blog for system-related things we don't want to put on main.

[dear-rabbit-system]

hello, this is a blog set up for DID-specific posts. the host's name is rabbit (he/him), and regular fronters are viola (any), bull (he/him), shadow (he/him), jenn (she/they), luci (he/him), and lizzie (he/they). we have around 30 alters, but we're going to be keeping this blog as anonymous as possible for system safety. the people who know this blog will know the names of our alters, but that's about it. we may post things we like from time-to-time, this blog may also have vent posts.

rules:

do not intentionally involve us in syscourse.

do not ask us about trauma (we are traumagenic but if we're to talk about it, it will be a decision made by us, not anyone else).

do not try to trigger any of us to the front.

if you fakeclaim you're not welcome.

DNI:

minors. no offense to young practitioners, the host/body is just nearly thirty and doesn't have interest in interacting with younger people.

people against BLM or ACAB.

exclusionists.

TE//RFs, SWE//RFs, tr//anmeds.

M//A//P//S.

pro//shippers and an//ti-an//tis.

s//exual blogs. artistic nudity and occasional n//s//f//w or suggestive content is fine, but blogs that are 110% dedicated to n//s//f//w posts aren't for us.

people who intend to use our askbox for traumadumping, or otherwise fill it with questions better suited for a therapist. we are not a professional, and asking for advice is one thing - but using us for therapy is something we're deeply uncomfortable with.

people who exhibit behaviours or beliefs that are racist, islamophobic, antisemitic, transphobic, lgbphobic, & so forth will not be tolerated.

please keep in mind:

we are mentally ill and disabled. the condition that affects us the most is my chronic fatigue paired with arthritis which makes it 10x worse, so we can't promise we will always be here.

we are neurodivergent, which affects our ability to read unformatted, large chunks of text effectively. we will try to make our text as readable and followable as possible, but if there's anything we can do to help that, please let me know.

we are white. if that's something you need to know and/or avoid, please don't hesitate to keep yourself safe!

we don't know a lot of people here. if we reblog from anyone who is nasty, please don't hesitate to let us know.

we tag all our posts with trigger tw, eg. death tw, bare chest tw etc. if you ever need anything tagged, please don't hesitate to reach out. we want to make our blog as gentle on others as possible.

Someone told me about how some people are median and have sentient autonomous versions of themselves and I went "Oh yeah I believe that. I have that" then thought it was just a normal thing people do. Eventually dissociation became an issue in therapy and I got told I have DID and I was like OH. THATS OH.

The many things that I have heard fakeclaimers say is that: DID is very rare, systems/people with DID are never aware of their alters, and people would notice if you had alters. I've also heard a million of times of them invalidating younger systems because they're influenced by the media, and just want attention or think it's fun to have "imaginary friends."

Many people diagnosed with DID were aware of having 'other people' in them (not quite sure how to phrase this--), and know there are other voices talking to them. But often, they tend to try ignoring these type of things once they get older, when they realized it's not so "normal.". They end up trying to ignore it and fit in with society/other "normal" people. Which causes a lot of denial in systems, and prevents them from ever trying to get a diagnosis for it. (But now with all the fakeclaimers running around, it doesn't make it any better.)

I hate this one so much. Many people say that it would be obvious if you had DID. It actually isn't. DID systems are structured around concealment and protecting itself. So if they made it OBVIOUS that they are completely different parts/alters/headmates, like juristically changing the way they dress, do their makeup, and their hair , could attract too much attention. And might attract more danger to the survivor. Many alters learn to just blend in, trying their best to survive through everything without being detected. Though, yes there are some indications of different alters, like mannerism, personality traits and such. But most people don't notice it, even people close to them. They look the same, and had probably learned to talk the same. Why would anyone ever think they're completely different parts/alters/headmates?

DID isn't 'extremely' rare. Studies have shown that, for the general population, about only 1 percent of people have DID. Other studies have shown, people in a clinical setting, 6 percent of people, (of highly traumatized patients), are diagnosed with DID. That's only people diagnosed. Let alone all the other systems undiagnosed who aren't able to get a diagnosis, don't want to, or just don't think they have it. So there are definitely more people out there with this disorder. It's also hard to diagnose someone/a system for DID when only one alter is present when with a treatment provider. Often takes several years for DID systems to even get a correct diagnosis!

So like I said earlier, younger systems can be fully aware of each other. And yes, maybe they were given the help by media to figure out "oh, I might be a system," but that shouldn't invalidate them. With more media, and access to information like this, there is a higher chance of younger systems finding out they're a system! Younger systems can't even get a diagnosis because they might still be in an unstable environment, and/or don't have enough money to even get one. Especially in an underaged body. AND YES, SYSTEMS CAN TALK ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES ONLINE. They aren't attention seekers or fakers for just posting something about themselves and their system. That's totally fine! That's just them expressing themselves!

I do believe there are some "fakers" out there who probably have other mental issues. BUT, that shouldn't give someone the right to just tell them "Oh your faking it," because it doesn't fit the website page you read about it on. Or their system doesn't fit how your friends system is, or your own system is. DID is variously different for different people. It is very understudied, and still needs more understanding. So before it's even thoroughly studied, and medical professionals have a complete, or at least a way better understanding of this disorder, I don't think we should be going around and telling people they aren't a system because it doesn't fit your assumption of DID.

Okay...that's it :). Thanks for reading my poorly written post (if you even read it all lol)!

Feel free to interact with this post in any way. Maybe someone can explain this a little better than me--or counterclaim it .

he gave me $3 for therapy

if a penny is love then your pockets are empty your stomach's caverns pitifully vacant

you’re circling around following your tail following the trails that your old pennies  left in the ground

go ahead, pick them up and forget that i was the one that put  pennies in your pockets in the first place

did you find one? did you find a penny? oh, you’re giving it to me? how thoughtful! how wonderful! oops, i dropped it, how clumsy

can i have another one? another penny? i promise i’ll keep it safe i’ll keep it safe in my stomach where all my pennies are kept

why did i say that? ...what are you doing with that knife?

you ruined my life you ruined my life you ruined my life

okay so i realise that this is something people aren't aware of and this kinda saddens me that others have been coerced and forced into also showing their diagnoses to validate themselves. here's your announcement that you do not have to. you don't owe anyone proof of your medical diagnoses. nobody should ever force you into showing your medical documents and diagnoses online. that information is personal and should remain private, not handed out to a bunch of fakeclaimers on the internet who think they know better and are complete strangers.

People who fakeclaim systems for "acting similar" are weird. The whole point of DID/OSDD is the brain wants it to be covert— undetectable even. Of course it'll appear like alters are similar, especially when masking— and some of us mask and slip into that singletsona unintentionally because of how long we've done it for.

If you're gonna fakeclaim someone— using a fundemental part of the disorder to accuse them of it just tells me how little you actually know about it at all.

Remember that you must allow people to love you, to be kind to you, to help you. Not everyone is going to be toxic for you, some people just genuinely want to be a part of your life, but you to feel all this love coming your way, you have to believe you deserve it. Let people love you. Let them look out for you, care for you, don't push them away. Let them stay.

Shout out to systems who are just surviving for now. We’re all at different stages of recovery, and sometimes, that stage is just trying to survive. It can be hard, especially if you’re still in a shitty situation. I’m so proud of those of you who are just trying to live to the end of each day. You’re doing remarkably.

Know you are loved and supported.

for those friends with people with DID, just a little reminder ;

- some alters may have different boundaries, and different ways of showing affection.

- some alters may have different interests, or different opinions than what the host does.

- some alters may have a different relationship with you than the host does, and thats okay.

alters are different people, different identities. when you get to know them as a person instead of treating them as the host, it makes them feel respected and more accepted. 🤍
