my new years resolution has been to be more active on tumblr!! I've been struggling to be active for a long time now :') I hope I can stick to it. I just gotta dump whatever I think of on here, whether I think they'll be "good posts" or not
rotisserie chickens are a cost-effective way to feed a small family, or for one strange adult woman to experience the joy of a predator tearing apart a carcass
We’re still getting used to being a system, and what we (are pretty sure we) have is OSDD, so it’s different than DID, but I was wondering if you had any advice. We wake up sometimes and it’s clear that the host isn’t fronting but probably more co-con, and we can’t tell who’s fronting. But today’s as worse, and we kept forgetting where we were, what was going on, and even who other people were and we panicked. Do you have any advice to prevent panic in that time?
this was from awhile, so I hope you guys managed to ground yourselves
but in the future: sometimes systems are blurry, and it's hard to find a solid sense of self. during those days, I think it's best to take care of yourselves & just focus on yourselves. perhaps avoid as much interaction with people as possible, just. find somewhere consistent to stay in & try to fixate on something to concentrate your focus on. if you're somewhere like school where you can't control interacting with people, I would recommend finding ground techniques that work for y'all
On self diagnosis: We are 8 where everyone has a strict role, and I might go and say "but nothing happened to us", I show all the symptoms of PTSD and others have puzzle pieces and proof that things did happen. We're at the point where even undiagnosed it's impossible to say nothing is going on. But we live with our abusers, last time we looked for a therapist our ex "best friend" lashed out at us, and interactions with strangers cause us panic attacks... So getting diagnosed is not everything.
we didn't know how to reply to this for the longest time but yea dude professional diagnosis can also sometimes impact someone's life negatively, in terms of job opportunities & social interactions. I've seen systems who choose to avoid prof diagnosis & I think that's valid.
professional diagnosis isn't everything, it's just good for resources, reassurance, and understanding yourself I think
yea I totally think we're gonna come back here but expect a lot more art !
we're also gonna work on changing this blog a lil
I don't post my furby enough.. here's chicken nugget
Congrats on the service dog! But I’m the other ask, and I was wondering what you meant by a fragment already forming? I thought alters split from one event, not form. Can you explain it further, please?
Alters can split and if they have nothing to immediately develop from, they're just kinda.. There. We've been through very traumatic events and developed an alter, but they didn't make their presence known for a long time, since they were kind of just a shell. They may have had a role by then, but not much else. When we asked where they came from, they were from said event. We personally call those fragments. I don't know how many system blogs have talked about this happening but yeah.. That's a thing for us.
I’ve been trying to find someone who can answer this, and I thought maybe you can? Is it possible for a fictive to be so distressed about not being in their world that they end up splitting someone they used to know? I was cocon with a fictive recently and he was having a bad, missing everything night. I felt a presence (for lack of a better word) of someone he used to know, but I don’t think it was an alter. Could’ve been him just wanting that person there. I want to know in case it happens
The answer looks like it's cutting off when I try to answer it, hopefully y'all can see it
but uhh honestly, alters CAN develop from inner-world related stress so maybe? I don't know, I've never had it happen to us before o: but if an alter is missing someone a lot and you have a fragment alter already developed, they might develop themselves around this new identity
Please reblog if you’re a DID related account!
I want more people to follow!

Hey guys ! I've been really paranoid about our abusers recently and scared that they're stalking us. Sorry for not posting much, we'll try to do it more !
Celebrate the facts. Happy Black History Month!

your brain on trauma: how about we only vaguely remember this event, and we can’t be sure if we made it up or dreamed it (if we say it out loud other people will accuse us of making it up or dreaming it so better we assume that on our own) or if it was real, but the consequences of this, seemingly made up event, are so severe we can’t normally live our life, we feel anxious, ashamed, guilty, paranoid, restless and hurt, but however all these symptoms, they aren’t proof enough that this event happened or that it traumatized us, no, maybe we just feel all that, because there’s something wrong with us - we’re weak, thats it, we made this up and now we feel horrible about it all on our own, there’s no way it could have been real–
He is 100% morally right to do this. Not to make a funny cool video into a “topic” but how about we start talking more about how tow companies are part of a predatory system in which trivial errors are given harsh legal penalties for the sole purpose of generating money? Sometimes not even errors on your part. Your car could break down or get wrecked and you still have to pay impound fees if you can’t get back to it fast enough. Your car can get STOLEN BY CAR THIEVES and you still have to pay impound fees. You could be driving, suffer a heart attack or stroke, have to abandon your vehicle to go to the hospital and have to pay impound fees. You could park legally, get injured or mugged or lost or otherwise unable to get back to your car before the parking expires and have to pay impound fees. You could DIE while you’re out with your car and your family will have to pay impound fees.
The fees start in the hundreds and increase every day the car isn’t retrieved. This can take away someone’s only mode of transportation and cost them their entire job and ability to live. Maybe forty or fifty years ago anybody with a car could be reasonably assumed to have some savings or a friend or family who could help with this and it was just a “darn it! My poor wallet! Aw man!” situation but today it’s more often a “guess I need to beg for public donations or kill myself” situation.
My husband's car was stolen. We reported it to the police, the insurance company gave us appropriate compensation, we went and bought a new one.
29 days after the theft, we got a phone call from a tow company. They had found the car abandoned in the side of the road a DAY after it was stolen, impounded it, and started racking up fees. They're legally required to contact the owner within 30 days, so that's what they were doing.
We were stumped, so we called the insurance company and asked them what we should do. They said, "Let us handle it."
They wound up having to pay the tow company TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.
One of my coffee shop co-workers got arrested at work once, she ended up having to spend three days in the county jail (unpaid traffic tickets leading to a suspended license; getting pulled over on a suspended license that she didn’t know had been suspended leading to being charged with a misdemeanor; failure to appear leading to a bench warrant; and this is how you end up in jail for one traffic ticket the system is abusive and targets the poor). A dipshit small-town cop was cruising around behind businesses and scanning license plates to see if he could get his quota up.
When the cops put her in the back of their car they started to call the tow company at which point my boss was like “????? Why? She’s in my parking lot? The car can stay.”
The cop was like “well, she doesn’t have a right to leave her car here so we’re going to tow it, she’s getting arrested, she has to deal with the consequences”
And thankfully (in this situation) my boss was an asshole and he was like “Look, man, I give free coffee to everyone who matters in town, the city council likes me more than they like you, the police chief knows me better than she knows you, if you bring a tow truck into my lot to take this car when I, the business owner, have not called to have a car towed and she, the car owner, has not called for a tow I’m going to go to walk into your station and file a report for grand theft auto.”
My boss ended up actually taking her keys and driving the car back to her apartment, which is good because the dipshit cop showed up at the end of my shift to hassle me about “loitering” in the back of the coffee shop where I’d just locked up and blocked me in with his cruiser asking where the other car had gone because he was going to have it towed.
We did the math on it and if our boss hadn’t prevented the tow it would have cost over $900 in impound fees for the 3 days she’d spend in jail. At that point minimum wage was $8/hr and we made *a tiny bit* more than that so basically it would have cost this girl over a hundred hours (nearly three weeks worth of work with the way our hours shook out at the coffee shop) to get her car back.
Anyway that same year the cops in that city towed a car to the city yard, opened up the hatchback, and shot a guy who had been sleeping in his car:
Also in 2009, at Approximately 3:30 a.m. Jan 30, a Sierra Madre police officer discovered a Nissan SUV within the city that had been reported stolen. The Nissan was towed back to the rear of the police station on Sierra Madre Blvd. To their surprise officers opened the hatchback of the SUV and found a man in the vehicle’s cargo area where he had allegedly been sleeping under a blanket. Why the officer(s) didn’t see the individual before the car was towed has been the subject of much speculation and supposition. 46-year-old Jason Jensen, had allegedly been living in the car that had been reported as stolen . SMPD’s Amos then shot Jensen with a single round to the upper torso. The internal investigation was completed and placed Amos is back on duty.
(the car wasn’t actually stolen, there was an ownership conflict and it had been reported stolen by a co-owner, not that sleeping in a stolen car justifies getting shot by the goddamned cops)
So, you know, fuck the police.
And look, I’m a reasonable person, I understand that sometimes someone blocks you in and needs to be towed, that’s an actual matter of public safety; I get that when someone is in an accident there has to be a place to put the car until they’re able to claim it.
But if you’re saying it costs more per day to maintain the space and insurance for a car in an impound lot than it costs for me to stay in The fucking Roosevelt then I say you’re a liar and an extortionate thief, you bloodsucking parasites.
Anyway, if you live in California call your representative about Assembly Bill 516, which would make it harder for police to tow cars.
I had a tire blow out on the interstate and totalled my car. Cops came and said they'd tow my car, gave me a form with the phone number and location of the lot they'd be taking it to.
I called the lot, mostly wanting to simply see about selling the car to them for parts and to get my belongings out of it.
The lot didn't have my car, hadn't even received a Toyota that day. They gave me a few numbers to call, and wished me luck.
It took. A whole. Month. Just to locate my ticket number. Then it took three more months to FIND my car and it took multiple calls and more time for them to tell me anything else about how to get it out, sell it etc, and nothing about the state of it.
That was in October. I finally got the location of my car and went with my fiancée in FEBRUARY OF THE NEXT YEAR to get my car, and there was close to 900$ of fees. I ended up having to hand over the title just to get my belongings out of the car-
Only to find the car's back windows had been busted out and a great deal of stuff had been taken. Books, my gorram peacoat from when I was in the Navy (those things are so fucking expensive!) and later, after going through my inventory, two textbooks that I'd planned on selling because they were still "recent" editions.
Not once did they contact me. Not once did anyone get around to finding my car until I had my insurance company call them because they wouldn't do it for me. And I ended up losing a lot of stuff, the opportunity to get SOME funds out of my car for a new one, and caused me so much stress.
Tow companies are absolutely predatorial and though I've joked about having people towed, I honestly wouldn't do it to anyone unless they truly and utterly deserved it.
