Okay ahh hi ...I'm really sorry this is a really stupid question but by "being a syestem" means you have did disorder, right? Sorry if comes of as rude in anyway I was just genuinly curious. Also what's an endo system? Btw I just came here from your bio ^^; anyway sorry to bother you!! Have a nice day<3
Hey, thanks for the question!
We consider ourselves a "traumagenic" system, which just means our alters/system formed from trauma. Most people know traumagenic systems as DID and/or OSDD, both of which are specified in the DSM
An endogenic system is any system that formed for reasons other than trauma, whether that be from other neurological disorders, day to day stress, or anything else
A lot of traumagenic systems don't like the idea of endogenic systems because they subscribe to the idea that only disordered plurality exists and you have to follow what the DSM says; we respectfully disagree for a few reasons
One: it's not our place to police other's identities or experiences, full stop. I'm not going to tell someone that they're doing something wrong simply because they use terminology that I may not understand
Two: I also don't subscribe to the DSM or ICD as the end all be all of mental disorders or anything similar. The DSM is a bunch of trauma response symptoms grouped together in little boxes that therapists have to assign you upon first meeting for insurance purposes
My proof is that I have endogenic friends who speak on their lived experiences and I believe them
Again, thank you for your question and being respectful, and feel free to ask more questions if you'd like!
