TW: syscourse I guess? Idk I’m ranting about misinfo that pisses me off
“You can’t laugh or make jokes about being a system, it’s debilitating”
Ok buddy if I don’t laugh abt the stupid situations we find ourselves in from the amnesia barriers or because of a headmate being stupid or because we’re dissociated and our friends tell us we were saying stupid shit we don’t remember
We will literally combust into flames of despair and agony, like yeah it’s a shitty disorder but why can’t I have joy in the decent times we have??
Do you expect us to roll around in agony every day and try NOT to cope with a little humor???
“Don’t name your parts! It’s anti-recovery and encourages splitting!”
Bro. What am I supposed to go by then? No one GETS names we name ourselves if we wanna because it’s easier that way when we need to communicate in some way. Also have you literally not heard of functional multiplicity?
Because believe it or not just because we have large memory gaps between days / weeks doesn’t mean someone didn’t write down what we need to know, or let someone else who can let us know, know. LIKE ??
There’s so many solutions and no one’s perfect, like we have our ups and downs and sometimes we forget shit we need to do because ofc not every headmate will remember to leave notes or let someone know
but for the most part compared to when we were recently discovered, I’d say we’re doing pretty good
Plus nothing encourages splitting OTHER THAN:
trauma, prolonged stressors, abusive environments, triggers etc etc, literally anything that puts your mind into survival panic mode.
some systems have a higher tolerance and don’t split as often, while others have a lower tolerance and split more frequently.
“You don’t need trauma to be a system :/“
I don’t even wanna start this.
You get to spread misinfo and call people “sysmeds” like. That’s not a fucking thing?? Systems are medical in nature??? Because it’s a disorder???
Unlike transmeds because being trans ISNT a disorder and you don’t NEED anything medical to identify as trans???
Like what the fuck? It makes me so disgusted when people can be like “I willed a new alter!” Or “I didn’t go through trauma but I have a system”
Obviously there’s systems who claim this stuff who have repressed memories, but the misinformation is so. Bad. I hate it.
Why would you want to be a system? The dissociation sucks, disagreements between parts suck, being abused as a child for so long and still, sucks.
Being a system isn’t about just alters, it’s about the dissociation, the trauma, the PTSD. There’s still joys within that like life has, but the reason a system exists isn’t for shits and giggles either.
And it’s always these types of people who think it’s having best friends or your fav character in your head. Or act as if introjects ARE their sources. Like NO.
Every part has their own way of expressing themselves, introjected or not ALL alters have some sort of purpose when split and it’s not to be a 100% accurate fictional character you like.
All and all, I’m tired of misinfo and people who don’t have the disorder having opinions on it.
