Something

Something. In my 20s. Use your own pronouns to refer to me. Blog about DID and my experience with it. Also a bit of a general recovery and positivity blog.

Pinned Post

Hi, I'm Something, or Something System. Started as a placeholder, but honestly the name is kinda nice. This is a mental health blog revolving around primarily DID, but will also have things related to other disorders and general experiences. This is for my whole system. Some alters might make themselves known or use sign-offs, some not, depending on what they're comfortable with.

No discourse. Please don't make that stuff my problem.

Some Links we want to have saved:

Star Theory (a way to visualize dissociation)

Dissociative Systems flag (the one we personally use)

Tag System:

This comic only mentions different hallucinations based on sensory modality (which sense it impacts) but there are other ways to categorise hallucinations such as the theme of the hallucination or the severity of the hallucination

Hallucinations don’t only affect schizospec people and can happen to people without a psychotic disorder or any mental illness/condition

I promise you haven't fucked up as badly as you think you have.

A wise mentor once said to me while I was student teaching: "Did you actually fuck it up, or did it just not go how you expected it to go?"

Life changing words.

Reminder that abusers can be abusive by accident.

Reminder that abusers can genuinely, wholeheartedly believe that they are doing you a favor by abusing you.

Reminder that some abusers never apologize because they genuinely, wholeheartedly believe their abuse was for the better.

You’re allowed to know and acknowledge this and still be upset!

Explanation is not an excuse.

Some people abuse purely to cause a victim pain.

Others abuse for more complicated reasons.

But that doesn’t negate the fact that they abused you.

Even if there were aggravating circumstances, you are still allowed to still be mad at your abuser. You were not in control of their circumstances in their life and it was unfair you had to suffer the consequences.

Abuse is abuse, no matter the circumstances.

Simply Plural is apparently being discontinued. Which really sucks. I never used it personally, it was always kinda buggy on my end, but still... it was really popular, and I feel awful for all the people who've relied on it, including a few good friends of mine. I've heard of Ampersand, a similar project that's early in development, and I hope it becomes a viable alternative (or people move to more self-sustaining options, like Obsidian, custom Neocities pages, and the like, so that they never have to worry about the servers shutting down on them.)

From what I know it's going to still be around for a while, so it's not immediately disappearing, but it's still really unfortunate that it's on the horizon.

surprisingly difficult pill to swallow: most people are not playing 8 dimensional mind chess and can be taken at face value

Having an anxiety disorder or chronic paranoia is like having spidey senses that don't work. The wind blows slightly differently, a conversation goes quiet or changes subject, the hairs raise on the back of my neck.... ahh, I've just said something that made the entire function secretly hate me. I can feel it

I've been starting to work on internal family systems in therapy and it's super interesting, anyone else?

[juney-blues]

The word "system" implies a level of organisation and a clarity of purpose that i simply do not possess.

Like it seems like a lot of people confuse people expecting women to be irrational and unstable with people actually taking women's mental health seriously
