Today is DID awareness day so we are answering any questions you might have about us. We're going to drop a bunch of questions to choose from below. Feel free to use any of them or ask your own question. Each member of the system can make their own choice on whether to answer specific questions or not.
We've also seen that its Multiple Personality Day. We think it may just be using an outdated term but we're making the collective choice to use it to be inclusive of other systems too. So if you're a system who relates to and feels comfortable with this go ahead and use it.
Just choose a category/color and number or feel free to ask your own question. Categories are general, individual, introject specific, and DID specific. For individual questions please specify the headmates(s) you're asking.

As stated this is open to all systems, it's definitely DID awareness day so we added the last section with that in mind. However as mentioned we've also seen today labeled as multiple personalities day so we're celebrating all systems on this blog.
No syscourse if you have an issue just keep scrolling because trying to cause problems will just get you blocked. If you really piss us off you get blocked and put on blast so just don't. Protect your peace and ours by not engaging if you have issues with us. We aren't going out of our way to argue with strangers we disagree with who have no effect on our lives so you should do the same.
So regardless of what kind of system you are as far as we're concerned today is for you. We're just highlighting DID because it was named specifically and we're diagnosed with it. That doesn't mean you're unwelcome here though, we support all systems.
