A little. Trying to get the littles to nap before fireworks freak us out. But it's raining so not sure if any will happen today. Update grrr after 4 no rain so will see how tonight goes
We've had the worst headache for a few days now and idk what it could be. Also super dissociated
hope theirs no fireworks then! Get some sleep

Hi I’m, scared to be out. I feel super spacey, shaky and not really in control of my brain. -Renee
I’m not sure what to do other than charge my phone
I’m not sure how to… ground (I think the word was) myself.
I don’t feel safe here.
That and my ear and brain feel like ||electric shocks||.
Tics are active a bit too.
I feel switchy but don’t hear or ‘feel’ anything.
Think motor tic attack. Ears been getting random shocks
To ground yourself identify things you can see, feel, taste, smell and hear :) What also helps me is feeling textures and air breeze
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) I’m not sure how to… ground (I think the word was) myself.
It will be okay I know its scary
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) I don’t feel safe here.
Thank you.
worst combo ever struggling with that right now. 1:42am no sleep woooo

I’m sorry
thankfully we went to sleep with only a tiny bit of trouble but it was pretty much fine ^^

Well blacked out last night from fireworks and woke up to a message in my journal where Astrid put the girls in the deepest parts of the inner world in a soundproof room to keep them safe especially for Sandy who is autistic because she has meltdowns from stress
oh well thats good that she was safe
wow another system talking about how they feel fake !! astonishing behaviour!! /j
i feel so fake for having so many alters and not knowing where most of them even go after the short time they're fronting
like idek what im supposed to do about it either. am i supposed to remove the people i havent seen in ages and consider them just "gone"???
how am i supposed to know if they still exist or not or if they ever even existed in the first place
everything was so much easier when we first discovered we were a system-
obviously not the getting to understand everything and all the confusion about it but like we were such a small system with distinct af personalities and identities and it was so easy to tell who was who 24/7-
now its just like " am i this person? this person? this person? no wait maybe im both- or neither? am i new?!?! actually i think im this person. actually nvm!!!! im just gonna disappear into the void now because i became blurry and will never front again (not on purpose) because of the confusion of knowing who tf i am !! "
If it helps I feel that a lot too
I don't speak about it much but denial is a big issue for me & my system and that can come in many forms (such as fake claiming yourself)
Think about it this way:
What would be the "correct" way in your head? Because I guarantee you that whatever you experienced your brain would tell you it's wrong anyway
Too much amnesia
Not enough amnesia
Too much headspace contact
Not enough headspace contact
Too many alters
Not enough alters
Alters are too similar
Alters are too different
It's never enough when denial kicks in. Take a minute to breathe and think
People who worry they are faking probably aren't. And even IF you're not a system, you're not faking, you're just misguided
thank u so much this really helps 😭 ❤️ /gen
Ofc :)
How do you work together to keep your system stable when you don’t have a stable host?
Jay (Host) and Alastor (Persecutor) fused recently to form Harmony, who I think our brain though would be our host, but they ‘got bored in front’ after fronting for 3 days straight and just left front
idk this happens to us all the time 😭
we're kinda just used to it atp but that's probably not helpful at all-
It’s fine
We’re used to it as well but hate it
Not had a stable host since pre-syscovery (system discovery)
same T_T
we had a host that lasted for like. maybe a month. idk, it was a while ago so i dont remember exactly
greatest moment of all time 😭
Longest our host survived was 7 years (7-13/14 ish)
But that was pre-syscovery so I don’t know if it counts
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) Longest our host survived was 7 years (7-13/14 ish)
thats crazyy
fair enough tho
I think it was stable at least - can’t remember shit
#amnesia
OMG THERE IS A BUS….
(We never see buses near our house xD)
./ot
POG
buses are cool :3
I love that word 😄
POG
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) :catjam: POG
lmfao ofc you do /lh-t
Yeah… haha
:3
But pog is a very poggers word
fr
That is such a Tommy thing to say 😭
XD
It’s fineee
Ig that’s why we were struggling with our chest - I’m fem and Tommy is obviously masc.
fair enough
Yea, our host feels like its changing and I think their masc, but we're bodily female-
Thinking about our host’s journey is pretty interesting. Fem all the way up until 14, then suddenly boom, He/Him. Although he identified as genderfluid because a few of us influenced him into thinking that, unintentionally obviously…
omg same we were definitely just a cis girl until uhh.. 13?
i have no idea what happened ngl
it's kinda scary too cuz like. i know we feel what we feel. i know we're not just some cis girl. but you hear people say things like "you're either trans from birth or not. you can't just "turn" trans" (and i've never said we "turned" trans either cuz like- i mean that just doesn't feel right-) but like. wtf are we then?? what happened 😭 who uncised our gender???
kinda went on a rant sorry
It’s fine, ig it’s different with systems, because (in our case) the brain may decide that you need a male host in order to stand up to your abuser because being female = being weak
Probably why our sys is male majority, last time we checked at least
yeah makes sense ig
the thing that confuses me most is that we seem to have mostly fem alters
idk, we just didn't expect it 😭
Yeah, that’s fair
We were entirely cis until I wanna say 14 years old, but we had syscovery at 12 years old
That is the same with our brain, I think.
Feel like a new person is coming to front :c
I suck at explaining things
If they’re here we could help /nf
help we’ve felt that😭😭
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) now its just like " am i this person? this person? this person? no wait maybe im both- or neither? a…
mhm, our ex-host was a tomboy lesbian and then was like erm nah im trans (hint hint it was problaby just me) and when I took over halfway through highschool (when bella left host when hs started and then the host at that time, Nothing, fronted.) and then she fronted of recent (this year) and was like
😟WHERES OUR HAIR?? (I cut out hair SUPER short)
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) Thinking about our host’s journey is pretty interesting. Fem all the way up until 14, then suddenly …
mb bro
🙄🤣
I feel like system mashed potatoes. Like a bunch of alters inside 1 alter and stuck in front, thinking back and forth to each other with no barriers…. This is odd.
We are individuals inside of a brain suit inside of a meat suit but all feel really conscious of the others.
That is a good sentence xD

a friend of ours referred the body as the skinsuit and we just use that phrase now
along with asking whos fronting its just "who's that pokémon"
IT'S PIKACHU
That’s so cool (I don’t know what Pokémon is, but other person here informs me it is good)
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) a friend of ours referred the body as the skinsuit and we just use that phrase now

Thank you /gen
Update, we found 2 new guys recently. The one that is super close to front and one thats probably an autopilot one
rats in a trenchcoat

Truth
This meme was literally us earlier 😭
I love this meme a lot. I always laugh at it
Funny enough I picked up Pokémon bandaids from shoppers today 😂
However I feel like us as a system shouldn’t be guessing who we have in our system. Because it feels like we do, cause it’s like we get a subconscious boost of dopamine/serotonin for approval that we do actually have the alter but there’s not any proof they exist.
Like front evidence is null in void
GG @hybrid skiff, you just advanced to level 10!
I love sayijt “whos thay pokemon” cause i love pokemon and its a fun way to ask
and even public too, its not suspicious
or I just sign in ASL “who” and then yeah
Splitting again only a few months after the last split feels so exhausting. Like we have a pretty high split tolerance and this is the second time in a few months. Is our split tolerance getting lower as we start to communicate more? :/
It can happen, especially if others start to front and get used to fronting
Idk though. It happens with some systems for different reasons.
How does one get un-front stuck? I am a nonhuman alter, but stuck in front. I wish to not front for the time being.
Sorry about that, it got frontstuck and we switched
Everythings ok now!
this isn’t even all of today. but uhm. woooo-
Omg 💀
I don’t think we have ever had a front that full of switches.
I’m sorry it’s been so hectic
it’s not happened for a while but it was genuinely like. i could not be left alone for more than a minute. and i was doing fine today-
like they’d switch in and out to make sure i was not in front by myself. i know there were triggers but they weren’t exactly day ruining-
i really want a calmer day tomorrow.
Hopefully it will be ^_^
i feel u bro
Yea, we definitley did
been there indeed
maybe if i just don’t log the co-con then nobody will be co-con- /hj
omg😭 I havent seen these two in months and they both showed up at the same time 😭 insane duo (they are both incredibly sweet)
hii! does anyone have any name suggestions for me? <3
i think i like names starting with P but i'm not entirely sure!
Any preference on theme and gendering?
paige. uhm.
probably fem :D not sure on themes-
word names are cool too
petunia. uhhh.
piper.
Poppy
Paisley
Piper/Pip/Pippi
Pheonix
Pheobe
Promise
Pearl
Persephone
Pembroke
Penny
Paris
Petra
Pepper
penny.
Pippa
Pax
Polly
Parx
Patton/Pattern
Price
welcomes.
Honestly baby name websites are your friend
MagicBabyNames is a good site
I hate it when we gotta practice violin and then we switch and the alter doesnt know violin-
We don’t have that problem… luckily 😭
Yea
Probably because we’ve done violin since 3 or smth. I don’t know.
We had that problem with Anth and coding though. He would always be fronting during our computing lessons and that never ended well 😭
Yeah there's a quote in this server of "me" saying that 'word' is a 4 syllabic word.
Turns out Kai does not know as much about English Lang as I do XD
Lol, I understand
Its so funny, we love swimming and water but theres one fox alter in our system who HATES water😭😭😂
i think it’s even worse today somehow-
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) this isn’t even all of today. but uhm. woooo- 📎
us with piano. and art. and math 😭
theres also a persecutor who drinks milk straight and everyone else hates it
Im sorry, Im sleepy
ur good /gen
off topic but does anyone here make like capcut template memes of system alters
cause we love doin that sm
Can ya give us an example of what that would be?
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) off topic but does anyone here make like capcut template memes of system alters
cw for yelling ish + 💀 threat
Haha that’s hilarious xD
We don’t have much communication going on within our sys so we don’t know anything about each other to do it 😭
valid, its just from noticed interactions and TONS of organization for us
Yeah
another one, cw for loud noises and yelling again + emoji/drawn weapons
Hehe
Ya know when you think an alter is gone from co-con so you go to remove their SP status and they just go “I’m fucking here ya shithead”… yeah… that was Tommy to us. Dabi was more subtle about still being here 😭
The cons of having so bad communication that you cant tell when people are co-con besides the “I need to wear a binder but I normally like my chest…?”
Should I have said “such bad” or is “so bad” grammatically correct? Ugh. If we have passed our English GCSEs I’ll be so surprised
If you need any english help, Im a part of the school writing center
Meh, it’s fineee I never have to do it again. Did my exams this year. I should pass them - got an 8 in paper 1 and a U in paper 2 xD (paper 2 was probably a 3 or a 4, just the teacher didn’t wanna give me a grade because she expected better from me 😭)
I get that lol
I’m so nervous for results day. It’s in 1 month and 14 days. And I have basically nothing to do between now and then
felt
yeah it uhm. was worse.
made some more
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) off topic but does anyone here make like capcut template memes of system alters
It’s a party! Wooo!! /silly-lh
happens all the time😂
“So bad” Such bad isnt how its said grammatically ^^ /info
2 hour long party. pain.
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) It’s a party! Wooo!! /silly-lh
Oh damn 😬
holy fuck
like meaning fronting in one moment, the number of people who would show up would be 5 max
normally maximum is 3 fronting fronting (not co-con) but we had like. 6 at a time all switching places of control and like. aaaa.
??? a U?? GCSE? Are you british? /genq /nfta lol
it was so much.
Oh jesus christ im sorry
meh. it’s calm now.
thats good!
i’m not gonna remember enough like. to. have any emotional attachment to it. it happened. no idea why. it was painful and stressful and probably caused more issues but it’s fine for now-
i’m really like. happy we had. people like. to talk to during it though. because it made it a lot easier than if it was just us alone in bed or something.
fair enough
I’m sorry. I bet the headache is bad.
HELP i remmeber that 😭
Yeah me too it was fucking embarrassing :')
XD
I'm back people. I disappeared for weeks but I'm back in business here
Now I gotta rant about tuning this damn guitar
REAL
Haha
Been hyperfixating on MHA for 2 months now and have got a Todoroki and a Dabi introject 😭
story of a good ammount of our alters lol
Alex 😭👀
What?
I mean I didn't even make the meme I stole it from someone else I just thought people would relate
We don't actually have any fictives, only a couple factives
Im starting to question the validity of our system again, because we cant get diagnosed or tested or anything due to living conditions, and like one of us is co-con all the time, but others take front. We have no amnesia, except for just a tiny bit and im just confused. /nav
Same for the front and amnesia stuff but when alters step back they sometimes take memories but other than that I'm always co-con do I know what's happening and that's still totally valid
GG @heady hornet, you just advanced to level 2!
I don't watch movies or play games or anything like that and I don't really hyperfixate soooo
Now excuse me while I cry about this out of tune guitar. I swear its faulty–
Thank you, Im just kinda worried because I can't do anything about our system and I dont even know how to make it functional, especially since we're switching hosts (Im still always co-con...)
I'm talking with a psychologist so yea but I still have memory gaps a lot and forget the days before like usual just not much amnesia between switching and stuff like that
I suppose thats the same with me a bit
its always the obscure AF stuff for us too like when did my brain decide it would be a good idea to have an introject of a 1999s first person ||shooter|| game mod which was based off of a book called House of Leaves
like maybe three people know it my god
Helllppp we have been front stuck for like the past 3 months AND THE DOOR TO LEAVE IS LOCKED!!
I mean. I am an introject and the main host. So I get the issue. We also have Left4Dead fictives I think. Unless they are gone and merged now. Unsure.
That’s really cool though to have an alter from that kind of game.
We have 3 introjects from the same place if I'm correct? All split at different times but I suppose the brain just really latches onto it
Hm. I think one of us recalls you talking about that. I don’t have access to that though.
We have a few factives, so far only 1 hasn’t shown.
TW: Grief, Loss, d**th, Losing A Friend
||So, one of our long term friends has passed on. He was well known within the system and supported us through a lot. We have known him since 2015 so this loss comes as a total and utter shock. He was 24. He was very close to one of our younger system members. Her name is Mouse and she has known him since 2016. However her mental age is between that of a 4-7 year old. How do you explain this subject or this topic to a younger system member whilst keeping sensitivity and taking into account their mental age. She is already asking why he isn't replying when she messages him and calls him.||
Yeah this is what I was thinking of doing, someone else said to be upfront with it but I can't do that at this moment because I don't know what the effects would be on the system?
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) Like saying that the friend is gonna be away for some time or smthn
Just leave front. That’s what I did 😭
Worked for a day and a half then I’ve been here since again (only almost 2 days luckily)
I miss our long hair :(
Hosting for a relatively internal based system is so weird sometimes because rn the system is in absolute chaos, new splits, old memories, broken trust, burn out, inner world changing ect ect and I'm just over here dancing to club music making pasta like
After a few weeks of being calm, this happens…
Luckily most of us are only co-con
That doesn’t really work for us unfortunately haha
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) Just leave front. That’s what I did 😭
Worked for a day and a half then I’ve been here since again (…
Yeah my system mates can't just leave front either there has to be a reason
lucky for them I’m here instead for some reason lmao
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) That doesn’t really work for us unfortunately haha 📎
i have a question: Has anyone dealt with an alter having a crush on another alter before?
GG @glass axle, you just advanced to level 5!
Yes. Intersystem relationships are common. Especially in polyfrag systems
We don’t though
interesting! We've never heard anyone talk about those
Yup. 2 of the alters in our sys were in a relationship
So true :-:
REAL
they Love to front when we’re needing to do things
the amount of tests i’ve taken through co fronting with a 3 year old is astounding
it’s so difficult to have littles some days tho I love them
So true I have one co fronting and my husband said she was being very cute during our movie date hugging her teddy and rocking
Yes it can be especially when you have to use your big girl voice and try to get them to co front if possible because it's not always safe for them to be out by themselves
100%, I love my littles so much their the world to me but it’s so difficult if they come out in public such as school, big hangouts when people don’t understand that a little is fronting, or just going out to eat. Their so sweet but people just don’t see them as their own person sadly
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) Yes it can be especially when you have to use your big girl voice and try to get them to co front if…
awwwwwww, the littles are just so cute :3
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) So true I have one co fronting and my husband said she was being very cute during our movie date hug…
I think we've always acted childish because our mom doesn't notice and I can step up and talk most of the time and sometimes we just don't talk so people don't notice anhthing
just spoke to mum and remembered halfway through talking that i should probably tone down how i talk
she didn’t notice anything
to be fair though i don’t talk that different to ryn
People who ask for alter counts infuriate me. Like why’d ya wanna know I have ‘x’ number of alters?
I mean I do get it to some degree. Especially if they want to be friends, because then they know what they are dealing with in the sense of how many alters will they have to meet and remember.
I know. But someone random who just joined a server asking?
ig they might just not know any better.
i mean idk your situation but personally i wouldn't really mind if i was asked that
some people are just more curious than others and i personally appreciate any questions as long as they're respectful and don't push for answers if denied
Valid, I wouldnt say it upsets me but its like “oh uh okay” 😂 I don’t blame them for being curious but I’ve been asked a couple times and I just give a random guess of how many we have 😭💀
Mhm yeah
how we doing mitosis members (im sorry)
I'm uncomfortable with people asking about specifics of my system unless they know me.
Broad questions are fine but I keep my system very heavily guarded for safety so if someone pushes for info it feels violating
Thats valid
Sometimes I don’t mind the questions but it can get way too much quickly. They don’t understand how intrusive it can be 💀
I had to block this one guy cause he kept referring to alters like they were to be “used” like they were tools, it was fucked😭 I know he was learning but it was just getting too much and he kinda just romanticized DID too 😟👎👎 Me and my friends were like “yeah no you’re getting kicked😭👎”
A lot of my system is either vulnerable (making sharing info dangerous) or has a job/purpose/other trait that needs to be kept hidden to still function and keep us safe
that's so gross I'm sorry that happened to you.
wtf 😦
Yeah uh, that’s dangerous to have around for many reasons
How do you get an alter to front for a surgery recovery??
We are starting to realize that other people’s heels don’t hurt constantly when they stand too long. Wearing shoes and wearing gel insoles don’t help.
Wait that's not normal?
Apparently not
does anyone know of a DID channel that uploads occassionally? I don't want to watch anyone problematic
Cypytid ink? Idk how valid they are just randomly saw them
Damn-
I feel like I'm going crazy. I feel like I have the same name and look EXACTLY like a certain character. But I know NOTHING about them??? No idea if i'm just wrong, if i'm not then why am I like this??
I think you can be an introject of them but not know anything about them. Correct me if I'm wrong someone
I don't get why I would be though
Other than
The Entropy System and The Rings System idk
They aren’t too active though
he said that to one of our middles who holds trauma in that realm 💀💀🙏
✨Nobody wants to front ✨
we literally have so many non human alters. this is insane haha.
We think we might have a trauma holder being hidden from most of us cause someone keeps fronting occasionally in a constant state of panic and responds to a different name than our ‘main’ trauma holder but they also either blend with us a ton or we just can’t hear what they’re thinking
God the pain of my ears is causing me to feel more foggy with my memories due to I can't focus on anything but the stinging in them and it's sending everyone out of wake in my system 😞
hey, so does anyone know how to choose a name, set of pronouns, and gender? i'm new, but im not human so i've never gotten the experience to do those.
Hi guys. Poor host has a double ear infection and is over stressed and in a lot of pain 😞
I know it was so incredibly fucked up
I’d look up a theme you like and find names, pronouns and such to fit that ^_^
we got a few of those, one of our sillies uses three names but one of them is just "41" , sometimes non-traditional names work. Another one of our non-human uses it/its pronouns.
ok, thanks! im a doll, so we can start there!
ooh! i will have to check that out!
(and source is a song called dumb dumb by maize)
we love that song
we do too
:O i love that song :D
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) (and source is a song called dumb dumb by maize)

Feel like a switch will happen tonight because something extremely stressful is happening right now 😢
Hope it gets better ❤️🩹
Thanks me to. We shale see with events
Ofc
Boy having my system reduced to simply "voices in my head" was uh.. sure something.
ew.
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) Boy having my system reduced to simply "voices in my head" was uh.. sure something.
I mean I get it, it's a mental health assessment, it's just asking about my symptoms
But oh boy was it uncomfortable
I just say people in my head and now my psychologist calls them alters but I don't know why I think it was written in our sys journal or something cause it was very random but I refer to them as headmates to him
Can Psychiatrists diagnose DID?
I’ve heard many things about psychiatrists gaslighting those with DID.
Yeah Psychologists are easier than Psychiatrists.
Yup
Is it okay to doubt if I'm a system even though I found proof from when we were a child? (Like I found this notebook from when I was young, and I found a page with 5 different "personalities", listing traits and stuff. And when my friend told us that we may be a system like 4 years ago, our brain felt like it shut down for a week or 2.)
Oh, and the notebook thing was around the time in which body was roughly 7-8 ish. The friend thing was when we were 12.
It's okay to doubt but focus on the proof too
GG @heady hornet, you just advanced to level 4!
alright, thank you
That's actually cool you have proof. The only thing I have proof of is anxiety from when I was 11
I meant to say you're welcome ^^
Yea, I honestly dunno if its good enough proof, but it still slays, Ig lol
*It's good enough proof, on my end. You are completely valid ❤️ /p
I think it's good!
Thank you
Hi! So, I'm a poet, and I'm starting to bring my experiences to the poems that I write, and I'm making a system series. This is what I have so far.
Difference in One
We all may have the same face on the outside
But as they say, its the inside that counts.
For one may be human, another may not be.
Perhaps another doesn't steer the ship
as well as the former.
But we all are valid in all our different forms,
Despite going against societal norms.
I might make a song eventually about system/ DID/OSDD-1 life but idk
This is not one of my favorite poems btw
That’s cool!
Emberly (/sys) loved to write poetry but she’s on holiday at the moment so no poetry right now /nav
That's so cool!!
Ahh I gotchu!!
And thank you to both!!
Ofc!!
Does anyone know how to bring up the possibility of DID to a psychriatrist or psychologist? We've tried inthe past but it's always been denied by them and it makes us feel invalidated
Well for us. We just went, talked about trauma and I just randomly started talking about "the people in my head" and let alters write in our journal where there are also intros. When he tries to say anything along the lines of I made them up because I was lonely (not in a rude way I promise he's nice) I disagree he writes something down then ask why I disagree. I explain and yea. He started calling them alters though. Not sure if an alter wrote that in the journal. Haven't had time to check but if not, then he seems to be catching on. He also talked to another alter physically so there's that
Cool. We're working on a document with alter's introductions on it to show our therapist and hopefully psychologist. Honestly, do you think it would be enough evidence for the psychologist/psychriatrist?
Hi there! Am I able to join this conversation if I’m not diagnosed with this but am very close to someone with it?
I want to better understand
Of course!!
Thank you❣️🥰
It’s interesting to see so far even just the very little I’ve read here so far. So much relatable yet also each so unique.
I'm not diagnosed due to still living within situations, but I feel like as long as your here to help establish good community or for educational reasons, you're chill
I understand! If you want to talk to me about anything, please feel free to DM!
Please lmk if I say something off. I’m still learning and I don’t mean to offend or anything.
GG @placid island, you just advanced to level 2!
I 100% understand!
Ah. Sorta similar with the person I know. But the therapist believed this was the case so wrote a letter to try to get it covered by insurance for a specialist.
TYSM❣️
Ohh! I understand that!
Of course! : D
That's a start they'll need more but that's really good. Apparently a lot need to see a switch too or talk to an alter but not sure
Does anyone know how to bring up the system to a therapist? We're debating on just flat out saying it, but we are open to other options
I wanted to flat out say it last Friday morning but my psych said who is Sandy aka one of my alters and then I told him about her and the others and he got to meet one. He then said yes they are alters especially since I get amnisia, brain fog, blackouts after my eyes blink and my heart races a bunch causing a switch from situations, I get the feeling of am I in a dream or reality, I also find messages from my alters, food made only they eat and drink, I also find myself in places I didn't even know about and can get out of the state days later and hear all my alters talk in my head. I hear my girls and my girls friend. So we talked about stuff like that and it led to not a diagnosis but definitely that I have alters and symptoms of disorders with alters in them
I get that. We're looking forward to moments like that too, where alters can be themself in front of our therapist. I think we're worried about the rejection and potentially finding another therapist who is better equiped to handle DID systems
Thank you guys for reminding me to text my therapist lol
On the subject I'm between therapists but in the process of being supported to reach out for a diagnosis but the UK is pretty annoying and it's not particularly easy to access these things. Though my current therapists are aware I have done a lot of research into it and put a lot of time into working with my system & fully believe me
Unrelated note;
Anyone have tips for seeing people shit talking the source of your introjects? To be clear the criticism is all fair and true but it still feels pretty awful and feels like being rejected by your wonderful community.
Not quite sure how to deal with that emotionally. I almost want to feel guilty but it's not like we chose our sources? They just are what they are.
Just remember that you don't have to change yourself to be likeable. People are going to hate regardless of change or not.
That may actually help our current host with a lot of stuff.
I’ll let them know about this.
Thank you
No problem! We used to struggle with the same thing with our introjects and I love to remind them that they are loved by our system, regardless of their source
What name comes to mind when people see this?
i have no reason for this but jasper was my first thought
XD what’s it with us and having so many connections with the name Jasper
nice!!
one of our protectors names is our great great grandmothers favorite flower but we didn’t know that until after and it feels so intentional now
That’s cool
That's so cool!
The Denial that hit after reading this-
Knowing we have a lot of amnesia just emotional amnesia mostly and I basically can't leave front as host so I keep memories and it feels like I'm there when other alters are fronting but I'm not controlling the body fully but as I found out in my psychologists office I usually have physical control whole alters control the thoughts at front and the mouth but damn the questions of faking hit different (not blaming anyone here. Just sharing)
eating an ice lolly while co-con has become a mild challenge because i bite them and fran doesn’t like that because it’s too cold but i don’t like the sound of eating it any other way so i gotta bite it so we’re just going back and forth between what we wanna do. 😭 /lh
woah
first time we've had someone specific front in a dream and have it be obvious
that's weird XD /neu-pos
well- semi obvious 😭
Not weird to me. It's like they were sending you a message of something
Mine do that a lot
Especially now as we're hurting but also hungry and tired
Fair
I always get so jealous when I read BL manga’s because I’m not a ‘real’ boy. I get so jealous a lot.
It’s like why couldn’t I look like a boy? Why couldn’t I have been born one?
The physical dysphoria gets strong sometimes. I don’t usually notice it too much but some days it hits hard. How much I wish I was a girly boy and not a boyish girl.
Not a vent but I figured system friends might understand better than most here.
bro fr tho 😭
wish shapeshifting was a thing
hiiiiii
Haven’t been active much. Hoping to set a lot of stuff right. Wherever we can really.
Hope you all are doing ok TCC
Sorry we don’t talk much anymore
fair and we're doing good :D
That’s good!
don't be sorry for that it's not like we've been talking in the private server either XD /lh /g
grounding by singing is very fun.
I agree
it didn’t work very well haha.
probably would have in other circumstances, but not today. /lh /nav
it does work. everyone’s just. also singing with me-
Yeah lmfao
Yes, it really is!
it works but not when, like, you require the assistance of others. i’m so insightful.
i do this all the time
Are you alright?
\yeah we're fine lol just feel super tired cuz of it but not much else luckily :3
It's been quiet again. The communication was good while it lasted
we have an introject based on someone on social medias but they don't really make themselves known because of that fact, how can we help them feel less guilty about it and make them more comfortable? (and is it immoral to use that person as their proxy avatar? they'd like to do that but feel a bit scared of judgement so some feedback might help.)
There's always the possible of judgment but it's very important to remember introjects are not their source. Even if they are extremely similar they are not the source itself. You don't choose who you have introjects of, it just happens.
Short answer: use the proxy if you want to. Only moral issue I would say is if someone asked if you're that person that you should fully explain
Which I'm sure you would
thank you for the reply! /gen
Ofc! We also have "controversial" introjects so I totally understand the anxiety. If you want to rant or talk about it my dms are open :)
Does anyone else dissociate and aren’t able to like think about anything, like your inner monologue and ability to picture things just vanishes?
(Afterwards being like “Oh, I’m still here, what the heck just happened.”)
But yet you have normal bouts of dissociation that has switches and innerworld movements besides that.
I’m having trouble thinking if it’s random bouts of dissociation or if it’s mild Absence Seizures. I already know I seem to get cluster absence seizures on rare occasions with high intense stress.
I now own the longest straight fronting time of 8.5 days 😭
\ we have the same issue here! it’s been days and we don’t know how to deal with it.
you could try grounding methods, mindfullness, some physical activity and go out taking some fresh air. orr trying to ground each alter when there’s switches, with pos triggers.
hoping this helps and sorry if not ^^’ (-millie)
poor gail went 4 months
Here’s our longest (a gatekeeper lmao)
Damn
We once had someone front for around 7 months straight ;-;
Relatable, we had one year
Oof, I'm sorry /gen
It’s alright, 7 months sounds intense too dude
Yeaa
Harmony cosplayed me and accidentally front triggered me because she got it wrong at first 😭
Kinda helps I guess.
Feel like that was dramatic and uncalled for. All I said was oh we haven't had a new alter in ages. Thank god we've been okay and not finding people.
Famous last words...
New alter...😭
idk if im me or not
i feel like me but also not 100%
then again i haven't fronted in forever (idk how long it's actually been) so maybe im just not used to myself
idk why im here tho 😭
(assuming im actually me)
literally just looked at my old msgs and it's become very obvious that i tend to be very confused about myself and doubting my existence/frontingness
plus im kinda ranting rn which is smth i used to do 💀
LMFAO NO WAY "and i feel so confused about myself all the time and everytime i change just slightly or see myself in a different way to how i think the "past" me was like i get confused about all these things like, am i me? am i stealing someone's identity? am i faking??? am i masking so much that i think i'm someone i'm not??"
bruh im literally so me
kinda crazy
anyway rant over (for now)
this feels weird
whatever
i always feel weird
so maybe that makes me not feeling weird
nvm
bruh what if im not me tho
like i kinda sound like how we've been talking the past few days
so what if im not me but im acvtually just really similar
💀 im scared what if im stealing my identity
wtv
i already said this before idk why im overhtinking it again 💀
why do i sound mean tho
oh nvm apparently im just bad at expressing myself 😭
slay ig
lmao maybe this is why im not the host anymore 😭
If u need someone to talk to or rant to my DM’s are open dude
thank uu 💜 i probably wont cuz scary but i appreciate the offer /gen
(not saying ur scary i just meant socializing is scary 😭 and ik im literally ranting to like 3058290568 people rn but uh... its different i swear- /sil)
Anyone have nonhuman alters that are never comfy within the body? If so, how do you make them more comfortable? (I know a little bit on how to help people who are different ages/ gender than the body, but I don't know how to help when they're non-human.)
We use makeup to recreate subtly what they’re missing effectively.
Like we did a gothic look for Maya, who’s a demonic alter, and it seemed to help her
Making any mirrors easy to cover is a pretty simple one that spans across all of them
kinda my little alter Sandy is part cat
There’s a few things you can do ofc, dress with accessories that mimic the things they have.
I’m personally nonhuman but I generally forget about it. Sometimes body dysphoria hits hard.
Thank you so much, all, for the tips!!
any tips on how to tell if you can’t remember things because of brain fog or another issue? i’m starting to wonder if i might be a system
do research on different things and see what you relate to the most. it could be multiple things or just one. i hope you figure it out.

i want to bring it up with my psychiatrist but she’s already recommended me for like 3 outpatient treatments and i feel like she’s tired of me
I think we just switched hosts-?
Honestly a psychiatrist+psychologist/any kind of doctor, are there to serve you, you do not serve them.
i know. i just get really anxious about it now because i had a doctor tell me everything was in my head for years until i switched and my new doctor believed me.
i usually have pretty bad social anxiety too i kinda thought i would never convince myself to talk in this server 💀

I'm sorry if I'm being a bit obnoxious, but I think we just switched hosts and there was a split-
i saw the message i just don’t really know how to respond to that. /lh
I'm like actually hoping that it wasn't the former(?) host that split because they identified the most with the body /nav
do you know anything about you right now? or how we could help?
Its okay, I didn't expect responses
I'm okay, I just wanna know how to stop the headache that the split is bringing 👍
i have chronic migraines. i think ice water and peppermint usually help?

simply plural group organising is going well.
i don’t know why i did a peach, i just felt like it, it looks amazing.
It slays! /gen
it’s funny, because none of the members of that group are entirely comfortable (gender wise) being called bro haha.
making everyone uncomfortable is equally as accessible as making everyone comfortable i guess
heh.
Yeah. I’m sorry you’ve gone through gaslighting about it
Omg 😂
The names are a mood
Instead of “the bros!” I read “The bread”
it’s the personal section, it’s all the stupid names i give groups lol.
i like that.. might steal it..

emery was showing off its group names. carson doesn’t approve i think
but i’m sure emery is still a lovely thing and or person
I have avoided most times to talk in here as I don’t feel comfortable with my source self. I do like the empire and doing what I do for a living… but seeing what I’d done… scares me sometimes. Imprints in the brain. Like I’m going mad. /nav
I figure I should speak just to let others with a bad source, know they aren’t alone in that… even if you have the same..habits, or not.
youre still a good person and or thing ❤️
Entirely. Remembering you aren’t entirely your source can help you know better choices can now be made. Even if you are closely tied to something not good.
carson’s disapproval is because of an inside joke within the system i think. /info
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) emery was showing off its group names. carson doesn’t approve i think

At least an age role and what you mostly know would help and what you want to have access to.
yeah

Reason: ignoring people who say that something you do on purpose makes them uncomfortable
can someone help me with a name? /nf
i’m not really sure what i want, i just want a name.

thank you.

Pretty cool name, we had someone consider it too :)
she’ll probably change it tomorrow.
Ayo we once had a caretaker named Nova!!
ran (nickname for nova, don’t ask) isn’t very good at sticking with things. including in front. /t /lh
I understand that
i feel very 🧍 in this conversation because i have no idea what i’m doing. 😭 /lh
i’m just here.
Hiii
Alive to say the least. -Val
carson was wondering if anyone else speaks/whispers to themselves out loud like. when they are in front. because everyone (except me) seems to do it a lot. and he was wondering. and then he left- because i think he forgot but i somehow remember- anyways. not the point. i. can’t think-
if that made no sense then i can clarify what i mean when i can think better-
Well, talking to yourself is normal, however not everyone does.
Yes we do way too much
My littles do that more then Astrid she is the quiet behind the seens type
i have an explanation but i don’t know how to word it
more like we
because it’s not my explanation
or possible explanation
Yup! Its the primary form of communication for us, since our system sucks at communication
i think it might be a form of communication for us. i’m not sure though, i haven’t spent a lot of time at front.
Definitely! not just for communication but for like just functioning in general- like we zone out or get distracted a lot so we talk to ourselves to keep us back on track, kind of like narrating what we're doing /info
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) carson was wondering if anyone else speaks/whispers to themselves out loud like. when they are in fr…
Are there any outside activities to do with systemmates that’ll improve the want to communicate?
I have a question! Do alters ever switch in the discord? If so how do I know who I’m talking to? I know about DID but like talking to a system online kinda confuses me because I cant see that something happened. Also how often do different alters come out in a day? Could you go an entire day with only one person in the body? I watch videos and stuff about systems but I've never met one so I don't really understand from experience what happens
On Discord we use a think called Pluralkit, to show who is fronting or we tag it like so;
-Seven (as an example)
It varies from system to system who is active.
Yes being an entire day or week or month or year being front is called being frontstuck
Does pluralkit change you profile name or something
What is it like for you? /nf
Yeah. Profile name and profile picture. It creates a proxy or a double of it that replaces your messages with the proxy.
it doesn't change the actual account but it does make a seperate profile (not an actual account)
(as an example, if u click on this proxy's profile nothing really comes up cuz its not an actual "account", also the APP thing next to the name)
For us it varies. We have a large system so it’s hard for communication. As well we have our innerworld blocked off visually so we can’t see it but instead feel it there. Most of us have the same experiences believe.
Was that a way of saying you don't know?
no it's their way of saying it varies 😭 /lh
We also don’t have much internal communication and we usually don’t hear each other all that much nor communicate. There’s a lot of amnesia barriers but that seems to lessen when a relevant memory is needed to be brought up because of how we cope with our amnesia.
Lmao
It’s rough for us but it’s something that we don’t tend to think much about. Though when we do it generally causes minor headaches
it really does depend on the system though
there are systems with no amnesia, lots of amnesia, a few alters, many alters, good communication, bad communication, frequent switches, very rarely switch, etc etc
so you can never really look at systems as a whole in just one way
Yep!
That’s a better explanation
:3
Can you use the pluralkit to demo what it looks like when using or is that not allowed?
Also thank you for indulging in my questions it's quite complicated to understand ♥️
What do you mean?
i mean i'd say sure, if you wanna be careful about it you can just make your own server and do it in there but obviously just don't use it after that
Yeah what TCC said. It’s for system use only cause it’s a safe space. Lots of people use it for characters and roleplaying though 💀
Which is just morally wrong
Oh okay I'm sorry
(personally if it's in a private server specifically for roleplaying i don't think it's a big deal; but in here it's definitely not the use for it)
(i'm not gonna get into that arguement though XD /lh)
I agree. But with that it’s different scenarios for sure
I’m not arguing. 😌
heh, just making sure XD
Sorry if it seemed like I was. I was agreeing lol
Good good 👍🏻😎

It's time to go..
It's 10: 50 pm
Mara. You, are really pretty.
Hey random question what’s your guys stance on people who say they’re an endogenic system
(They piss me off but I’m tryna word the question in a neutral way)
prettu sure you and i have talked about it but idk what i said so i agree with you that i dont like them
lol
I don't like them. They also piss me off
If they’re gonna be a ‘system’ they can’t use DID/OSDD because they didn’t form the dissociative barriers needed as a child
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) Hey random question what’s your guys stance on people who say they’re an endogenic system
(They piss…
I'm not going to get into the biology because we all already know that but there is one perspective that helps me to take it easier:
Amnesia. Some systems will experience amnesia and denial so severe that they are completely unaware of any trauma leading them to believe they are endogenic when they are, in fact, not.
Yeah that’s my one perspective that makes me focus on just not interacting with them rather than being rude
I personally do not have the capacity to interact with them in any way that is not cruel so I choose to block and ignore. It does not help anyone to argue
Yeah
Yea fhats fair
Well it's proven that it's impossible for a system to form without trauma, as well as it cannot form after 6 - 9 years of age (roughly). It's more likely they have MADD and/or a similar disorder often is often misdiagnosed as DID/OSDD, such as OCD, panic disorder, or other dissociative disorders. OR, they're just people pretending to be a system.
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) Hey random question what’s your guys stance on people who say they’re an endogenic system
(They piss…
Yeah that’s what I think as well
Yea that makes sense
If they got misdiagnosed, I wouldn't be pissed as much as them thinking being a system is "fun" and "unique" after what they saw on social media. /srs
Yeah
Yea
Imma go eep now! Gn, all! Love you guys!! /p
Byeeee
i just want to say that you can’t always see that a switch has happened when talking to someone irl. it can be very quick and very subtle and/or something easily hidden. i get your point but also just keep this in mind. /nm
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) I have a question! Do alters ever switch in the discord? If so how do I know who I’m talking to? I k…
Endo are not valid
Systems are created by trauma only.
Tysm! Not exactly a face claim as I identify with the body but more of my personality
Always found it weird and just straight up dumb people go around paying they have a trauma based disorder with no trauma. An ex friend claimed to be one which I tried to convince her that it was a harmful label but I gave up and decided to let it go but then started invalidating trauma so I was like nope and got the he'll outta there. Her argument was that mental health issues caused it and I inquired about possible trauma she was missing but there is nothing other than happiness and then anxiety from the life story she told me bit I still won't judge
Basically they are not valid
Wow so kinda like me with that Ace person I told you about. People really need to not fake disorders it's so messed up
Yeah
That’s still cool!
Wait what?
An Ace person faking being ace?
No that is their name
Ig so lol
Ohhh XD
Yeah
Very overstimulated on the bus and my littles are screaming let me out. This is one interesting time for us
we had an interesting experience in a stationary shop today, there were cute pencil holders and notebooks and the younger ones got a little excited.
Oop
I got my littles to sleep so it's a bit quieter right now
But someone is yelling on the bus so hoping it doesn't wake them up
Having separation anxiety is an interesting experience being an adult. Especially with my mom.
It’s not easy. Flipping between not wanting anything to do with her but also not wanting to leave her side in fear of losing her again.
The life of a Traumagenic system with Quiet BPD is utter chaos.
This is so real
I felt that
Can you please elaborate?? Sorry, I didn't quite understand!! /nm /lh
DissociaDID is a channel based on educating people about DID, and I sent a video by them in the #📷pics-and-videos channel but someone said she spread misinformation before and I just want to know what it was
Ohh, that makes sense. I personally don't know anything about DissociaDID so I cant help, I'm sorry!
Oh that's fine
If you know who said she spread misinformation, maybe you can ask them? /nf
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) Oh that's fine
Good idea
Should I use my proxy when I talk here? I feel like I want to but just want other opinions cause why not
totally unrelated but related to your misunderstanding; i had a friend who said they were ace but then she apparently told my other friend (it was a friend group of three including me, also they were dating at the time i aint gonna get into that mess tho) that she didn't actually think she was and that being ace isnt real 💀
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) An Ace person faking being ace?
wrong proxy
jumpscare 😭
also the other friend in question is ace so 😬
i was like damn out of ALL people 😭
god, i have so many stories about that girl it's honestly insane 🤣
Oml I’m sorry
I'm Ace lol
But the problem is idm either way but also kinda wanna use my proxy but I find it annoying sometimes so I probably just wouldn't use autoproxy but I just wanna hear others opinions. Kinda like a poll
I have the perms to but am I allowed to make a poll?
i vote do it and see if stan yells at you
I did it
Up to you honestly. No one can force you but we can simply encourage you to do what makes you happy.
I honestly don't mind. I'm really really indecisive so I ask for opinions instead because it would take at least a month for me to decide lol
As long as it helps you in the long run.
A physical bullet-journal-like pro’s and con’s list may help too
Yea bit I'm kinda not home and also just don't have that motivation right now
The poll said yes so imma use it
Hi guys
So I'm looking for a YouTube channel that can educate me better on DID
Just wondering if you guys know any good ones
Have a look at multiplicity and me
They already fused though
their videos from before are still there?
Doesn't mean the content doesn't exist or is wrong?
we watched a lot of the rings system too.
It means they aren't a system anymore
Oh ok
False. Their content from before is still valid
True
Don't come asking for advice and then bicker about a subject when you don't know anything about it
What?
I agree with Alex on that one. Multiplicity and Me seems to be good. I don’t mind their/her content.
they are an OSDD-1b system so it’ll be different from DID.
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) Oh ok
Oh ok
GG @dusky solstice, you just advanced to level 21!
Thank you for letting me know that
you can see it on their youtube channel and they say it kinda frequently (i think) but just before you start assuming DID systems are the same. if you want to do research on DID alone then i wouldn’t watch their videos because it might get confusing.
I don’t think we’ve ever said this but helping people figure out they are systems is a healing feeling. It’s like “I can help those who are struggling! Yay!” But I mean prob going to to help more when we finally fulfill the psychologist dream.
Like we’ve helped 4 (maybe 5?) systems figure it out, and that to us is amazing as heck.
Should I use my proxy when talking here instead of base account?

Yes
Nice!
I am non binary so I use they/them pronouns so when I say that I don't get any confusing looks
What does that have to do with this forum? /gq
that was the original question!
they also have the alters tag. so they may be a host or just a frequent fronter
Wait wait I'm genuinely confused the original question? /gq
Adding on, DID/OSDD-1 is very individualized. It definitley depends on the person for how it affects them /lh /info
GG @hollow orchid, you just advanced to level 15!
for this forum. if you scroll all the way to the top it was about using plural pronouns in front of singlets
OHH okay okay thank you!! Sorry for the confusion
It's not the easiest thing to talk about. I feel like I will be judged or get in trouble with the others if I do.
this is a safe space and you can share as much or as little are you’re comfortable with 🩷
i’m proud of you and happy you’re here
Well I mean, as long as everyone is respectful about each other’s experiences, I see nothing wrong.
It is difficult to know if you’ll be accepted for who you are or not. But it’s not your fault if others are insecure about your experiences. Though there always must be rationality but most new things don’t sound rational anyway.
The only thing that’s not allowed here I think is Endogenic systems (purposefully self-created systems)
But honestly. No one should be afraid to be who they are unless they are dragging others under them to do it.
That being said others opinions only matter when it’s on something that holds you back and doesn’t lift you up.
Friend of mine accidentally called Zero (non human alter) a dog (trigger) and he felt so bad he asked to write an apology in the system journal :')
XD Oop. As long as he actually feels sorry for things.
oh shit😭 im glad he apologized.

hey guys I get there is some frustration but let's try to keep everything nice :)
(not to anyone specific btw just in general for everyone)
Were there other messages? I feel like we're missing context /nf
Hello :)
Hey! How are you??
Hi there!!^^ I'm okay and you? :)
I'm doing pretty good :) just actually effectively communicated with someone instead of shutting down and switching and that was such a huge thing for us
Oh that is unfortunate, also thank you!
Wooo! Lookit you go!
It’s hard to do at first but it gets easier.
Oh cool! That's good to hear! We're proud of you! :DD
Thank you guys! I hope it gets easier because that was actually very very hard 😭
We'll be more stable when we move in with our mom I know that for sure and that's happening this week hopsefully!
It does! We used to be extremely shy and mostly nonverbal as a kid, but over time and self reflection and being positively encouraged by others, it’s helped.
You're welcome! :) And oh I see! That sounds good at least :)
You're doing great! :)
Ahhh I'm so glad it gets easier because if it's that hard I would almost prefer just shutting down 😭 /nav I'm so proud of the progress you guys have made!!
It’s learning to not fear speaking what you feel and being listened to contently and with curiosity instead of being shut down by others.
It does get a lot easier when you build up the courage hiding within you
You’ll get there! I believe in you!
I think our biggest thing right now is getting over the feeling that we are going to hurt others and they are going to leave us for it, and we understand why we feel that way and that we have to work on it in therapy
Thank you both!
It’s taken a lot to be able to advocate and articulate without resorting to overwhelmed shouting or just shutting down and hiding.
You're so welcome! ^u^
Valid valid, I'm also working on that in therapy as well ^u^
Oh for sure we completely understand that!! It's so amazing that you've been able to do that!!
You're both doing amazing :)
I wish you luck! I'm proud of you for realizing that is something to work on!! :)
Thank you so much!!^u^ I wish you luck as well!
Tip for communication!
Using “I feel this way when you [Action/Word]” statements. It helps a lot! Whether in a positive or negative situation.
Can you give an example? /gq /nf
Positive:
“I feel happy when you ask questions in order to understand me, makes me feel understood and appreciated”
Negative:
“I feel overwhelmed when you ask me all these questions all at once, I’d appreciate it if maybe I could have a pause in between so I can process and properly respond. You deserve an answer, but I need time to think as I have a lot on my plate right now.”
GG @peak sierra, you just advanced to level 39!
Pffft I leveled up! Almost to 40.
Wooo! :D
Ohhh thank you so much!! That actually is incredibly helpful
No problem! It can be used in many different examples! I just figured it’d help if I gave a neurodiverse example too. :3
Yes thank you!!
We're about to have a system meeting over food 😅 /neu
Oh dear 😅
It went well!! /gen
yay!
Ah, must meet in the round table for the things that matter most, namingly food 😎 :p /silly
Deciding what to eat is hard though ;v;
Yeahh : D
once someone ate my birthday dinner at a restaurant I wanted to go to but someone else fronted but its okay I got the good leftovers of our dinner😎
someone btw meaning system
in the system
theres a few of us who hate certain foods while others love it
maisie likes coffee i think. and i think they are the only one who likes the taste coffee.
ketchup was another one, ryn likes ketchup but i (nova) don’t. so when asked if we wanted ketchup today there was a 10 second thinking period of what do we do. (opted for no ketchup.)
Meanie sysmate :p XD /silly
At least you got some which is good!
We have an alter who in source likes coffee but doesn’t in our sys and instead likes green tea
Yeah🤣 Tbf he was freshly new but I wouldn’t put it besides the others to either lolol, I get it though its not like they had a choice since they had to mask lol
It*
they couldn’t figure out why i started fronting
they are literally listening to my playlist
like what do you expect to happen
we have a protecter who drinks milk by itself and i HATE that stuff 😭😭😭

her playlist is good, i’ll be stealing some songs for my own if i make one.
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) they are literally listening to my playlist
O - O
I just spaced, heard a song at full volume iw.
And then couldn’t remember what I was doing before I got to my mat.
that's crazy
Heck I don’t even know who I am or other memories I have.
I know I’m in a shelter that much.
But oopsies. Amnesia go brrrrrr.
was it a good song tho /hj
Yeah it’s a song by ghost and pals
We hear it a lot apparently?
Who’s we though…….
Hol up.
I think I know but I also have a headache.
Percent signs would be fun iris shapes.
A bit interesting but cool
i just scared myself with my own accent
lmao XD
That reminds me of the quote “||Boom! orange juice!||” by Bo Burnham
i have no idea what that means but yes it is that
I kinda like the name Killian
Should I?
I’m unsure, what’d go for a blue haired enby boy?
lmao we agree its so suprising, esp for our alters with “accents” only like two but still
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) That reminds me of the quote “||Boom! orange juice!||” by Bo Burnham
hell yeah
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) I kinda like the name Killian

Yess
Hear me out. What if I'm faking and subconsciously made people up in my head?..
we are half german and our late grandmother was born in germany along with my father so one of our alters formed with a german accent 🤣
I like Killian but strangely also like the name Billie 😂 I think it’s cause of Billie Eilish or something else.
Not possible unless if its another condition then again sounds more a question for a therapist, but you can’t intentionally fake
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) Hear me out. What if I'm faking and subconsciously made people up in my head?..
(Daily denial)
Oh..
Makes sense, our great and great great grandparents were Scottish. Well one part of them. Mostly British.
How do I know that..
You arent faking
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) Oh..
Lmao

I agree with Blake I think. Not something you can fake easily.
You generally know fully when you are faking.
...
I’m glad I know some things about us. 🙂
I hear someone talking to me but it sounds far away.
What if...Well my psychologist doesn't seem to be entertaining the idea no matter how much I speak about it but I'm not consciously faking anything
That’s not your doing
The psychologist probably thinks systems aren’t real
However I would look into a different psychologist if they still won’t listen.
You can tell them if they won’t tell you what it is then you are finding a new one who can actually help you.
He's really good otherwise and he didn't outright dismiss me I think I just need to be more clear. I'll try that and see but I think even if not I'd still keep him cause he's really helpful otherwise and maybe in the future try and find other help
omg I have done that before and it freaks me out
Because doctors of any sort work for the patients. Not the patients work for the doctor
Ikr!
It seems to have subsided but I feel super weird.
makes me feel like i was yelled at
I’m sorry it makes you feel that way.
Hm, maybe that is sort of similar to how I feel.
Yea I guess maybe I'm impatient. I'll just wait and see cause so far no diagnosis of anything (which I don't expect so soon). I think I should just be more patient cause he's truly been the best psychologist I've met
I feel like I’m not Seven but I just ‘know’ certain bits. Subconscious go brrrr I guess.
Maybe. But remember you deserve to be heard. Maybe speak to the psychologist about your concerns though
It’s best to have help with your denial than living in constant stress.
I wrote it down in the system journal that I let him read everytime I go so he'll see (I prefer not to talk about certain stuff so i write it)
I see. That’ll work hopefully!
I know it’s hard. I believe in you.
(off topic but kinda on topic) what do people use system journals for?
I use mine for intros and I have an emotion wheel so new alters can identify emotions and I have ways to ground in there and also just to write down when dissociating and stuff like that
I don’t know, notes to each other, notes on themselves like bio’s etc.
I can only guess. But I think it works that way. Only things that make sense. Dissociation too and venting.
We haven’t used our newer one yet. Though we got self help journals, from what I can recall.
I was telling all of this to my best friend (Denial) He's apart of a system too btw. Apparently if I can't make them disappear then I did make them? Interesting
…… no?
So uh we found out that we have yet another machine related alter 😭
And its reminding us of a few things /neg /nav
Whether you can or can’t. Generally you can’t make your alters, though you can kind of dictate what they become a little, by things you hear or see.
That's what was meant by that 🤨
Fun….. /sarc
You know you have ||dehumanization|| trauma when….
Oh, ok then. Just the way you said it was a little confusing. Sorry.
All good I talk weird lol 😭
Yeah, we figured that out the hard way
Nah it’s ok should’ve clarified, but all’s good
So did we apparently
👍
GG @heady hornet, you just advanced to level 6!
Woo! Lookit you go! Lol
I don't remember the trauma so I'm going to have to ask the others abt it
*Maybe not. Idk if I wanna know
As long as you're safe doing so
I learned this the hard way-
Nor do I and I feel I shouldn’t go digging.
Pressure headache if I try to think hard.
Yeah do make sure you are safe.
Im probably not going to go digging for it, I will ask the new mechanical alter who they are though, mb what their role is
Good luck!
I need to figure that out too.
I feel spacey but not much
Good luck to both of ya
Thank you Mara.
I just did a stupid
I took 2 Tums for acid reflux then opened a mtn dew
Tums are chewables that get rid of high stomach acid by balancing the PH of the acid.
I took 2 then started drinking something acidic.
Oh yikes!! I am so sorry!!
Tums and Alke-seltzer’s are bases. When added to acid it counters it.
Ah, don’t be. I did a dumb I shall deal with the consequences. 💀
I would ask why, but sure, why not. 🫂🫂
Hugs are fun.
No no not what I meant. 🥺
I just mean that I’m not in pain atm so I’m ok. I appreciate the comfort though, and I seem to like hugs so I accept hugs. /lh-gen
I’m sorry if that made you feel your effort wasn’t appreciated. That’s not what I meant at all. 😢
I just thought I didn’t need comfort in the moment. Sorry Starrii
oh dear, im sorry 🥺 anxiety is kicking my behind today
i didn't mean to upset you
gahhhh
also hi duck lord
When you have more than two anxious beans in a chat… oopsies.
Anyways it’s ok Bunnii I promise.
we forget how many damn of those we have and why until this shows up (too many!!)
[Reply to:](#1151243634876891246 message) Fun….. /sarc
You know you have ||dehumanization|| trauma when….
I mean we have a whole level of animatronic alters I believe. NPC’s mostly, as far as I’ve heard?
shoutout to the alter whos a mix of species from lab stuff
we all know exactly why they exist 💀
Also the body is wired on caffeine
We have had 3 coffee’s, a quarter to about half a DrP and now the mtn dew…. All have caffeine
oh lord
we found out the hard way we cant have any more coffee or caffeine
under any circumstance
Oh hey our host is that.
Though they switch between that and human.
(Not me? Who? What?)
