30 Days of Multi-ness
(I stole this. From the Internet. I am a stealer. Actually, idk who originally wrote this, but I had to do DEEP, like, 3rd-page-of-Google investigation to find the whole thing. And I probably won’t even get past day two! So copypasta this to your rogueish hearts’ content (she said to no-one reading this, nowhere).) Day One: Describe your system. What kind of system, how big, anything you feel is a good introduction. Day Two: Who knows about your system? Who do you want to know? What do you feel like it’s like coming out as multiple? Day Three: What are your thoughts on integration? Do you wish to integrate? Day Four: Are you or any of the others in a relationship in or out of the system? How does dating work for you if you do it? Day Five: How often do you switch? How often do you lose time? Talk a little about what dissociation is like for you. Day Six: How do you feel about talking about the trauma which created your condition? Do you like to write about it privately or publicly? Why? Day Seven: How many parts do you know of in the system? How many know about each other? Day Eight: How did you first discover you were plural? Was it before, after, or during diagnosis? Day Nine: What level of co-consciousness do you have? How do you feel your communication skills are within the system? How do you want to grow in those skills? Day Ten: Have you ever done a system map? How extensively have you mapped your system? Day Eleven: How much control do you have over switches? Do you know of any specific things which cause specific alters to front? Day Twelve: What’s the worst thing you’ve woken up to finding out your alter’s done? What’s the best? Day Thirteen: Has anyone ever noticed you were multiple before you told them? Do animals seem to know the difference in your switches? Day Fourteen: To whoever’s fronting; what’s your favorite item to have around when fronting? Is it yours or do you share with other alters in the system? Day Fifteen: What song(s) do you relate to your DID? Day Sixteen: Where, as a system, is the safest place for you? Why? Day Seventeen: Who’s an alter you’re interested in knowing more about or befriending? Which alter do you know best? Day Eighteen: What’s your least favorite misconception or common misinformed fact spread abut Dissociative Identity Disorder? Day Nineteen: Have you ever met another multiple offline? Tell us about it. Day Twenty: Do you have a favorite book or TV show about or including DID? Day Twenty-One: Tell us about your persecutor(s), protector(s), and gatekeeper(s). Day Twenty-Two: Tell us about your littles. Day Twenty-Three: Do you have an inner world? If so, who can access it? What’s it like? Day Twenty-Four: Have you ever dealt with denial? What helps you work through it? Day Twenty-Five: When did you first hear about Dissociative Identity Disorder? Was it before or after you discovered your plurality? In what context did you hear about it? Day Twenty-Six: What aspect of DID do you find most challenging in daily life? Day Twenty-Seven: What do you think the biggest differences between living as a singlet and living as a person with DID are? Day Twenty-Eight: Share a memory of one of a different alter fronting which you’ve either been told about by them or by another friend. Day Twenty-Nine: How do your alters like to express themselves on a daily basis? Day Thirty: What’s one last thing you feel should be written about after answering all of that? Talk about whatever you want.
