I’d like to take this time to remind everyone that self diagnosis is valid. One because we are living in fucking fascism and many people either don’t have health insurance or if they do, can’t afford to go to the doctor. We spent over sixty fucking dollars on groceries just for ourselves, one body, the other week. That’s nearly double what we were paying two years ago. Demanding everyone go get a diagnosis is so fucking classist.

Two, we’re a prime fucking example that self diagnosis can be right. We suspected for years and got involved in the system community and faced tons of backlash and people being terrible, just to finally get insurance and seek medical help for it and be told by our mental health team that we have DID. We were right. We always had been. Our roadblock was just the fucked up system.

Mental health professionals are fucking human and can be fucking biased. As someone who works in mental health, everyone in this line of work is either fantastic or literally the spawn of Satan and there’s no in between. Some people get into it for a manipulative power kick. Some people genuinely don’t care about doing their job and don’t want to be scrutinized by colleagues and supervisors and don’t care what that means for you, being ignored and unhelped and very potentially misdiagnosed and improperly medicated, which can be dangerous and highly traumatic.

Are you going to foot the bill of people going to get help? Are you going to network for good therapists, psychiatrists, and psychologists? Are you going to comfort them after they have a bad session? Are you going to even hear them out?

No? Then shut the fuck up.

I can't possibly be a system, I don't dissociate—(slowly turns, and stares at a wall)

“You can’t be a system!! You and ___ both do this!!!”

We still share a brain.

“You and ____ LOVEEE this!!”

We still share a brain.

“You and ____ talk very similarly!!!”

We still share a brain.

syscovery’s been hard on our ex host specifically, but we’ve been helping him develop grounding techniques.

jokingly reminding him that he always doubts our system first thing in the morning has helped. -🐺🦷🐾

he wakes up the earliest, he just needs to let the rest of us wake up!! -🥪🐶⭐️

──── SOCIALIZER:

alters whose role is to socialize. they tend to be

better at, more comfortable, or just generally enjoy

socializing more than the rest of the system. they

are under the "outerworld" umbrella of alter roles.

already coined? consider this an alternate term/flag! <3

[USERBOX PT: the first userbox says "this alter's role is being a socializer."

the second userbox says "this headmate's role is being a socializer."

the third userbox says "this part's role is being a socializer."

the fourth and final userbox says "this user's role is being a socializer." /End USERBOX PT]

[FLAG PT: the first flag is from the alter template created by k9coded (deactivated tumblr account). there is a rhombus in the center of the flag with lines stretching out from each side to the edge of the flag. then there are fourth individual sections separated by the center rhombus. in the first section on the top left is a neutral tone blue. the second section on the top right is a dark blue-purple. the third section on the bottom left is a neutral tone purple. the fourth section on the bottom right is a light purple-pink. the rhombus in the middle is split into two sections, the left being a light yellow and the right being a more blue-toned teal.

the second flag looks exactly as the one described above, except a symbol of a person with a speech bubble being in the center of the rhombus. it is colored black. /End FLAG PT]

[DESCRIPTION PT: "socializer: alters whose role is to socialize. they tend to be better at, more comfortable, or just generally enjoy socializing more than the rest of the system. they are under the "outerworld" umbrella of alter roles." /End DESCRIPTION PT]

some really fucking fascinating exchanges in the simply plural server. the last image/message resulted in me getting kicked.

btw, if you say you're a system, or if you say you're plural, I will believe you. no matter what. it doesnt matter how many alters you have, amounts of amnesia you have, how good or bad your communication is, whatever. if you say you are plural, then in my eyes, you are plural, and I will love you no matter what.
