Please help us keep our house!

Hi folks! After struggling to land a job for the past several months, and after having our landlord raise rent on us, we've decided to put together a GFM to try to pull together funds for this month. This is pretty much a last ditch effort to avoid losing our house at this point

About us

We're the Grey Skies, a traumagenic and polyfragmented system with DID. We're best known for the things we create:

Bots like Sheep, Form Fox, and Ticket Golem

Various flags and comics

Integrations, tools, and libraries for PluralKit

And a lot more, honestly ^^;

In short, we love to create things for others, and want to continue being able to do so ^^

We're disabled and struggle with chronic pain caused by muscular issues, along with frequent brain fog, severe social anxiety, and depression. We're autistic and are also overwhelmed/overstimulated easily. These things make a typical job more difficult for us for a number of reasons, but we're still trying our best with it

Our Situation

Long story short: we had to quit our job in order to take care of our physical and mental health, and since then we've been struggling to land a new job that's stable and doesn't contribute to our health issues. Our partner also struggles with working, and it's been hard for both of us to find another means of income that can pay our bills.

Both of us have put in hundreds of applications in an attempt to land some kind of job, but neither of us have had much luck. We've run into a lot of scams (don't worry, we haven't lost anything but time to them), jobs that were harder on us than expected, and plenty of places that interview us and then ghost or reject us. We've had a handful of moments where we thought we'd get the job, only to end up getting rejected shortly after. It's become a pretty devastating cycle, to be honest.

If we do lose the house, we're not sure what'll happen. Our partner has family that she can stay with, but for whatever reason, that family doesn't want us& staying too- despite us being engaged and having been together for over four years now. We& have family in our home state that we might be able to live with, but in the past that home directly contributed to our worsening mental and physical health. It's also very cramped there already, with several extended family members living in a small home that's barely intended for 3 people, let alone the 6 or so currently there. Splitting up would be horrible for both of us as well, and we're afraid for our partner's safety if that happens.

Overall, these past few months have been extremely rough for us. We're hoping that this campaign can help give us more time to secure a stable job, or can help us to reach our goal of being able to work on our projects full time without working a second job.

Introduction to our system!

So, we're called the Forest System, and we collectively are okay with they/them and any neos. We'll be identifying ourselves in the tags, so don't be surprised to see some names in there. We're happy to answer any questions you might have about plurality, but keep in mind we might not always have the answer. If you want to know whether you yourself are plural, we ask that you ask us in DMs.

We're inclusive of all system origins and will not tolerate hate or exclusionism of any kind, and although in theory we won't be debating that there are probably some sysmates who are going to flout that rule. However, we want to make it very clear that this blog is not a place for syscourse. If it comes up, we will tag it with #syscourse and, in theory, not interact with it. And yes, singlets are allowed to follow us, we just ask that you be respectful and aware of the fact that you may not understand everything we talk about here

(Fuck no) To my one sweet life squeezed tight in the vice grip (Fuck no) To the 9-5 suicide, bleeding like a stuck pig (Fuck no, fuck no) Fuck no to living in the matrix

This piece is about being delusional, but it's also about system connection and how we've kept ourselves alive through believing the world is a simulation due to our connection to each other. Like, the delusion is a constant, but we're also a constant. And we're together. And we're family. L + ratio, schizoaffective brain. Oh yeah this piece is also about Mother Mother's new song so jot that down.

hey, feel free to ignore this if it's not the kind of thing you do, but I was wondering if you have any advice for me? I've been looking through DID content and using simply plural a lot recentley because it seems comforting and It helps me organize things, but as far as I know im a singlet and fully concious of everything I do. I've kind of been thinking of it as me being a little further along the plurality spectrum than most people, but not to the point of any dissociation diagnosis other than dpdr. What it feels like in our head is almost like I was several parts at one point, but now I'm just one, more or less?? As in I can function completley fine as one person but there are some things that feel amost like remnants of plurality, like the fact that different parts of me have different roles when we talk to each other, or that I sometimes write or talk a little differently when certain topics come out, or that I act a little different in body language/how sensitive I am to misgendering/the way I talk based on the task we have to do. Using terms like "we" and regulating tasks come naturally to us, and feel right, but we still feel like just one guy at the end of the day. I don't know, I've just been feeling like I don't really have a right to be using all these resources or "pretending" when I can easily just forget the whole thing and go back to being one person whos a little confused when he does wierd things. Sorry if this is invalidating in any way! I am on no scale the same kind of patchwork of concious that plural systems are.

I wouldn’t say you’re being invalidating to anyone at all. Your journey is personal and intrinsic to you. It doesn’t say anything about anyone else’s plurality. Furthermore, plurality is a spectrum and for some, it does fluctuate between sometimes being singlet and being plural. In whatever way they define that for themselves is completely valid. And, honestly, at the end of the day - if these resources help you in anyway, no matter what it is, then that’s more than okay! It’s not the people genuinely using the resources that harm the community, it’s those using it to make a joke of other people.

That all being said, I hope everything becomes clear to you in time. You’re in a very unique position where, if it turns out you’re not plural at all, you could be a good ally to the community.

I hope this helps and have a good rest of your day!

does anyone know of a term for a headmate who is from a fictional source/world but is not introjected from a specific character? not an introject of an oc, but a headmate who split with exomemories from the source but not as a pre-existing character.

Are willogenic gateway systems a thing

How do

[collectivewarmth]

one of the most important things about dissociative identity disorder and generally being a system that i wish people would understand is that it truly isn’t as cut and dry as it may seem for member count.

you’ll see people who say they have “six alters” and then immediately assume it’s six fully fleshed out equal individuals with no confusion or fuzziness regarding identity. that’s simply not true in a majority of cases, as i have seen.

most systems still VERY much deal with confusion regarding potential splits, go through dissociative episodes where they’re unsure of who they are, sometimes feel no attachment towards any identities, feel like they might have split and then suddenly that person is gone, unsure if alters they haven’t heard from often have gone dormant, not sure how to react when alters do come out of dormancy, etc.

it’s not a fun feeling and it’s genuinely unfair in certain situations to force systems to list every single alter to you with full certainty, as if it will never change. because it will. for so many different reasons, systems will grow, they will shrink, they will fuse, they will develop. you can’t expect the person with the dissociative disorder and lack of core identity to be able to keep up a perfected list of forever, it’s simply impossible. you may have alters who stick with you, but that doesn’t mean changes won’t happen.

and systems who may be reading this ��� please don’t feel bad. you are not a hassle, you are not a headache, and you are not an inconvenience for simply coping with something like this. it’s out of your control and the only thing you can do is continue to cope to find ways to help yourself retrain from these reactions. please don’t allow yourself to be harmed by others who don’t understand what you are going through. there are people who will accept and love you for who you are, all of you.

past, present, and future.

saw this on pinterest and thought it might be something traumagenic systems who struggle with thinking their trauma isn't enough need to see

[interstellarsystem]

Shoutout to singlets that accept systems for who they are. Singlets who ask respectful questions and try to understand us. Singlets who do their best to accommodate different headmates and make them feel included. Singlets who listen to what systems have to say. You're so important. Please keep doing what you do.

Calling alters "alters, parts, headmates, peices": 🚫🚫🚫🚫

Calling alters: "those bitchass motherfuckers" ✅️✅️✅️

[moonpool-system]

Cringe culture is unfortunately not dead but we can kill it in major spaces if we all keep being ourselves authentically and unapologetically. What they call "cringe" is actually pretty punk. It's defiance. Keep being yourselves, you're ALLOWED to exist as you are.
