Shoutout to all those systems that were "perfect" and "easy" in childhood, but were actually deeply traumatized and isolated.
Shoutout to those same systems that started showing signs of early trauma later on, and were then considered burdens and told that their trauma just "suddenly appeared"

There’s two ways we fake claim ourselves and I’m curious to see if other people do the same.
The first way is the most obvious, convincing ourself that we’re not a system, that our alters are made up and that we don’t have DID.
The second way is being convinced we have DID but that our Alters are all made up and we don’t have information about the actual alters of our system. (Ex. In our system we have Aspen James and Salem, if these alters were just made up, but there are alters in our system that are undiscovered and not made up.)
I don’t know if anyone else feels the same way as the second one, but it’s a weird thing to think about.

Being a system is so ‘haha silly’ (/j) until you have to triple check shit because people kept co-fronting and leaving causing you to forget if you did that specific thing. That’s really fucking annoying. (-🩸)

SIMPLY PLURAL LAYOUT IDEAS
thought i would do a lighter post today, so i want to share some things we use in our simply plural to hopefully give you all layout ideas!
CUSTOM FIELDS
in our custom fields, we have:
names that the alter goes by
pronouns
age and birthday
description of the alter, used as a mini-introduction
alter information, used for roles and other alter info
introject information, which includes source and amount of source id
interaction status
boundaries
relationships
front triggers
languages
likes and dislikes
date the profile was last updated
we also have a RAMCOA system specific field for codes the alter was assigned, where we keep track of what they are in our organization systems and any assigned titles they have
CUSTOM FRONT
in our custom fronts, we have:
blurry
triggered
interaction statuses (ask to interact, do not interact, interact with caution, etc.)
frontstuck
limited / no phone access
new alter fronting
private alter fronting
rapid switching
splitting
GROUPS
for our groups, we organize by area of system. we organize by sidesystem and layer. we also have groups for subsystems and if the alter has a specific interaction status
other group ideas:
roles
sources
completeness of profile
fronting frequency
- grey

What I thought a system journal would be like: communication, talking about important matters, and learning about each other
What I got: someone wrote down the phrase “vampire cowboy” over and over again

Friendly reminder that your system functions the way it does for a reason. Systemhood is very personal and specific. You're not going to function the same as everyone else.
And that's okay.
We work better as a large system that switches a lot. Our partner system works better as a small system that only occasionally switches, and even then, the host is nearly always co-con or co-fronting.
We are both incredibly valid systems. Don't let anyone tell you that you're faking just for how your system functions and is organized.

DID is super bizarre because it’s 1:30 AM and I know I’m me, but I can also feel someone close to me. I don’t know which alter it is, all I know is they REALLY want to eat some peanut butter. Not on a sandwich or anything like that. Just plain peanut butter. I respect it, but Jesus Christ dude it’s ONE IN THE FUCKING MORNING. PEANUT BUTTER CAN WAIT.
