand why-

*discovers poly-mind*

-Nevermind.

Question for polyminds

Okay so, I am aware that OSDID and polymind are different things. One is about distinct personality states caused by childhood trauma etc. you all hopefully know what OSDID is so I hopefully don’t have to explain it in more detail..and if you don’t, idk man google it. And polymindness means being able to distinguish subpersonalities? 

But here’s my question, how does polymindness differ from Internal Family System (IFS)?

IFS is a psychotherapy that identifies and addresses multiple sub-personalities within each person.  These subpersonalities are called family so that’s where there word family comes from in IFS btw, I am pretty sure

don't make this into sys discourse, idc. I'm DID system not IFS or polyminded, but this post isn't about OSDID

[spectralmindset]

I dunno bro saying your polymind sounds like you are either A. Trying to fake having DID with extra steps which is frankly extremely fucked up or B. Trying to make yourself look special when you really ain't

I'm genuinely confused about A because like, polyminds repeatedly and constantly say "hey!! We're not systems, we are very different from people who have a serious disorder."

But to actually answer the question; anon did you do any research on either? DID is a serious dissociative disorder, alters are only one of the diagnostic criteria and people who are affected by it experience memory gaps, amnesia, identity confusion with some reporting suicidal idealization, hallucinations and such.

Polymindence is not a disorder, it is not a medical term, it is not in the DSM 5 criteria and is not a professional diagnosis. Polymindence has little effect on the person's life, if any.

The B just really proves a point written in a different post I've seen. I'm not trying to get extra attention or seem special, I'm just trying to share my experiences and find a community of people who have similar ones.

[enbuggsblurr]

I fear that’s the point..

[xenodarlings]

New ideas for mind-forms! I'm not feeling too good as of now, so no usual format. Flags will be made once asked specifically, or when I'll feel better. Apologies!

Anyone can use these terms.

Mythling

A mind that is based off the mythical beings, cryptics, or anything alike. They might present themselves with the attributes which the mythical being is associated with, but don't have to.

◟★◞

Songling

A mind based on songs, albums, meanings of lyrics of a song, or anything alike. They might present themselves with the attributes or traits which the songs or lyrics are associated with, but don't have to.

◟★◞

Plantling

A mind based off a plant, whether it's one of a group of them! They might present themselves with the attributes which the plants or very concept of nature is associated with, but don't have to.

◟★◞

Dreamling

A mind based off a dream, or alternatively, a day-dream. They might present themselves with similarly to how the body looked in the dream/daydream, but don't have to.

If any of these exist already, inform me of that and I'll delete that part of the post.

More polymind / seunusID terms ~ may pahabol pa hahaha

== More Cycle types ==

Nevercycle: a polymind that does not have any minds added to their count since their initial seperation.

Trabeacycle: a polymind that is between crebercycle and raruscycle. where they may go on periods cycling/creating minds frequently and also periods where they rarely create or cycle minds. It may also be that their creation/cycle frequency is in between rarely and frequently.

========= Afterword:

i thought these would be neat to add to the cycle types. im having fun coining these terms. next term would be sub-minds or sub-splinters but idk how to word them properly in a way thatll make sense the easiest. -Olive

[hellhoundzzz]

you can't willingly become a system . stop roleplaying a dissociative trauma disorder . you can't " choose to become a system " do you even fucking hear yourself , alters aren't imaginary fucking friends you can make whenever the FUCK YOU WANT .

[flinnir]

it hurts a lot when i picture myself as a dragon (sometimes involuntarily), it's... really hard to imagine myself with anyone else. no one next to me, not even my crush. no one in the area, the background, no friends. and then i'm like, "well, i'm only picturing myself, so maybe i should picture myself with others instead."

but it's always so uncomfortable. it doesn't feel right. doesn't feel normal. doesn't feel like i deserve to be next to other people. especially as an ugly red white and blue popsicle dragon 😟. and yet it's only Flinn that's sad. sometimes I have no idea if Flinnir gets sad. I probably do, just not in the same way Flinn does.

Sleepover Personalities

A term used to describe (a group of) personalities or kin’s that become prominant for a temporary amount of time, often during dissasociative episodes.

While Sleepover Personalities might function similarly to alters (or plurality) they are not to be confused with alters, which are a part of the OSDID spectrum. Instead, they fall under IRL and/or -kin! The user is still completely in control of their own actions, thoughts and feelings. But might feel as if they are a completely separate person.

The emoji (combo) used to tag these are; 💤💭.

EX.

[Roach] 🥀 | 💤💭

It’s important that your personal tag comes BEFORE the s/o personality tag to avoid confusion!

‘How can I tell if I have a sleepover personality?’

- They appear more during (heavier) dissociative episodes.

- They sometime’s feel like a completely separate person, with their own feelings, thoughts, desires, etc.

- They blend together with your actual personality (on rare occasions).

- They have the reason of ‘creation’ to cope with stress and daily life.

- They will slip away or not be prominent for a period of time, but will ALWAYS return.

These are not the only symptoms, you’re more prone to experiencing a Sleepover Personality if you experience; Dissociation/depersonalization, psychosis, a personality disorder, a dissociative disorder.
