saying "who said that" at the end of a sentence is a lot funnier when you're plural. who DID say that

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

Serious suggestion. If you have no empathy for endogenic systems, you may want to get yourself evaluated for a cluster b disorder. The way anti endos immediately resort to disparaging comments and looking down on endogenics without citing any legitimate or logical reason... It feels like they're just playing a "my trauma was THE WORST and no one has ever suffered the way I suffer" game to make themselves feel somehow superior or more valid. It really does come off as hierarchal thinking, and the overlap between anti endogenics and narcissism is becoming fairly noticeable. Which makes sense since pwnpd easily get trapped in that thought pattern, and I imagine there's plenty of overlap between did and cluster b in general considering both result from excessive trauma.

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.

Plural joy is having a cuddle pile with my partners and them wrapping me in a blanket so it feels like they're physically here!

ADHD is so debilitating and it isn’t talked about enough. Imagine your body doesn’t produce enough of the most essential neurotransmitter. You are constantly seeking this neurotransmitter through any way possible, and it’s why you get addicted to doing things or focusing so heavily on something you forget to meet every single basic need.

You sit there and question what the fuck is wrong with you because it was so easy to study yet you just didn’t do it. It was so easy to do the things you stopped doing but you literally can’t do them.

Like wtf do you fucking mean I was born with a chemical imbalance that makes me incapable of getting up??? Wtf do you mean I have to take stimulants to counteract crippling ADHD symptoms, and then those stimulants actually just make me like everyone else????

Dude. What the fuck.

i sort of dislike how no one in the system community talks about still going through trauma even after finding out you’re a system.

of course i don’t want people to overshare to the point of putting themselves in danger. but im still in an abusive household. i know people who are still in abusive households. the system community always talks about splitting from “minor” things or triggers, but not new trauma or repetitive trauma.

i’m glad some people are doing and functioning better than they were as a child. but don’t forget the rest of us. we’re still here too.
