tbh the funniest thing being a system whos known for abt 6 years now is that you go from hyper categorizing everyone into really specific roles to like.

yeah thats joe. he does. idk something. hes just here

who in ur system fucks around and who finds out

In bed. Straight up losing it. And by "it," well. Haha. Let's just say. My memories

[wysecollection]

It is not uncommon to feel deep shame about DID or adjacent disorders. Many people with C-PTSD feel shame in generalized aspects of their life, and in DID that seems to tend to manifest in shame about alters. It does not mean you're faking. Take care of yourselves.

NOT supportive to your system friends:

- "can you make [alter] front?"

- always asking who's fronting

- getting upset when they can't remember something

VERY supportive to your system friends:

- giving them money

- "here's $50 for you"

- relinquishing your money to them

- offering them money

‘Actually I just made up the whole system thing’ -> ‘oh wait I’m another person now’ is not an experience I enjoy, but nonetheless is one that happens often

[sparkriel]

was gonna add more but i ran out of steam 😔👎 anyway here’s an infographic on how people with complex dissociative disorders are not that different from you lol

[skeptisystem]

oh yeah if you wanna date me you have to defeat my seven evil alters

No one talks about grieving with D.I.D, and how badily it affects your entire system. Like people without D.I.D keep telling us that we are going through the five stages of grief etc and that you go through them in order, but for us it feels like its something that constantly restarts itself and loops due to switches.

Like no matter how much we think that we are finnaly at the acceptance stage it feels like we go right back to denial again.

I am NOT saying feeling this way automatically equals having D.I.D, but us feeling this way is most likely because of that.

Can anyone else relate??

"Your alters are all a part of you."

We're all parts of a person that could be. Hell, maybe even a person that should have been.

But they are not a part of me.

I'm as much of an alter as they are.

I have parts in me, as in, I have moods and tastes and goals. Those part are not alters.

Alters are their own separate entity, although we are all parts of a dissociated potential whole.

I am an alter. They can't be parts of me if im also a piece of the puzzle.

[veinsveinsveinsz]

bitch with DID said they didn’t quite feel like themselves and i said oh im sure

[hel7l7]

YOU TALK TO ME BUT IT NEVER FEELS REAL

[afronerdism]

Saw a post that said “Not every person you dislike is a narcissist and not every unpleasant experience is trauma” and a lot of you needed to hear that.

[homoqueerjewhobbit]

Not all conflict is abuse.

[telltale-apologist]

Any other systems have a bunch of drafts because when someone switches in the middle of a post we just. Save it. So it says exactly what the original person wanted. except then we forget to go back and finish it so it piles up ;-;

somehow, amazingly, i have hacked the impulse that makes me mindlessly scroll on my phone. it's not gone but i've paired it with a conscious thought process that goes like, "what's my goal here? i'm looking for entertainment, for information, for something that makes me feel more optimistic and interested in the world i live in..."

and because that kicks in between apps, too, i'm not doomscrolling as much. i'm intentionally seeking out posts or videos or whatever that actually mean something to me. when i'm not satisfied i walk away or pick up a book instead. most subtle yet impactful change i've gone through in years

i did not intentionally set out to change this. i've just been working on my mindset in general. hey, turns out having a good therapist again helps

[bread-tab]

thank you to everyone who has liked this post for reminding me to keep up the habit. just caught myself doomscrolling and remembered i have a nice podcast i could be listening to instead

[fairycosmos]

genuinely happy for people who can say their trauma doesn't define them but me personally that shit shaped me fundamentally and dictates every choice i make every single day. lol
