[systematicallystupid]

To anyone in the DID community also outraged by Trish Paytas' recent video coming out as having "multiple personality disorder" (a super outdated term) and spewing misinformation left and right, I'm with you 🤬

Hey, you know who you are: please stop reading our blog posts and then making long boring "PSA" posts about how our system is built wrong. It's really tiresome and I hate it. We've blocked you, take the hint

Thank you to anon for bringing this to our attention

An FYI to those who come across that person's post. The inner world isn't JUST a metaphor. It can also be used:

- for the brain to carry out threat simulation*

- to express emotion safely when you don't have a way of safely expressing it externally

- to provide comfort by way of dissociation, because we with DID naturally dissociate when times are hard so to have a maladaptive daydreaming like element to your relationship with the inner world is relatively common and understandable

*by threat simulation I mean it will play out alters dealing with situations similar in nature to what they deal with outside because the brain is always on high alert. So a protector inner world might get into a lot of fights or stand up for strangers, it's like mini rehearsal of successfully navigating conflicts

So if like us you find it can be intrusive sometimes (for us specifically when pain has been unbearable lately) that doesn't make you fake. Also our alters are semi-aware that the outside world exists when they're inside. This is unusual and we know this, but not unheard of. They aren't constantly thinking about outside or able to think about it in detail but they know it exists enough to understand that someone had a hard day fronting and is in a bad mood, or to remember things they've learned out here that they wouldn't have learned inside (mostly healthcare related for us).

You might not like this very much but we tried living with the assumption our inner world was our headspace instead at OPs insistence and it hurt, confused us, and brought our brain to a dizzy foggy standstill. Now we have our inner world again like we used to and guess what we can function again. Here are some people who know all this about our inner world and had no issue with it:

- Diagnostician #1 (UK Expert in DID)

- Therapist (has decades of experience working with DID)

- Therapist 2 who is taking over while therapist has surgery (has less but lots of experience with DID)

- Us

So I'm afraid if you don't like the way our system works you're going to have to deal with it. We're sure of ourselves and someone with absolutely no psych credentials making a tumblr post isn't going to frighten or bully us into hiding or changing the way we work, and we hope that by taking this stance we reassure other systems who don't meet the criteria a known abuser with absolutely no medical training is trying to enforce

The DID community is super depressing sometimes like why are y'all... fighting ?? instead of healing

Hi!

We are back on tumblr! If anyone is a DID or OSDD system please reblog so we can follow you and please follow us too if you'd like!

[railroadsystem-backontracks]

Can we all stop calling System on System abuse Discourse/Drama/Tumblr Drama? If you don't wanna hear about it because it stresses you out, that's fine. Just say you don't wanna hear about the abuse going on in the community because you find it upsetting. Don't degrade it to Discourse or Drama. Don't brag about how you're above all that/ not getting involved as if it's some kind of high school who kissed who bullshit.

I'm not saying we all have to be super involved or pick sides, but when there's abuse, respect the severity of what's happened.

Not only does calling it Discourse or Drama make it seem like it's nothing and takes a fat hot shit on the victim, but it also gives people who weren't involved at all license to weigh in like it's some kind of ethics debate.

Stay in your lanes and acknowledge System-on-System abuse isn't a fucking argument about statistics

Hi again

Hey, we're back on tumblr again after a year or two hiatus. We used to be called mercury-system, now going by Railroad because why the hell not.

Bit nervous about starting a system blog again after falling way outta touch with the community but here goes!

Fellow DID systems feel free to follow or say hi 🙂
