Being intersex via hormonal imbalance still makes you intersex. That is literally what intersex is. It is a BODILY thing. A perisex system cannot be intersex. I did not think this needed to be fucking spelled out.

[scaphismx]

Genuine question here. What defines hormonal imbalances ? I have PCOS which causes me to naturally have very high testosterone levels (I’m AFAB). But I’m also a trans man so now I purposely take testosterone to increase them even more

Gender-related Flags For Alters!

These flags are for CDD (complex dissociative disorder) systems ONLY. Do NOT use if you are a "non-disordered system", endogenic, or an endo supporter. Systemhood is part of a mental disorder, not an identity you can adopt.

I saw someone make a post very similar to the content in this one, and I cannot for the life of me find the post again to credit them for this idea -- but this is not my original idea These flags are gender-related terms for alters in a DID/OSDD system. These terms only relate to alters in a system, and the way they present in the innerworld.

Female Formed Alter: an alter who formed as female and identifies as female/feminine, when the body is not female. This alter does not identify as transfeminine, but cannot identify as cis.

Male Formed Alter: an alter who formed as male and identifies as male/masculine, when the body is not male. This alter does not identify as transmasculine, but cannot identify as cis.

Nonbinary Formed Alter: an alter who formed as nonbinary in the innerworld and identifies as nonbinary, however does not identify as trans.

Genderfluid Formed Alter: an alter whose gender or sex characteristics within the innerworld are fluid, or fluctuates.

Bigender Formed Alter: an alter who formed having two genders or multiple sex characteristics in the innerworld, and identifies as bigender.

Genderless Alter: an alter who formed genderless in the innerworld and identifies as genderless.

Transgender Alter: an alter who formed as one gender, but later transitioned to another gender. This can also include: an alter who formed as a different gender from the body, but later transitioned to that same gender; an alter who identifies as the same gender as the host/body, but has conflicting or opposing sex characteristics in the innerworld.

All of these flags can be found as emojis in my server

you cannot gatekeep rescources, it doesnt work like that, hope this helps <3

This isn’t a resource. They’re flags I created. So no, you were not helpful.

[tales-from-syscord]

Hi! Once in a server I got fakeclaimed for not knowing what amesia was... can you still be a system and not know what it is?

If you are a system who does not know what amnesia is, I highly recommend doing more research on systemhood and DID.

[the-starry-city]

Genuinely how do you not know what amnesia is if you are a system??? Y'all need to be doing more research if you don't even know basic criteria

[partlans]

I was once in a server where a system didn't know that memory issues could be caused by DID. memory issues. You know, a pretty fucking key aspect of the disorder.

[the-starry-city]

I've had ppl ask me if basic criteria is normal 💔

[scaphismx]

If you are diagnosed by a professional, it makes sense if you don’t know what amnesia is, or might not be informed on the basic criteria either. But if you’re self diagnosed, and don’t know the basic criteria — you need to research more.

Too many people think all being a system is, is having alters. That’s not nearly the only requirement for a diagnosis of DID or OSDD.

[scaphismx]

hi, so we remember that you made a new alter help carrd with a bunch of updated info and we’re struggling to find the link- could you please share it with us or direct us to where we can find it? thank you :)

Putting this person on blast for this disgusting post by user “circular-jerkular”

The difference between depression and pedophilia, is if depression is not managed, it does most of the harm to the person suffering (but can have harm to others, although it’s usually minimal).

When pedophilia is even slightly uncontrolled, or done even ONCE to another, a child now has life long trauma.

Pedophilia MUST be overcome, it MUST be handled IMMEDIATELY.

This causes lifelong trauma to children when they are violated even just once. And most active pedos do not act just once. They are actively ruining people’s lives and causing one of the worst kinds of trauma a person can experience.

So no, this isn’t comparable AT ALL.

[xnightmaresystem]

Guys I just made the subreddit r/systemcringeiscringe in direct opposition of r/systemcringe.

So for those who think that subreddit is a despicable, lazy attempt at masking blatant ableism and vitriolic system hatred as “defending the truth”, you now have a place to rant about them, or even to reply to their posts. However, don’t go on any witch-hunts or demean the users there for anything other than their ableism and misinformation, that should be the primary focus of posts !!

This subreddit is not going to be for endogenic systems, or to promote endo beliefs. This is purely for DID/OSDD systems and to debunk myths/misinformation about these disorders.

[activewildcard-deactivated20260]

anddd here we go with "you can tell when people are faking DID" again 😐 this tag was full of fun, whimsy and questions for a good two seconds.

no, you cannot tell if a stranger online is faking a disorder, not even professionals are able to properly evaluate people sometimes. it takes multiple sessions for a professional to even consider the idea of malingered DID, or malingering of any disorder.

you are not the professional and highly intelligent person you think you are. you do not have the capability to tell if someone is faking DID based off their tumblr blog, or any other social media.

have none of you gone to fifth grade health class? they have a whole unit about the internet, at least they do in my school, and one of the first things you're taught is "people often don't tell every detail about themselves online.", they teach you to practice internet safety such as not sharing personal details of yourself online, which definitely can include things such as your trauma, details about your system, and darker parts of your life.

most of this "you can tell if someone's faking DID" comes from sanism, and honest to god, hatred for people who.... practice internet safety? like why are you guys mad that not everyone wants to get extremely personal online, and therefore declaring you have some magical ability to go into their head and can decide if they're faking or not?

[anti-endo-sysfessions]

Considering it took me a very long time to actually be 100% sure someone was faking (and they were, I got onto it once they used alters for manipulation on my friend- they admitted to faking when I hinted at it during a fight) you can NOT always tell. You can't tell anything without actual evidence

[scaphismx]

Definitely. I had a friend who used their DID in very “convenient” ways, aka he would do something royally fucked and then when I called him out he would say “actually that was X alter”, manipulated us with their alters, no system responsibility ever, and I do not have any confirmation that he was lying — but considering they lied about many many many many other things (including lying about being a trans man, lied about being on T and, lied about their genitals—when they are in fact AMAB—and then lying about being r’d and getting pregnant from it…), it’s unlikely it was true. But I only recognise that now. I knew him for a year. You will not be able to tell an actual liar is lying, they are usually very good at hiding it to the average person. It takes an actual doctor to know the difference. The people that seem to “be obviously lying” either really do have the disorder, or are simply misinformed/misunderstanding their symptoms (and not purposely lying about anything).

Hey guys, need some advice on if this is actually a part of DID, or endogenic beliefs. Contains triggering content

Got an ask on my blog seeking advice and they are saying they experienced two alters being r’d in the inner world, and that the alters got pregnant, and a persecutor killed one of the babies (all in the inner world). Is this even possible with DID/OSDD ? This to me sounds like an endogenic thing. I do not publish posts containing endogenic rhetoric. Advice or knowledge would be appreciated

[systemtraumadumping]

Hello all of you lovely people ! ❤️

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but I’ve finally decided to open up my own system discord server !

My goal is to provide a place for those with CDDs to seek community, support, resources, and education about CDDs !

My server contains a plethora of articles, studies, resources, and information about DID, OSDD, C-PTSD and more ! Please note, we are not professionals, and we can only assist as a fellow person with this disorder

The server also has a venting channel (equipped with a confession bot for anonymity when desired) for all of your venting needs. We allow vents of all kinds, just as we do on this blog. This is a safe space where no experience is too small or too big to seek support for.

We also provide an adult-only space, and little space (for little alters, not for bodily children !)

We have a wide array of selectable roles for CDDs, other disorders and disabilities, as well as aesthetic roles !

Who is this server for?

This server is strictly for those suffering with a CDD (complex dissociative disorder). This means DID/OSDD/UDD ! Our server is not for endogenic systems or mixed origin systems. We do allow singlets who have friends or loved ones who suffer from a CDD to learn more and to support their loved ones ! This server is strictly anti-transID, anti-radqueer, anti-proship, and anti-“narc abuse” ! This is a neurodivergent safe space, for all neurodivergent people

Please note, this server is 16+

Please consider joining, we would love to have you here !

Check out the ☽ Moonlit Skies ☾ community on Discord – hang out with 16 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

[scaphismx]

Hey guys, check out my server !!! CDD systems only (no endos) support server !

[scaphismx]

Why tf can I not find a good DID/OSDD community.

I join and they’re either claiming to be anti-endo, but still actually let endos in, or they are fucking pro-shippers. Guys, do any of you know any good DID/OSDD servers that’s adult only, anti-endo, anti-proship, and anti-transID ? Is that combo just — not existent ?

Ok I’m going to be so real rn, why is narcissism bad ?

I feel like this comes from religion and something about you must be humble or whatever, but so long as you aren’t putting others down to lift yourself up, or harming a person, what is wrong with narcissism ? What’s wrong with having a big ego, what’s wrong with wanting attention, what’s wrong with wanting admiration ?

I’d also love to hear input from anyone with NPD, do you feel your narcissism is bad or negatively impacts you ? Is there any insight you’d like to give me ? I’d genuinely love to learn more

[rivalthieves]

So we were just fakeclaimed because we're all dating each other (explained a little later). Apparently we're only dating each other because of the cannon ships and we need to separate from source completely or we're anti recovery

Which, first of all, imcho, dating a sourcemate that's your cannon partner in source isn't a huge deal. Imagine being ripped away from your partner to solve a teenagers problems, that sucks! Finding your partner again must be the best feeling ever in that case

But.. most of us, Yu-Gi-Oh fictives specifically, ARE source separated, like Bakura and Marik are both very separated. We all are, just to varying degrees. And to top that off.... we're all introjects of the male characters and none of us are cannon. Fannon sure but not cannon which was this person's whole point. And I would argue we aren't even fannon

I (Ryou) am dating Yugi, Atem, Marik, and Joey. Yes all at once we are all dating each other at once. Bakura and Marik aren't dating but they flirt with each other and Marik is clearly into him. Individually people have shipped us but certainly not altogether and I have yet to see just Yugi and I rather than YamiYugi and Bakura although I'm sure its somewhere if you dig enough lol

Anyway my point is, once again, shut up and let Introjects live their lives. We deal with enough shit as is, leave us alone for once

-Ryou

[scaphismx]

I honestly hate the idea that “if you don’t source separate now you are ANTI RECOVERY AND A BAD PERSON”

Do people forget why introjects form ? Do people forget this is still a survival mechanism, and forcing yourself to detach from your only coping mechanism is going to do so much more harm than good ? It takes fucking YEARS to develop healthy coping mechanisms and even longer to heal from trauma. You know what happens while you’re building those coping mechanisms ? You use the only ones you have, like dissociation and source attachment.

One of the very first things I learned in therapy, is to identify why a coping mechanism is there, and to not inherently view it as bad. Coping mechanisms, no matter what they are, are shielding us from something that we can’t handle — a pain much darker than what we mask it with. Being source attached is not wrong, finding comfort in a source is not wrong, identity dissociation is not wrong. You must first understand what it’s masking before you can even think of replacing that tool. Understanding that your coping mechanisms don’t make you wrong or evil is so incredibly critical to healing, I absolutely hate this idea that relying on “unhealthy” coping mechanisms (mind you, these coping mechanisms aren’t a threat to your life, it’s a different story if they are) makes you anti recovery and therefore a bad person. Guys, you’re trying to jump step 1, 2, 3 and 4 to go straight to step 5, and are mad at those who haven’t even reached step 1, demanding they be at 5 already.

For us with OSDDID, we never learned healthy coping mechanisms. We never learned stability, or security. These “unhealthy” coping strategies are all that we have to keep us from the deepest depths of our pain and suffering. So to us, they aren’t unhealthy, they’re saving us from a much greater pain. Of course, the ideal situation is to have no suffering, no pain — and a lot of the time our survival techniques do cause us long term suffering or pain. But this takes time guys, some of us won’t ever fully detach from them, and that’s ok. There is absolutely no rush to heal, healing must be on your terms and at your speed. Please stop rushing people, you don’t know how their brain works, and you sure as hell aren’t their therapist. Stop acting like it.

How does seeing alters as Entirely separate from you couse harm?

(I'm not trying to start beef I just wanna know coz I'm curious and bored

I have a draft about this somewhere but I'll respond to you until I post that.

Alters are dissociated states and dissociation is what makes alters separate from one another. Dissociation is the process of disconnecting from your thoughts, feelings, surroundings, etc... yourself and everything as a whole. This is something everyone does to some degree, but pwDID (and other disorders further on the dissociative scale; PTSD, CPTSD, BPD, OSDD, etc) experience dissociation in a maladaptive way. Like a coping mechanism that becomes unhealthy. By viewing your alters as something entirely separate from you, you are causing further disconnection from yourself therefore worsening dissociation for yourself/that alter. Alters who are uncomfortable using a name that isn't their chosen one, are disconnected from their physical appearance or focus on internal appearance, find more enjoyment in "innerworld" than real world, refer to their body as "the body", and other things like that which cause distress if not fed into have an unhealthy level dissociation. This is normal for pwDID; it is a dissociative disorder after all, but it's not good. Encouraging this and feeding into it forever just because it feels better than working on recovery is causing harm to yourself.

I like to compare it to MaDD. Day dreaming can be normal, people do it all the time. When it becomes maladaptive is when it starts to become unhealthy. Someone who is using MaDD as a coping mechanism may not want to focus on recovery because it's hard and living with it just feels easier. But learning to move away from that unhealthy coping mechanism, no matter how difficult it is, is necessary in learning healthy ways to cope and handle things in life instead of resorting to escapism in the same way of relying on dissociation.

Allowing your alters to have some level of individuality isn't seeing them as separate for all people. This is why certain things like Simply Plural, naming alters, tracking switches, etc can hurt someone instead of helping them. Does this make it counter productive for all people? No! That part heavily depends on the person, and some level of individuality can be helpful for someone. If that individuality leads to feeling distress when acknowledging you are one physical person at the end of the day, that is when it becomes unhealthy.

Not everyone is at a place where they can acknowledge their alters as part of them, and that's okay. Dissociation comes with the disorder (obviously..) and recovering from that takes time. Viewing your alters as something entirely separate from you shouldn't be encouraged in the long run though, because it's not helping even if it feels best in the moment. Even functional multiplicity requires some level of integration and acknowledging yourself as parts of one whole.

Hopefully this makes some sense.

TL;DR: Feeling separate from yourself is dissociation, encouraging that worsens the dissociation. Individuality isn't the same as seeing yourself as separate.

[scaphismx]

I think something extremely important to point out, is just because it’s an unhealthy coping mechanism, does not mean you should be going to every person and forcing them to stop or demanding they stop the coping mechanism. This disorder is a survival disorder, it and its coping mechanisms form to shield from an even greater pain. Yes, it is not the ideal to experience this level of dissociation, to not identify with your body, to rely on maladaptive day dreaming. BUT, that does not mean every person should be immediately trying to rid themselves of this. Ripping away a “harmful” coping mechanism like dissociation and depersonalisation might uncover deep rooted trauma that a person’s brain is not capable of handling. There is always a reason that the dissociation/depersonalisation is there. Ripping away a person’s only coping mechanism before healthy coping mechanisms are well established will nearly always result in more damage than good. A person is not causing themselves more harm if they are relying on the only tool in their tool belt, even if it’s a bad tool. The healing MUST be at the person’s pace, forcing it even a second sooner will ALWAYS cause more harm than good.

While yes, the most ideal situation is to not have any dissociation/depersonalisation or maladaptive daydreaming, it’s critical that we recognise why it’s there, and how it could potentially be beneficial to the person and ensure they survive in a survival state. Not every person is in a state where they can begin healing.
