Red Dragon Collective @reddragoncollective - Tumblr Blog

Intro Post

Collective name: Redd

Collective pronouns: He/Him, plural They/Them

Collective identity: cistrans (intersex) gender-nonconforming man

Diagnoses (for awareness): DID, Autism (lvl. 1), BED, MDD, GAD, C-PTSD

Hello! We are a small adult-bodied DID system whose frequent fronters like to draw and play elder scrolls games.

We are disabled with some sort of chronic illness(es) that cause chronic pain, mobility issues, and chronic fatigue that is not yet diagnosed but is being investigated by our medical team.

Most of us use animals or monsters to represent ourselves but we aren't really sure if we should call ourselves otherkins/therians/nonhumans.

We will likely use this blog to make resources for other systems, awareness posts, reblogging other systems' posts, and maybe to post artwork as well.

We will tag each post by the alter(s) that made them (aside from this one) using emojis instead of names for privacy.

♦️: host

🌈: cohost

🌕: gatekeeper

🪻: caretaker

🐇: trauma holder / main EP

🎓: "middle" regressed part

🐱: "little" regressed part

🗡️: introject (unsure of role)

We are very much anti-endo and feel unsafe around pro-endo, endo-neu, and endo-safe blogs/spaces.

A message to those who are going through syscovery, or have only recently gone through it:

Syscovery doesn't usually happen all at once. You'll figure out you're a system, but you typically won't have access to all of your alters or even know that they all are there, your communication with them will likely be poor or non-existent, you almost always won't fully remember (or even remember anything about) the trauma that gave you a cdd, and you likely won't have access to an inner world or headspace yet.

Syscovery can also happen in bursts or cycles. You can continually discover your system, fall into denial/forget about it, then it can be revealed to you again. We went through about 3 or 4 syscoveries BEFORE diagnosis.

As your acceptance becomes more consistent and you begin to feel more safe, your alters and some of your repressed memories will begin to reveal themselves. Communication will improve. Awareness of switches, fronts, co-consciousness, etc. will improve.

And, it won't be linear. Alters can shut down, go dormant, communication can be halted or get worse, amnesia can affect your knowledge of your system, denial can overtake you

Just keep in mind that healing isn't linear, and neither is self-acceptance. Denial and amnesia work together, and denial itself is one of the most commonly reported symptoms of all cdds. Be kind and patient with yourselves.

Before you make a post about how the morality/beliefs of each and every one of your alters represents your morality/beliefs as a person, remember that you are describing a disorder in which the most common type of introject is of an abuser. Yes, you are your alters, but this has nuance. Your mind did not consider your own moral compass when it split the parts it thought you needed, it was simply trying to survive. Acceptance must come first for healing and growth to come later.

Reblog if you are a safe place for people who used to identify as endogenic/tulpas before realizing they were either a) a DID/OSDD system or b) not a system at all

im trying to see something

#♦️#yes absolutely #the nature of the disorder is to deny your trauma was severe enough to cause your plurality #some disorders can look like did but without trauma such as bipolar disorder. schizophrenia. audhd sometimes. etc
