official blog for the term copeidentity questions welcome

CopeIdentity

A trauma response where your emotions are so intense and so different from each other that they esssentially feel like their own people, largely due to identity confusion [especially in bpd or dissociative disorders]

You may give them separate names or pronouns that u yourself may also use or give them entirely unique ones. you may use fictional characters that u relate to as well as they simply describe those emotional states better.

They aren't literal separate identities like in OSDDID, for singlets there is a core/original.

Important note[s]

- this isnt a system thing, i specifically coined it as my experiences felt too similar but after a bit i was sure i wasnt a system.

- by proxy this is N O T an endo term, endos dni in general?? This isn't a syscourse blog and I am not a system, but I am putting a boundary in place, case closed.

- copeid shifts can feel dissociative, while you're still one entity u can fully feel like separate entities.

FAQ

"Do I need bpd to have copeids" so long you experience identity confusion, you can use this term. If you don't i think polyminded fits better

"Is this not just polyminded" yeah I uh didn't know polyminded was a term, and even then no since copeid REQUIRES identity confusion

this is probably a stupid question but what are the "identities" called? I keep calling them "copeID things" since I have no idea what they're called

copeids works fine, sub-identities also works

[copeidentity]

do the identity things just "spawn" or do you make them/decide they will exist? or how do they start to exist?

it is a conscious decision, like you going "ok this part of me is best w handling [emotion here]"

its more like figuring out in what state of mind ur best at handling things, instead of literal aspects of ur brain existing for it

[copeidentity]

do the "identities" HAVE to be emotion related? or can they just... exist? /genq

they can just exist

just so long its a part of YOU it fits i think

[copeidentity]

Do you need to have trauma to use this? It describes my experience to a T, the only thing is that I don’t have trauma and I don’t want to misuse this term.

I wouldnt say u NEED trauma [or even severe trauma for that matter]

99% sure this is what we are but we've been wondering one thing: is it possible for identities (thats what we've been calling them, sorry if its not the right term) to have different sexualities/genders? We know they can have different pronouns but weren't too sure about the other stuff. For example: if one identity is trans and another isnt, or if ones aroace while anothers just ace. We're fairly new to this type of thing and are scared we'll do/say something wrong so we wanna make sure 😞

i feel like they wouldnt be fully separate from u in the way like alters in a system would be, but the different identities could be diff ways to express preferences or experiences

like if u as a collective identify as aroace, but one copeid is sex positive and another negative

but ultimately do whatever you want forever

augh i feel like this fits me(?) really well buuuuuuuuuut i don't wanna feel like i'm intruding into a did/plural community since i've got some online circles that i'm worried it'll be seen as attention seeking if i use this label. do you know if someone has made a discord server/tumblr community for this yet? some people have commented on the flag pins on pinterest saying that this fits them, we might have people there... - uhhh idk what to use for us... stxrcrxw? (🔻?)

Do whatever you want forever!

At least the systems i know and system i have seen on here are fine with the term, so long you dont intrudce on sys spaces.

Id say a space like the polymimd community[similar term] is the best for ppl.who identify as copeid

But no, i don't know any communities specifically for copeid.

[copeidentity]

i sigh into my hands realizing i am both copeid AND polymind, as copeids r voluntary but polyminds arent

someone kill me

polymind inherently comes w identity confusion (?) that’s how people find out they’re polymind

two terms can coexist :)

[copeidentity]

is this still being plural ? not a sys but plurality ?

- ⭐️

Personally I'd say no? I don't literally consider myself multiple ppl and I didn't coin it in regards to being such, more that the experience is similar ig

Although personally, I do see the term "plural" as very tied to the idea of systemhood so that could explain it.

Going from mood swings so severe that you're screaming to serene quiet and you're almost positive you're not the part of the brain that's in charge anymore
