We do not know everything about our system. Some headmates aren't "fully-formed" yet, or we simply haven't "uncovered" missing information. Do not expect all of us to know everything.
That being said, thank you for reading! Tags will be under this image.
A system is a collection of alters. Alters are chronically dissociated self states, with different neurological pathways that often are accompanied by a varying degree of amnesia. Dissociation is caused by stress/trauma. Alters are a byproduct of dissociating from trauma. You can’t dissociate from trauma you do not have. You cannot dissociate without trauma. You cannot have alters without trauma. You cannot have a system without alters.
You cannot be a system without trauma.
Do you have to know about the trauma ? No. Does it have to be a certain type of trauma ? No. Does it need to be a certain severity ? No. It just needs to have occurred during critical developmental period of the brain. Before the ego states have stitched together, it must be chronic, and beyond the child’s stress threshold, otherwise it will not disrupt the developmental growth. This is different for everyone. The reason trauma cannot be listed as a diagnostic criteria, is because there is no “xyz trauma that causes dissociative disorders”. It’s completely unique to each person suffering from the disorder. And in often cases, the person suffering from the disorder isn’t aware of their trauma. That’s the point of the disorder. This does not mean you don’t need trauma to suffer from a dissociative disorder. Systems are byproducts of dissociative disorders, you cannot be a byproduct of a disorder you do not have.
Endos are not systems. What do I mean by this? I mean that, by definition, that term is not suited for them, and is not meant to describe them. Just like kinning doesn’t mean you’re a system, just like roleplaying doesn’t mean you’re a system, just like religious practises such as tulpamancy isn’t a system. You are perfectly free to do whatever you please, truly. But do not compare it to being a system. You do not share our experiences. You are a different community entirely, and that’s ok.
But please, for the love of god, stop invading our community, and stop spreading misinformation about an already stigmatised and misunderstood disorder.
I understand if you didn’t know better. But please, educate yourself, and stop spreading this misinformation. Being a system isn’t an identity. It’s not a label. And please, stop comparing it to being queer. This is a mental illness. Being queer is not a mental illness.
Maybe this take is a flop but tbh I'm a bit tired of everyone always insisting so much, over and over again, about how your trauma needs to be so severe and awful in order to develop a cdd. Like, I'm no mental health professional, but I think what matters most is how the brain reacted to said trauma rather than what it was, and focusing so much on how it needs to have been super awful to the point you need to have actually almost died a couple of times (actual thing I've seen people say) kinda just. Makes it so people get more and more obsessed about finding out what the hell happened and go digging up trauma instead of actually healing and trying to live their life.
Whoever the hell just sent me rape threats in my inbox under the guise of another person, GO FUCK YOURSELF.
I don't give a shit what your cause is. I don't give a fuck what you "reasoning" is. I don't care if this person is problematic, you're actively harming others by targeting innocent people, calling them slurs and bringing up possible triggers. Keep your petty bullshit to YOURSELF.
Not to mention, targeting someone you KNOW has mental illnesses? Weird as hell. Fuck you, go get a life. You're not doing any good by "framing" this person, you just want an excuse to say horrid things to people without real repercussions
You're not slick. You think I wouldn't notice something is up when you turn on anon JUST to tag someone? Yea, I know that's not you, otherwise you would've left anonymous off, fucking COWARD.
Where the hell are all the OSDD-1a systems. Where are you guys. I know people have this disorder but why do we never see them. Are they like, a rare shiny type?? WHERE ARE YOU??
THIS. We have so many fights. I sometimes hate our protector. Sometimes our protector hates us. Sometimes I wish they were fake, or I TELL them they're fake because I feel like a "poser" or a "larp" whatever the hell people say anymore. CDDs aren't always sunshine and rainbows. Systems can for sure have good moments and function well, but i wish we got more rep for the bad parts of systemhood sometimes!!
I automatically take people less seriously the second I hear them call someone who may or may not just so happen to be a bad person/a little self-centered a "narcissist" because...c'mon. Let's be real here.
hey so actually being seawingkin/riverclan(cat)kin/andthatonewatertribefromavatarkin DOESN'T HELP THE SYSTEM. We're gonna need to know more than that. You can't just be here to steal control of the body everytime we go swimming.
