Currently doing an Insomniac's Gambit. For those of you who don't know, this is when you mess up your sleep schedule badly enough that you attempt to fix it by skipping an entire night of sleep then going to bed at a reasonable hour the next day. Crucially, it does not work

"yeah dude I'm gonna sleep in 20 minutes" -- the most "will stay up another 4 hours" guy you've ever met

Okay but get this -- they'll *never* expect the rare Double Insomniac's Gambit

Doing this on the regular is how I turned my delayed sleep phase disorder into non 24 hour sleep wake disorder (much, much worse)

I went from having a regular sleep time of 6-7am to shifting uncontrollably forward each day, and it's now been like that for around 10 years. There's no going back, and it has robbed me of every opportunity I had because I can no longer even do a night job reliably.

Please do not do it, especially if you have or suspect dspd

it is NOT worth it

It's actually so annoying that all symptoms are explained with the assumption that you were normal and healthy before. Like no I was already struggling and suffering before, there's just some extra shit and/or severity now

sunburn VS my bfrbs: who will win

[sideblogformentalhealtshit]

The difference between "good food i can eat" and "good food i enjoy eating" is genuinely baffling to me. With the first one, yes I can eat it, but it involves other steps and foods and rituals. I spend the entire day stressing about my hunger and nausea and current capability to get it down. So much energy wasted on trying to manage my eating habits. But then when I have access to food I genuinely enjoy eating, it's just so easy. I just eat. I enjoy it. I don't stress about how and when and where I do it. I just eat and it… feels good???? Absolutely crazy. Eating not as a horrid chore I have to devote half of my energy to planning every single day, but as a casual, low-stress, enjoyable activity?! Genuinely insane. Is life always this easy for normal people? No wonder you guys like food. What the fuck.

The so-called "inclusive" system community when you aren't immediately a fully fleshed out separate system who can hear each other clearly at random intervals and not only when you're actively listening and can always tell who's fronting or in co-con and who can't function as a singlet most of the time and always realizes when they switch and always has total blackout and noticeable amnesia between alters where each alter is their own unique individual with their own identity and hobbies with 0 overlap of other alters and you use I/me sometimes instead of we/us exclusively: 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

you know “my mind created people in my head because i was miserable and lonely but they were just me” is the most basic, obvious, plural experience ever, right? it’s important to me that you know that?

is your system a council or a twitch chat

Really fucking lukewarm take; Anti Endos do not belong, nor should be posting in plural tags.

[soul-inxs]

Daily reminder: Endogenic systems exist. No one can erase us by saying otherwise.

We're here.

We exist.

And we will continue simply being, no matter how many will try to take that away from us.

[nautilusinthedark]

Tired of the anti-endos on Pinterest thinking they can gatekeep their pins from me. Just gonna start commenting this under their posts that I save

[silence-is-underrated]

If I see one more person who is "pro" endo give a completely incorrect definition of endogenic plurality to someone I'm going to crash out

"endogenic systems can't have CDDs! They also never claim to have them!"

"endogenic systems are systems that don't have trauma!"

"you can't actually be a system without trauma, this is just a term people use to feel more comfortable!"

Fight misinformation with more misinformation, smart!

[plurality-terms]

friendly reminder that you dont have to explain your plurality to anybody.

"what's your origin?" "are you disordered?" "are you diagnosed?" "what's your headcount?" "do you have fictives?" "do you have roles?"

just a few examples of questions you *don't have to answer* if you dont want to!

-host (they/he) we are a minor.

How it feels reading a Pluralpedia article when you don't know any of the community words.

[skulkofroses]

System roles are like a lot of labels, they're useful as self-descriptors to help both yourself and others better understand you but, when applied as rigid, prescriptive boxes that all must fit neatly into, they become unhelpful at best and often harmful and restrictive.

[mindwrms]

if you need someone to tell you this let us be that person: yes you can still be a system if your parts are just different versions of you. yes you can be a system if you have trouble communicating or cant communicate at all with your parts. yes you can still be a system if your parts dont have names of faces, but are just feelings and states of being. yes you can still be a system with no set host, or frequent fronter(s). yes you can still be a system without being able to tell who’s fronting at all times or if youve switched. plurality looks different for everyone, dont just assume that because your plurality doesn’t look like someone else’s that what your experiencing isn’t plurality.

treat endogenic systems seriously

[mindwrms]

your system literally can look like anything. it can have only introjects, it can have no introjects, it can have only non human members, it can have only members that look exactly like the body, it can have only littles, it can have only ageless members, it can have a full system of members that all have only one type of role, it can have a million members, it can have only two members. there is no set way systems have to look! they can present however your brain deems necessary for you!
