chat is there like. research on being frontstuck? is it a shared experience weve defined in community or is it like A Thing, cuz if it is i wanna read about it. i wanna know why it happens and what situations can trigger it, and what can help.

Day Eighteen: What’s your least favorite misconception or common misinformed fact spread abut Dissociative Identity Disorder?
that you can be a system without trauma
probably the type of trauma people assume you have experienced. most people assume it means you have been horrifically abused by both of your parents in every way possible, that you grew up in squalor, and did nothing but suffer. i think that mentality is so exclusionary to So Many Systems, including us. theres especially an idea that all systems have sexual trauma, which also isnt true and i think its very dangerous to perpetuate as it encourages people to search for trauma that either isnt there, or is hidden from them.
the more i think about it the more i think i may be anti polymind instead of neutral. initially my take was like if ur not stealing medical language then i dont care but honestly... the act of naming parts of yourself is a very normal thing to do, in singlets and in systems.
i knew someone who named their tics phoebe so they could be like "oh phoebes a bitch today she keeps saying xyz" or "phoebe keeps slapping me in the face" yk, its just supposed to be funny. i Am a system and i refer to my anxiety and ed as the bitchy school girl in my head with she/her pronouns. i know shes just my anxiety and not an alter because its very distinctly different. bitchy school girl is My anxiety, its not seperate.
that is a normal way of processing difficult feelings or situations or just day to day stuff. its normal to feel like ur in different modes in different situations, or like you argue with conflicting parts of yourself. thats normal, it doesnt need to be labelled as smth
