hi y'all, so, i have a question for people with did and osdd. im psychotic and likely schizophrenic, and i have a voice in my head that talks to me. he is not a headmate, as i do not have did or osdd, but i dont have a word for him, and i know other psychotic people experience this type of thing as well, so i was thinking of coining the term "headvoice" to describe these, well, voices we hear in our heads as people with psychosis. so my question is, to anyone with did or osdd, is "headvoice" too close a term to "headmate" to be appropriate? i dont want to step on any toes or give the impression that im trying to get into communities i dont belong in, i just want a succinct term for this specific experience. thanks

You dont?? Can you explain? I'm not asking in a condescending or doubtful way I just need to know.

No, and yes, nonny, I can explain. I understand where you’re coming from, btw, and I’m technically way newer in the community than others, but here’s what I mean.

When I was first introduced to the idea of multiplicity, it was actually introduced to me with a spiritual and paranormal explanation. It was explained by people who were completely unaware of the idea of DID, keep in mind, but talking with other non-DID systems who are aware of it say this makes since.

It was explained to me like this. People who are more spiritually inclined can “host” (see, even some of the terminology is the same!) wandering spirits in their mind/body. The spirits then (in some peoples explanations, I’ll get to another in a second) take forms of things the host is familiar with, like shows, comics, movies, even the real people around them! In other people’s explanations, and the one that we are (personally! not saying it’s right or wrong!) more spiritually drawn to, they search out the host specifically because they take their form from their original place in the multiverse. 

Then we get into another type of non-DID systems, which are DDNOS systems. DDNOS, or Dis-associative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified, is usually when (If we’re getting this right, please feel free to correct us!) all of the specifications of DID are not met. Usually the idea of losing time. We don’t personally lose time very often, so that’s why we would not personally consider ourselves to have DID.

This doesn’t cover everything and maybe other people can add to this most about this? We’re tired and having a hard time thinking of more to write. Also maybe if anyone could find some good resource’s for this nonny to read by some professionals, because we all know how some people want proof. 

Btw we’d just like to say we are 100% pro-self dx for multiplicity, DID, and DDNOS all in their own rights.

For Caroline who asked about refering to bumble as they

Pronouns! So, I am still my own person and do things alone, too. Plus, all of us are female so she works fine. However as a general rule cooking is a plural thing. We made soup. My mood/ how i am doing is "they're doing okay in arizona" Or "Bumble is going to college and They are going to live in flagstaff. Our room always belongs to all of us. "They're going home." I often go out places alone, but returning home, maybe because we're tired, is usually all of us. Basically when you are thinking of all of us, use they. If not, she is fine. People never fucking notice anyway. All day i was like "can we get through?" "let us through" Or when asked how i was i answered "we're fine, how are you?" Never a word about it. It's entertaining. And i am prepared, btw to deal with it if they do notice. Anyhow. I will close this with this advice: MUMBLING IS THE SOULTION! Dont know what pronoun to use? Mumble! (God i feel stupid making a big deal about this. But whatever. I'm still getting used to it. It's like coming out all over again)

Oh, God. Stop. Please stop. Oh my God, please just get a job. Jesus.

 i just checked your blog. i assume this is about my being multiple?

alright, in responce:

1) i do have a job, but thank you for the encouragement to find employment.

2) multiplicity is not ‘making a mockery’ of schizophrenia. multiplicity is something entirely different from schizophrenia. in fact, if you would like to read up on it, i can provide some helpful links at the end of this ask. why in the world would i want to mock schizophrenia? it’s a serious condition, and, having friends who are diagnosed schizophrenics, that would be fucking awful. even if i didn’t know anyone with schizophrenia, it would be awful.

3) why would you even feel the need to come and send me this ask? you don’t follow me and i don’t follow you. it just seems like a lot of effort on your part to be a mildly annoying and jerkish pest. 

here are some links to some sites focused on multiplicity: [x][x][x]

There is a large part of me that desires to be more active in the DID community. Jessie and M also want this.

But once, when this blog was very young, we got shut down. We got accused of being fakers for numerous reasons. While I like to think I handled it well (as I was triggered out because Jessie did not take it well), it still eats at us.

We know that if we become more prevalent, we raise the risk of receiving more messages like that.

And it's terrible that something so small might detract us from something so important. But it does.
