#DID SYSTEM

[r0ttingsystem]

Being a system is so weird like my mummy and daddy didn't like me so now I'm sans the skeleton

[boyswillbedogz]

trauma so bad my coping mechanisms have names and pronouns

[petaliiss]

Common things in DID that no one likes to talk about

- switches that feel like you’re turning into someone else rather than them taking control (non-possessive switching)

- being unable to recognize amnesia until something requires you to remember something you forgot

- staying in the front for weeks at a time

- being unable to communicate with alters internally (this is so common why does everyone act like this is weird?)

- feeling like you don’t have any problems because you feel disconnected from them

- constant denial

- rapid identity, label, and appearance changes

- comorbidities, particularly personality disorders, anxiety disorders, and the schizophrenia spectrum

- autism (there is science pointing towards autistic people being more susceptible to trauma)

- disliking your system

- wanting final fusion

[fleshfictive]

NOT supportive to your system friends:

- "can you make [alter] front?"

- always asking who's fronting

- getting upset when they can't remember something

VERY supportive to your system friends:

- giving them money

- "here's $50 for you"

- relinquishing your money to them

- offering them money

DON'T PUT YOUR TRIGGERS AND/OR PHOBIAS IN YOUR WEBSITES/PINNED POSTS/BIOS/ETC. FOR EVERYONE ON THE INTERNET TO SEE. ONLY TRUSTED PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THAT INFORMATION, NOT THE WHOLE INTERNET. YOU WILL GET HURT!!! MEAN PEOPLE WILL USE IT AGAINST YOU!!!

[syspositivy]

being blurry is like ''i'm [alter]'' *realizes i'm acting different*

''yo maybe i switched''

and as it turns out, there was no recent switch, and i was infact not [alter], but instead, [alter #2], and i spent almost an entire day thinking i was [alter].

[plural-positive]

a system is mid-switch. their friend asks if they're okay, to which they reply, "give me just a moment and i'll be Frank with you."

[flareon-system]

Literally me man... I used to always be interested in my friend @lacedwithcrack system and everytime I saw them I'd ask who's fronted and then I realized I was a system 😭 that shits crazy man

being a "singlet very interested in systems" to finding out you ARE a system pipeline is real

seeing people my age talk about how scared they are of memory loss, which they only associate with old age, is so surreal to see as a 24 year old who has actively experienced memory loss for a long time now

there are causes for memory loss besides dementia and alzheimer’s, i hope y’all know that. dissociative disorders, trauma, brain injuries, thyroid problems, even just stress and lack of sleep can fuck up your ability to store, process, and access memory. and that’s just a few of the many causes i can think of off the top of my head right now.

please stop treating disabled people like some scary “other” that you might become only in the distant, decades-away future. we are your age, too. you may become one of us sooner than you know. stop acting like memory loss marks the end of a life, when so many of us have so much living left to do!

When the dissociative identity disorder starts dissociating my identity

[antiendovents]

...what even did I just stumble across

Literally no what the actual fuck headmates are created when there is a need for them NOT when you suddenly decide 'oop I want another one' and just pretend. That's all these people do. They pretend and they're literally admitting it.

.......

What the fuck is wrong with people. Bro I'm gonna go bash my head into a wall

THEY'RE JUST OUTRIGHT ADMITTING THEY'RE ROLEPLAYING AT THIS POINT

Friendly reminder that the way roles function can and will vary between systems, and that is perfectly fine!

Sometimes, a host in a system will just be an alter that fronts a lot. Other times, the host may be somebody with a lot of power. Either alternative is perfectly alright, it just depends on what that system needs.

This could go for any role! Gatekeepers may have more or less power system to system, protectors may be more or less reliable, persecutors may not be an immediate danger to the body, and prosecutors may not be an immediate danger to the people around said system.

There are also systems who may not have very structured roles, or they might possibly make up their own roles! That’s perfectly fine too! Nobody’s brain functions the same way, you can’t expect people to work in the exact way that you do. :)

System culture is knowing you only exist because a child was irreparably traumatized and feeling really salty about it
