Wow, alright, so it's been A WHILE. I thought I'd share some old therapist notes back from mid-2024! (can you guys believe it's almost 2026?)

These reflect how things were back then, not currently. Things are VERY different now, but here's a treat for all the wait.

mild cw for mentions of neglect/abuse

found these in an old journal and GOSH it's odd looking back at this haha. The little comics are cute though.

present members in the above are SLH, Eve, Dove (briefly), Ceasar

Introjecting, a short story

the way introjection works in DID is genuinely nuts lmao. obviously this isn't the only way this functions, but usually how it goes for A -> B splitting for us (if B is an introject, obviously.)

also chillin' is a funny way to spell freaked the fuck out

[chowderofcats]

Misery x CPR x Reese's

had a busy front with two alters that hold or manage fairly traumatic and fucked up shit alongside two that do. well, the exact opposite.

this is how i cope my back hurts

⭐️ you ever just

yeah

(since this is getting attention, feel free to look at our other posts lol.) (this is rlly low effort)

Question about the way splitting work for you all! So the "A to B" way of splitting, is alter A still around or did they become alter B?

Also, making sure I understand this, if alter A is unable to accept past trauma they may split like this?

Hope you don't mind the questions!

(also, if anyone wants to see pages of my textbooks (they focus on dissociative disorders and treatment of DID), you're free to ask for anything, and I'll see if it's there!)

text below the line for readability

Image 1:

"A is still around, yes! But A can lose traits or parts of themself too."

"B will usually absorb, hold, or process the trauma instead of A, since A was unable to."

"A likely loses memories of the trauma, or becomes heavily dissociated from it."

"The loss of memories can end up be(ing) more than just the trauma too. Sometimes, things associated with the trauma are lost (too). A and B are also likely very similar, at least at first. (B might even think they're A.)"

Image 2:

"Because of the loss of memories, A's personality may change slightly too. (Especially if the lost memories were defining to A in some way.)"

"This can all be very distressing for both A and B."

"And yes, not being able to accept trauma will/can cause splits like this!"

"I use *realize instead of accept though! Mainly since that's what's used in textbooks."

[*Realize] "The moment of becoming aware or understanding something fully."

"If one is unable to realize, accept, confront, or otherwise cope with a trauma, A -> B splitting can occur."

"Also! We love questions, ask a billion. (It's fun to talk!)"

Your most recent post got me curious... What arr introjgects like in your system? :P

Quick disclaimer of:

Please don't take this as us saying this applies to anyone else! We're only sharing our own experiences for our system, this is NOT how everyone works.

text is below if you have trouble reading.

Image 1:

(Anon asks) "Your most recent post got me curious. what are introjects like in your system?"

"Well it's actually p' complicated!"

"For one, it depends a lot (on) how we split."

Image 2:

"For us there's a few kinds." "One kind being..." "A -> B! Which describes when A was unable to realize past trauma, leading to them splitting B. (This is how I formed)."

"And another kind being No Space. This is when new trauma occurs, and nobody is able to integrate it. This causes a new alter to be formed to handle it. (This is how most of us form nowadays)."

(Answered by Zay :3)

"I'm just happy to be here tbh."

Image 3:

"For now, we'll just be using these two."

"Introjection also depends on how long it takes to form, and Elaboration afterwards."

"If an alter takes longer to form, it's more likely for them to absorb traits from outside media."

"Aka, introject! but obv(iously), alters can be introjected without long formation."

"A lot of the time, this happens w/alters who split due to there being no space."

"The system needs someone who can handle something it can't."

"So when something or someone had been observed who seems stronger..."

"The brain tries to introject that strength into a new part."

Image 4:

"When it comes to how Connected to Source we are, and how Much We Act Like Source depends on the same info (given) above."

"Introjects split from No Space are more likely more connected to source. Mainly because the brain needs them to be as Them as possible to handle the trauma (that it couldn't)."

Image 5:

"Introjects who take awhile to form are less likely to be connected (to) or Act Like source. (Like me)."

"Usually because the traits were slowly picked up as seen when necessary, instead of desperately poured upon quickly."

"Obviously this isn't always the case, (nothing is)."

"Anyways, when it comes to A -> B, the least introjects occur. A was already being used as a building block, and the past trauma is Likely somewhat integrated already. As well as the fact the threat is no longer immediate, making it less dire (even if it doesn't feel like it)."

"Once again, not always the case."

Image 6:

"And if you're wondering how it feels to be an introject, or how I know? Can't help, no idea. I just feel like some dude lol."

Hey so I hope you don't mind one of us messaging like this, but I just wanted to say thanks for helping me better understand our system. We have an alter (Raine) who would frequently think that they're me (Terry) after they showed up, and always felt 'different' somehow - turns out they might be an "A to B" split from me, like the one you described. We have no memory of the details and can't confirm because we were an undiscovered system at the time, but thank you for sharing your experiences!

and seriously, dw, we love asks like this :] !!!

Hello !!

Welcome to our system account, made because being a system publicly is scary, and this is easier!

Please do interact with us, we rarely get to openly interact outside of private spaces, and it'd be great to talk to others freely without fear of exposing who we are.

💖 We're a professionally recognized DID system, working through a shit ton of trauma and who knows what else. (In therapy as of now.)

💝 Be patient, please.

💖 Our system is semi-large, I don't know actual numbers, I as in the host! We're a covert system, and I wasn't really supposed to know yet so I still know fairly little about most things going on.

Please read our Q&A
