Fun fact: fictives cannot have 'canonmates.' Fictive memories are entirely fabricated. Fictives cannot remember 'past life timelines' because fictives DO NOT HAVE 'past life timelines.' They are products of their host's brain, and whatever source material they may remember is too. A fictive could only have 'canonmates' if other alters in their system shared their source.

Fictive memories are entirely different from kin memories. They shouldn't be treated the same. I'm a fictive myself and it's incredibly painful to know that I will never 'find' my friends unless they manifest as alters within my own system, but I'd rather accept that reality than allow myself to be manipulated into an attachment to a kinnie or another fictive from someone else's system on the basis of 'sharing a timeline' with them.

The implication that fictives can have 'canonmates' is a complete fucking joke. In implying that fictives have had past lives it directly feeds into the endogenic belief that alters are anything but fragments of the host's personality that split after sustaining trauma, and it's harmful to fictives who latch onto people they, in all reality, barely know, just because they believe they 'share a timeline'.

telling someone that trauma is required for a certain disorder to develop is not the same thing as telling someone to disclose their trauma

[the-nordic-system]

Apparently I lost a follower who was an endo so here’s your daily reminder

This blog DOES NOT support endogenic “systems”

DID is formed by repeated childhood trauma

Alters are formed during periods of trauma or extreme stress

You can only have DID if you have repeated trauma

Endogenic systems claiming to have alters without actually having been through any trauma whatsoever are bullshit

[firedrake]

Systems with did/osdd didn’t go through a tremendous amount of abuse and trauma to have people without did/osdd telling us we’re bad people for having introjects of a character they don’t like. Blaming someone for splitting is cruel and mean.

Splitting is a symptom of did/osdd in which a new alter is created. It’s caused by extreme stress. Someone will not split unless it is necessary for their protection or functioning. If you’re going to blame someone for splitting an introject then at least blame them for all their other alters too bc they all split the same way!

Or maybe just leave did/osdd issues to those who have did/osdd. If you’re ever concerned about something a did/osdd system said (regarding their disorder), then ask other did/osdd systems for their opinions. Thanks.

DID/OSDD Systems that don’t have a professional DX are valid.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have the ability to see someone who can professionally diagnose them.

We were so lucky to come from a middle class family and have to ability to see a specialist who could give us a diagnosis. For so many people though this isn’t an option at all.

Yes if someone has the ability to see someone who can diagnose them it’s good to get a diagnosis but that is a privilege many people don’t get.

Often people who are not professionally diagnosed are the ones who need the community most because this is their source to figure out what they need to do to start healing and such.

Expecting people to put their healing on hold until when/if they can get a professional diagnosis is classist and ableist.

misinformation about alters made by ‘endogenics’ and other myths to look out for on tungler.hell regarding alters:

alters cannot be killed. it can appear that way in the headspace if another alter 'kills’ another, but the victim alter does not actually die and can appear that way by going dormant.

alters cannot travel to another system

alters cannot just 'walk in’ and 'walk out’

alters arent a spiritual force that came from another realm

alters cannot fuse and unfuse from each other like some gem fusion shit

alters cannot form from bpd, autism, schizophrenia, or any other thing but ONLY by did/osdd

there is no such thing as a natural or endogenic system. you cannot form alters without childhood trauma before the ages of 6-9

alters are not imaginary friends or roleplay characters

feel free to add more

[systemfrick]

you know, heads up, not wanting endogenics in our spaces isn’t abusive behaviour!! it’s almost as if people with DID/OSDD actually require more resources, being trauma victims and all, and we have every right to be mad at the concept of “shared spaces” with people who don’t know anything about what we go through

[jhooopie]

To Endos and Tulpas,

Multiplicity is not something that you wish for. Multiplicity is not something fun and quirky that happens. Multiplicity is not something that you can create from your own free will. Multiplicity comes directly from continuous childhood trauma, formed from dissociation as a way to protect the child from the abuse they experience by removing them from it, in a way. You cannot, under any circumstances, just decide to have an alter and hence create one. They form from abuse.

You cannot develop DID or OSDD as an adult. You can come to realise your dissociative disorder as you grow older, but it cannot form from adolescent or adulthood trauma.

You don’t want other people in your brain. When too many alters (more than 2) are present, I get a terrible headache, and I confuse my sense of self. I can’t tell who I am anymore and it is legitimately terrifying. It’s scary as fuck to be going about your life and then suddenly feel like you blinked and it’s entirely different, because you weren’t fronting, and you have no recollection of what happened over the past 5 hours. It’s terrible to think that you might not be able to work because suddenly you’re the one cofronting and your little is watching cartoons and won’t listen to you to get dressed, and you really hope that you get front back before going or everything is going to be ruined.

You don’t want to look back over conversations and see that someone that appears like you, under your username with your account, has attacked a friend of yours, has hurt them. That hurts. It hurts when my alter co fronts and convinces me that I’m the real abuser, that I asked for everything that happened to me, and that I need to die to atone for what I’ve done.

I need my alters but don’t think for one second that I want them or that I asked for them. At one point, they were necessary for my survival, and sometimes I still need them. I did not, once, ever, think that maybe it would be cool and interesting to share my brain with someone. And you shouldn’t either. Plurality causes way too many issues in my life. It effects my life in a big way. Tulpamancy is fake and y’all need to stop. Multiplicity isn’t cool or fun or interesting.

[firedrake]

people with DID/OSDD: it’s kind of ableist to us trauma survivors when you claim to be a system without trauma. i know you don’t care about us but can you at least acknowledge how dangerous it can be telling people they’re systems when they’re not, especially in cases where they’re mistaking potentially life-threatening symptoms for a system? also can you please stop spreading misinformation about our disorder?

endogenics:

[skzloona]

Not to be annoying but y’all have got to stop making callouts saying people are faking DID when it’s intensely clear that you don’t fully understand the disorder, yes even if you have it. Frankly you can’t know if someone is faking, no matter how fake they seem to you, but some of you say shit like “I know they’re faking DID because one of their alters formed after age 9″ which is … so incredibly nonsensical and yet that callout post got thousands of notes. Just admit you’re not an expert and stop trying to diagnose or undiagnose other people through the internet.

[slurptheworms]

Being a system isn’t just having alters. It’s dissociation, time loss, lack of understanding reality sometimes, confusion, migranes, struggling to maintain any relationships, struggle to keep everything together bc it’s you know. A mental illness caused by trauma and without help it’s very hard sometimes.

what people think systems are: some supernatural phenomenon in which another being exists within you with no connection to the original part or other extended parts

what systems actually are: fragmented pieces of one identity unable to function as a whole due to early trauma causing damage the ability to integrate personal aspects

[actualsystemhelp]

someone: i have endopsychosis, that means i spirtually identify as having schizophrenia even though i don't hallucinate

tumblr: that's fucked up

someone else: i have endonarcissism, that means i spiritually identify as having NPD even though i have high empathy

tumblr: that's fucked up

a third someone: i'm endogenic, that means i spiritually identify as a system even though i don't have trauma

tumblr: idk maybe we should hear them out :/ can you prove they DON'T have a system? ok then sit down gatekeeper
