To writers or creative out there, great rule of thumb when writing (traumatized) systems

(Because I genuinely think a lot of people simply avoid writing protrayls of systems due to a fear of doing it wrong/stereotypical, without fulling getting what the issue is. I have a post explaining the "killer" stereotype if you are wondering what I mean. Also, plesse do not ask about endogenic systems, we do not discuss syscourse on this blog)

First off, keep in mind that in a system, every single alter is their own person/character. They need to be written as different characters, despite being in the same body.

Have at least 4-6 alters. Systems normally do not just consist of 2 people- but they can. This rule is mostly to avoid the "one good, one evil" trope- which can be done well if done properly.

Actually flush out what trauma caused the split in the first place. This trauma originally would be ages 4-9, but other trauma later could have caused more alters to split. The og trauma caused the disorder, later traumas are causing splits/the disorder to react to trauma.

Figure out possible reactions to this trauma (as people react differently to the same trauma, and alters do to)

Break up trauma experienced between them to account for memory differences. This is only if you're writing a system with memory/amnesia barriers, but most people who intend to write a system intend to include this. This means that the "host" very well may not remember the trauma that caused the disorder

if you want to make an alter violent make sure you have a genuine motive for what they are doing, see my post about the killer sterotype

Last but not least: do. actual. research.

Not reading people's statements on tiktok. Not reading people's statements on Tumbler. Actual clinical research. The former can both be helpful for getting the right feeling for what your making, but actual research is NEEDED if you yourself are not a system.

I do suggest (especially if this is a peice of writing that can be beta read) getting people who do have DID to read/give feedback on your work before publishing. This is even for fanfiction! I know it can feel like a pain, but if you are not willing to do research, talk to the community, and make sure you aren't spreading incredibly harmful misinformation: You should not be writing about DID or OSDD.

Hey uh. Sorry if this is a weird question but. Any systems okay with sharing advice on like. Figuring out if your a system. The last like two months I’ve been unsure about. That.

Today I experienced a large spike in heart rate which may or may not have been because of a panic response.

Either

a head mate had a panic attack triggered by something that I am unaware of

or

2.My heart just wanted to play tricks on me

Is this normal? Can people in the OSSDID community weigh in on this? we're kinda just going through this right now

I don’t feel real, I feel like some kind of weird growth on the side of someone else’s brain and it’s so strange and confusing to me. I’ll never feel real and I’ll never feel like a separate person and maybe that makes me weird in terms of how other people feel but to know my purpose is to fill in for a fragment of the consciousness of a person who just couldn’t take it is so strange to me, I feel like a person, but I’m not really, or I am and I’m just confused.
