Just a reminder that Vincent van Gogh did not eat yellow paint to make himself feel happy, he ate paint, and drank different chemicals because he was suicidal and this is why he was not allowed in his studio while having breakdowns. He also did not paint starry night and his other great works because he was depressed, he painted most of them while he was in recovery and demonstrated his hopefulness and love of the world through this. Most of his great works were painted from his room at a hospital. Van Gogh’s depression should not be glorified. His hope and effort toward a better life, as well as his recovery from depression should be glorified.

No, alters cannot be killed.

And louder for the people in the back: ALTERS CANNOT BE KILLED.

CANNOT. BE. KILLED.

Integration is not equal to homicide, guys, seriously, you’re spreading unbelievably dangerous misinformation to vulnerable people so kindly stop it and go do some basic research.

Q&A

Questions from: TheMoonSystem

Sorce: Reddit

Q. 1) What is your inner world like, if you have one?

A: Our inner world consists of a large forest that completely surrounds two houses. One big, one small - Lexi

Q. 2) Do you guys have a hobby or something you do as a system, even if it’s just small groups? Such as watching a show together.

A: Yes, we watch movies together all of the time, and Ava often reads to the littles. - Lexi

Q. 3) Has anyone made the person front laugh unexpectedly from a off-hand comment or joke?

A: Yes, all of the time, especially if Ava is close; she has a very dark and sarcastic sense of humor. -Lexi

Q. 4) To whoever wisher to answer: What is your favorite dialogue/memory you’ve had with another alter?

Q. 1) How has dissociating affected your daily life?

A: It used to affect me a lot, especially before I knew that I had DID, and I didn’t know mine/everyones triggers. Now, there is a lot more unity within our system, and everyone knows that if they want to, or need to, that they are more than welcome to front. Really bad dissociation only happens from a negative trigger, or loud public places. -Rae

Q. 2) What are your favorite coping techniques?

A: Listening to music (this one is a big help! Everyone has their own playlist), squeezing my hands together/squeezing someone else’s hand(s), naming something I can feel, see, and hear, then describing those three things in detail, either to myself or someone else, singing. -Rae

Q. 3) Do you have an inner world/headspace? If so, what is it like? If not, have you thought about visualizing and creating one?

A: Answered above (: -Rae

Q. 4) Do you lose time and, if so, how do you deal with that?

A: Yes! Yes, yes, yes, allll of the time! (weirdly enough, most often in the shower) I normally have a stopwatch going on my phone. It really helps with knowing if I’ve been on the computer too long, or if it’s time to emerge from my room lol -Rae

Q. 5) What’s a non-alter DID/OSDD thing you wish more people knew about? (since a majority of media interest is in the alters aspect, but both of these conditions are so much more!)

A: First off, well said! And I really wish the people knew how common DID/OSDD is. There’s not one person, every ten years that ‘magically’ has this -Rae/Lexi/Ava

Q. 6) And finally, a fun one

What’s your favorite bonding activity to lower dissociative barriers and bond with your headmates? 

A: I really, REALLY love listening to music, and have a massive playlist. One of my favorite things to do, is put all of my songs on shuffle, and see what songs trigger who, or who like a particular song. That song then get’s put into their playlist, and pretty soon, that alter has a list of songs that’s just for them. It’s also very helpful if someone needs to stay fronted for some reason, plus, we get to jam out and have dance parties! -Rae/Kelsise/A little
