#we are not a disordered system

[orbitposting]

DID but not as in presence of "evil murderer alter", DID as in buying two drinks instead of one because someone came to front after seeing a blue raspberry slushie and DEMANDED to have it, but the alter who walked all the way to the gas station refused to leave without getting what they wanted to get initially.

[osddid-i-do-that]

For any system that needs to hear this:

Experiencing periods of silence in your brain is normal. You’re not making it up or faking or actually just a singlet just because you can’t hear other alters 24/7/365.

I hate having to argue whether my *diagnosed disability* is enough to make me considered "disabled." "I don't think your autism makes you disabled tho" FUCKING CRY ABOUT IT????? Gods, why is everyone in my family so frustrating lmfao. Also yes, my physical chronic illness and mental illnesses may be undiagnosed, but my symptoms are still disabling. Sighhh i just want to be fucking listened to...

When DID Can Form

Based on my extensive research, I believe DID can develop between the ages of 6-12. This is wide range is due to a multitude of factors, including neurodivergence, I've found. Autism and other such things cause someone to have a low stress tolerance and/or get stuck FEELING a certain age subjectively/mentally due to the stress in their life and/or the Autism. This would explain why the physical age range is so wide.

(personal trauma mention; non-extensive talk) I know this is true due to the fact that we are Autistic and have gone through several bouts of stunted mental age, AND it causes a very low stress tolerance. Our most major traumas didn't happen UNTIL we were bodily 10-16. We had some other "smaller" traumas before that, and we were essentially emotionally neglected by both parents for the entire duration of childhood and beyond. For someone with a low stress tolerance, though, this is enough to prevent a full personality from developing. Especially considering we weren't even really being taught how to have a personality (see "emotional neglect" and "Autism" haha).

Everything stated here is based on extensive research and personal experience. We're not professionals (but we certainly could be considered such at this point).

something i don’t see talked about in the system community enough are the dissociative shutdowns.

when you’re in a system, you know what it feels like to not have control over your body because somebody else does. so, when you’re supposed to be controlling the body and, when life hits the fan, suddenly it won’t do anything you want it to do, it’s terrifying.

the world feels crushing yet far away at the same time. your eyes are looking around, but they’re not truly seeing. you can hear someone talking, and you can’t respond— and if you are, the words falling off your lips are foreign and feel numb on your tongue.

when you’re in that state you feel nothing. you don’t notice your own actions (if you can even muster any), you don’t register touch or pain, you don’t feel cold, you don’t feel heat.

hours pass. maybe it’s only minutes? it’s impossible to tell. you’re frozen in time and space but everything is still moving on around you.

then all the sudden it’s over. at least it seems over. something still feels… wrong. but there’s no time to address that.

as time goes on, it turns out that you never really circle back to why that happened. until it happens again. then you ignore it. the cycle continues.

"Maybe I will be fronting when we wake up tomorrow," she thought, foolishly.

[multiplicity-positivity]

hey, we have a question for systems of color and systems who are part of a marginalized religion:

what can individuals do within the plural community to cultivate a safe, welcoming space for systems who are racial and religious minorities? what can we, as white, non-religious or christian systems, be doing to better uplift and center y’all in our spaces and discussions?

we saw a post (we can’t remember from whom - sorry) a while back that brought attention to the racism within the plural community. how can we as a community address this and strive to create a space where all systems can be acknowledged, accepted, and prioritized? we think it’s a conversation worth having and should become more of a priority in our spaces.

we’re posting this on our positivity blog because we want this blog to be a safe and positive space for all systems, and we recognize that that means asking for feedback and input from those who are marginalized in different ways from us.

any and all feedback would be very much appreciated. thank you so much.

Hey fellow plurals, are you up to sharing some experiences?

We're curious! How did you first become aware of your system?

If that's too vague, what first caused you to suspect something was up? And what was the last straw where you were like "oh we can't just ignore this"? If you had a moment like that.

Somehow Severance manages to be better DID rep without even trying than most media that’s actually trying to portray DID

Mafuyu from project sekai

!! rating: Not Plural. ok hear me out. do not kill me for this.

okay buckle up i have a LOT TO SAY on this one. please save any comments for after youve finished reading this entire post.

i know sysmafuyu is a VERY COMMON headcanon among this fanbase, i know it is cherished i know it is loved, to a point a good handful of people will unironically think it is a canonical thing, when sadly it is not.

commonly, within the sysmafu headcanons, we have her two other alters; yuki + own. yuki is characterized as mafuyu's good girl persona whilst own is characterized as this edgy boy (unsure specifically where that one came from, save from white day? feel free to give more insight, mafuyu fans)

although as i just said yuki is characterized as mafuyus good girl persona. persona. an act, she purposefully puts on because of how overbearing and overcontrolling her mother is. this is not inherently plural.

own, or OWN, is a username mafuyu went by to upload music anonymously, the reason its called "own" is because its finally her own space, free from her mothers shackles, this again; is not inherently plural

the way mafuyu exists as a character (and thus grows and learns more As A Person, thats what pjsk is literally all about; change and hashtag friendship) has absolutely no signs of plurality; she is extremely monotone, very autism creature for lack of a better word ( just her expression + tone of voice usually, im not saying she has autism ) and when interacting with strangers or people shes not as close to as her group mates, she puts on the good girl persona that her mother thinks she is, mafuyu purposefully acts that way. it is important to her as a character that she is purposefully acting that way.

there ARE HOWEVER emotional dissociative barriers, which is not exclusive to systems + plurality

someone else, @buggitino phrased it all So SO much better than i ever could, and i will link that post here: x

[or here]

please read that post in its entirety before commenting, as it has points i was going to bring up in here but again phrased in a much much better way
