@bean-system
Hi, a little introduction! We go by Beans or Corbin pronouns are he/they/xe
We became aware that we are a system about 9 months ago. We are a fairly large system and there are definitely parts who will not be active on here. We do not interact with endos, tulpas, or fake claimers. We’d love to make new friends!!!
Follows from @7h3ratking
When headmates are fighting in-sys but none of you look normal so it just looks like this
Yeah basically
Alter introducing themself to the host, who just learned they're plural: this *gestures to self* is a headmate.
Host: dear God.
Alter: *gesturing to the others* there's more.
Host: no
Alter: *gesturing to sub-system alter* It contains a headmate.
Host: dear God.
Alter: this *gesturing to an alter with wings and large antlers* is a headmate
Host: deer god
excuse me I wasn't "staring into space" or "not paying attention", I was talking to my head buddy the one I share body with. give us some privacy, we're judging people over here and bickering over dinner ideas
god forbid a woman is boring and a low achiever and likes to drink
So we definitely need more positive representation of DID, but you know what would be funny? Mildly inconvenient representation of DID.
Oh the world is ending and you need to know about this one specific thing? Yeah I have a guy for that but he doesn't feel like fronting right now
Sorry what's happening rn is this the bad guy? Yeah I just switched in idk what's going on
I know you're dating one alter but we're currently co-con with another alter who hates you so idk how I'm feeling rn
And just who do i think I am? It's funny you should ask that I actually don't know right now
Wait I just remembered this. here u go :3
honourable mention
It’s 2025 and we’re still being weird about introjects and whether or not their partners are “acceptable” to fandoms? It hasn’t happened to me personally ever since the whole “you represent your sources and they don’t want to be shipped” in 2020 but unfortunately I’ve seen it and have had friends be? Weird about us + our psys having “matching” introjects that are dating/are commonly shipped like. What?
In a similar vein uh. Liking an alters source doesn’t give you permission to sexualize them / ignore their boundaries under the guise of “oh I just meant your source”. Still fucking weird. Seen this mostly with art of alters :/
I'm sitting down to read my journal and figure out what the fuck I've been up to for the last few weeks. I'm looking forward to filling in the gaps.
What if all I want for my birthday is to crash tf out
DID IS NOT RARE DID IS NOT RARE DID IS NOT RARE DID IS NOT RARE DID IS NOT-
DID is (approximately) as common as autism; 1-2% of the human population have it. That means every 100 people you meet, one or two of them are likely to be autistic, and one or two of them will likely have DID. This means that, statistically, you will meet up to 100 systems across your life (and that’s only the ones from DID!) And that’s just based off the average number of people you meet (10000); you will likely see significantly more!
DID is not rare, and even if you don’t have it, someone you know likely does.
They may even have an autistic friend that you can meet.
It's such a good reminder that DID is way more common then people think. That learning about it is good because like people with other conditions it's good to be prepared to be gentle with people from all walks of life.
I'll add a few things I know from therapy and reading. Just a heads up, I talk only about traumagenic dissociative disorders because that's what I know, that doesn't mean I don't acknowledge the existence of other forms of plurality and system origins, I'm just not able to talk about it.
According to my psychiatrist, who is not specialized in DID but in trauma disorders, DID/OSDD/pDID and other forms of traumagenic dissociative disorders are present in between 1 to 2% of the population.
It doesn't need to stem from "extreme" trauma but from repeated trauma mostly, no matter the severity of it. Things as "mundane" as loneliness or emotional neglect can cause it because it is most and foremost a coping mechanism. If you are more enclined to dissociate to cope, you are more enclined to develop DID even from "mild" experiences. As shown in the book "The Body Keeps The Score" about PTSD, two people can experience the exact same traumatic event and one is going to dissociate to cope, while the other will not.
That's why some people will go through extreme trauma and not develop any dissociative disorders, while some others will experience milder experiences and develop DID/OSDD. It's kind of a matter of how your brain responds to things more than the events itselves.
Still, according to my psychiatrist, the issue with DID/OSDD, etc, is that it is WILDLY underdiagnosed. People love to say that "everybody has DID," but in fact, psychiatrists are absolutely not trained to diagnose these disorders. My therapist told me that she had to educate herself and that she wouldn't have even thought of doing it if she wasn't specialized in trauma disorders. They don't have any classes about it in school, or barely so, and most of them don't have any tools to diagnose nor treat these disorders. So, the people who are the most likely to actually get diagnosed are the most severe cases who are going inpatient or are hospitalised because they can't function as they are.
That doesn't mean that a system that is functional is less valid than another that has to be in and out of treatment. It just means, like any other illness/disease, that severity is on a scale, dissociative disorders and trauma disorders are a spectrum, and it fluctuates.
We knew we were a system years even before we stumbled upon the online DID/OSDD community. Some other systems are not aware they are one until they get a diagnosis. It just depends. At the end of the day, all you really have to think about is being able to live your everyday life without it being a constant struggle. That's what matters. But saying that DID is an "extremely rare disorder" caused only by "absolutely horrific extreme unfathomable traumas" is false and contributes to the underdiagnosis and, therefore, lack of care that people with these disorders face.
The lifetime prevalence of OCD is 2.3%, and you never see people call OCD "extremely rare" and saying it's statistically unlikely for someone to have it.
But because dissociative disorders are so much more mystified and stigmatized, a similar rate for them is apparently "extremely rare".
It's not even like actual information on it from professionals and researchers is particularly difficult to find, either. This article is literally the first Google result for "is DID rare" (and the Google overview that pops up BEFORE it even staight up says "no, it's not"...)
By the way, DID is more common than schizophrenia (0.75%), and yet you're more likely to be questioned for claiming to have DID than you are for claiming to have schizophrenia.
my liege we your council would not advise this course of action but we all agree it would be pretty funny regardless
being a factive heavy system with odd factives is so embarrassing like yeah i have like 100 esports players in my brain and all of our current hosts are all esports player introjects Like Who In The World . what is fucking wrong with me 💔
My other hypothetical therapy problem is that they generally seem more concerned with making you feel better about yourself than making you more pleasant to be around, which may or may not have any overlap, and honestly the latter is more of an issue for Me. I mean I am insane and depressed and all but I don't want to be one of those people who go to therapy and get more annoying cause their anxiety was the only thing keeping them in check 😭
What I fucking need is one of those little social skill worksheets for autistic babies except I'm an adult & I'll have to develop a humiliation fetish if I want to get through that experience without blowing my brains out. Granted I could probably stand to be happier that might also help. #MyProblem
Rockin up like Doc if you sit there and tell me to love myself uncritically and shit I will become a larger problem for everyone else around me. I will turn into a supervillain. If you tell me it IS the rest of the world who's the problem and not me I'm gonna start killing people. I need something else
I arrive at the therapy store and I say I would like 1 therapy please. But I don't want to love myself I want to stop being a cunt. Person behind the counter says "well it sounds like you would benefit from loving yourself". They're right but I still need to stop being a cunt though
currently enjoying the stage of recovery where I have enough self esteem to get pissed off
Other sweet and sexy psych recovery milestones:
1. I can say the words "abuse", "trauma", and "flashback" out loud without feeling like a guilty liar
2. I'm angry and I don't feel bad about it
3. Accidentally discovered a personal boundary halfway through asserting it
4. I said something confident as a joke and someone agreed with me
5. Oh shit I *enjoy* things
6. I'm angry and it feels really really good
7. I genuinely think this person is a moron and I have no desire to rationalize their stupid choices
8. I'm a good person, actually
9. Just realized that the minor thing I thought I was upset about is actually a placeholder for the really old thing I'm *actually* upset about and suddenly the new thing isn't such a big deal
10. "Same trauma!" *fist bump*
11. Self-deprecation makes me uncomfortable, actually
12. Fuck it, I deserve nice shit I don't need
13. I fucked something up and I'm not a bad person, literally just moving on
14. Wild that I don't feel like apologizing
15. This thing that gave me a panic attack once is only uncomfortable now, fuckin righteous
16. I'm ugly in public cause I don't need to impress anyone and I literally do not care
17. Hey Bitches Who Wants To Hear An Opinion
18. Oh! People like me!! Wild!!!
Really fucked up that you can just inherit complexes from your mother and be fully aware that they're complexes from your mother but still do all that shit
Pro tip: if you've always related to csa victims and kinda had this nagging feeling at the back of your mind that maybe you're not remembering something bad—there might be a reason for that! And boy, it can hit you like a truck at the least expected time
