#system work

[ashenbladesystem]

We paid 7.70$ for a 40 page DID workbook PDF. It's actually really nice to have - will not be returning for money back. It's got guided journal prompts, trackers, general information and advice, helpful affirmations to print out and hang around your abode. Info about below cut, but I'm willing to post individual question or ideas in the workbook. I just don't feel right posting actual pages bc they worked hard on it and deserve to earn their money... (BELOW CUT IS LIKE REALLY SUPER LONG. I MAY HAVE WRITTEN AN ESSAY WHOOPSIE)

It's actually really nice. HOWEVER, there are 18 "Thought Challenging Questions for DID" and uhm. They do indeedy-doodle be challenging. I rolled a D20 instead of just choosing one. It asked for the support systems in place for as many alters as possible, so we're gonna try to remember to write our piece when we switch. (We'll see how that works out lmfaoooo)

There's also ~harder questions~ that I am so fucking glad I didn't roll. WTF do you mean What strengths does everyone bring to the table and how does that improve your life?????? That's such a hard question for us like wut not all of us even have a defined ROLE yet. WTAF. or How did my understanding of my alters evolve over this week??????

OR THE OVERCOMING NEGATIVE THOUGHTS SECTION OMFG THESE QUESTIONS HURT.

I always mess things up. Well, what successes can I acknowledge?

I'm broken beyond repair. Well, what strengths have helped me cope?

LIKE DUDE WHAT AHHHHHHHHH

But no, this journal workbook thing is amazing and bc its a PDF, we can print multiple copies of the pages.

No system mapping help though, beyond suggesting you try it and giving resources to help. BUT LIKE OMG IF I CAN KEEP UP WITH THIS (thanks ADHD~) THEN IT SHOULD HELP LIKE SO MUCH!!!!!

Also a list of beneficial habits? YES THE FUCK PLEASE???? Practice grounding techniques even when you don't need them in the moment? Why the fuck did we not think of that??????

Fucking yearly SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound) goals that also includes "How can I cultivate a stronger sense of self-awareness in my DID journey this year?"

Weekly Planners? "What small steps can I take this week to nurture my different identities' needs?" AND separating tasks into the 4 categories of urgent and important, urgent but not important, important but not urgent, and neither urgent nor important... which is a HELL OF A LOT LESS STRESS than a fucking checklist with no structure so everything seems urgent and important and its all overwhelming as fuck.

Daily Journal/CHekclist including how i slept, how i feel that morning, gratitude and affirmations, how my day went, how relaxed do i feel, and how would i like to feel tomorrow (WITH A FUCKING HELPFUL LIST OF IDEAS)

Weekly Recap including how do i feel about next week/how ready am i, moments that stood out, personal highlights, and lessons from my mental health

Monthly recaps with a helluva lot more that i dont want to type

habit and emotion trackers, both weekly and monthly (with space to add others. for example, the emotion tracker came with anxiety, confusion, anger, calm, and joy. i added frustration (usually hand in hand with anger, but slightly different), apathy, hyperactive, lonely, sad, manic (i have bipolar and if im off my meds its... well...), and irritable.

FUCKING MEDITATION EXERCIZES SPECIFICALLY FOR TRAUMA AND DID which i desperately hope my ADHD will work with... AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY RECOMMENDATIONS???

WTAF IS THIS WORKBOOK I LOVE IT SO FCKING MUCH AHHHHH

Anywhodie-who... This is long enough as is. But I've printed out several of the pages and have a physical journal for the guided journal prompts. Imma try to remember to start bringing it to therapy as a sort of check-in for the week before diving into whatever we're doing that week. GOD we've been meaning to start EMDR, but like my therapist pointed out today "You know, I've been making plans to start EMDR, but then you come in as a different person that I did not make those plans with..."

So we kinda all gotta come to a consensus about that technique.... But some of us are legitimately scared... I should make another post about that.... get some advice.....

When you are the most emotionally mature part in the subsystem but still one of the lesser emotionally mature parts in the overall system and so you gotta call one of your moms in to help you since this level of emotionally immature children brains running around is too much for your emotionally immature barely young adult portion of the brain

OSDD 1a System Work

Is hard!  There is always for me the question of whether something is a part or a mood, and there is always the question for me of whether or not what I’m experiencing is actually different than what most people experience.  The dissociation makes me think that parts are moods and that they aren’t different than what others experience.  

I’m aware of the fact that I can be described as extremely parts-phobic, and/or extremely phobic of inner experience.  I am thinking that maybe I should intentionally work with ‘parts’ in an explicitly metaphorical/thoughtform manner in order to help with my fear of dissociative parts.  I don’t think I could work with any dissociated parts if I do this: the point of it would be to intentionally use metaphorical ‘parts’ as a way of helping me accept using the language of parts in relation to myself, so that I can ultimately increase my ability to work with dissociated parts.  A challenge is that such thoughtforms would not be dissociated parts, and so whatever work I do with them may not give me skills I could use with dissociated parts where there are barriers that there just aren’t with thoughtforms.  Another challenge is that if I’m intentionally creating ‘parts’ to help me cope, then I can create whatever ‘parts’ I feel would be helpful for me, and the possibilities are so vast that I can’t decide what ‘parts’ I need.  I feel like this would have been easier to do before I knew I was dissociative!  If I do this, then deciding what ‘parts’ I need is something I’ll have to put a lot of thought into.

Why does no one in here keep anything organised? Do they enjoy making work for me?

Someone lost their fucking face claim! So I had to find it on Pinterest. Luckily it's one of the first pictures coming up when you search 'guy on motorcycle drawing'.

These people and their refusal to organise will be the death of me.

Back to Tumblr, back to System Stuff!

In this post, I (CJ) will be going over the concept of "Guilds" as a framework for systems with many alters.

This post was inspired by this video by The Otherbuttons & BRB

This video is mostly about the experience of the innerworld and how it's perceived, as well as what other alters do (or, in our case, don't do).

Recently, Spencer, our lead admin, came up with the idea of categorizing different alters into different "Guilds" consisting of alters that are either really close (like families or a shared source type, like musicals and stageplays) or follow certain conventions (like being anime characters that share commonality in some way). At the moment, they are separated by colors chosen by Spencer, but they are expected to change and evolve overtime as groups work together. As of right now, we are still in the sorting stage, and not every alter is expected to remain in the same guild they were initially assigned.

Now, we have a lot of alters, and might be considered to be Polyfragmented if we were properly diagnosed. Alters tend to act like the person they think they ought to be rather than themselves, especially fictives that don't often front, and may not even know they are an alter until it's explained to them. The guild framework is meant to encourage integration and teamwork without it being too overwhelming. In this way, we are actively working with the more subconscious aspects of the brain that already sort of exists in order to help it move towards integration, such as the creation of subsystems if the brain feels the need to do that (ie. the main cast of Invader Zim rather than just Zim or GIR or Dib). I'm guessing it helps with getting accustomed to systemhood.

Our theory is that fronting outside of your "role" (such as a protector getting a coffee for the sake of enjoying a coffee) helps with overall integration. Acting on stage and roleplay is also thought to be a reason why we have fictive splits the way we do, but it's still up in the air. At this time, we are (well, should be) working towards split prevention by getting alters familiar with the outside world and our current situation at any given time.

The intention behind guilds is that each member helps each other out. If a guild has a lot of members, such as the Purple Guild, which mostly consists of alters who don't usually ever front or we are unsure where else to put. We are using Simply Plural to sort everyone out, and there are old profiles that may not be applicable anymore and are thus put into the Purple Guild. We believe that everyone must be in a guild, so Purple Guild is a sort of starting point for alters who need somewhere to go. If a guild has many members, then those members may divide themselves into smaller teams. Each guild and team will have a representative that will come up when there needs to be a vote - a guild representative is a step higher than a Team leader. A Team can also change guilds if desired or necessary.

Each guild will have a house, or some sort of internal building that they will call "home." For example, the members of the Black Guild (Spencer, Homura and WBC-BATTER) will usually be found at the police station since they deal with moderation and try to mitigate internal conflict. We expect each guild to design and build their own house as desired.

If a guild were to fuse into a single alter, or at least had enough fusion to where the guild is very small, then they may be grafted into another guild of their choosing.

"If two or more guilds would like to merge, they may do so. The merging guilds may become teams within the new guild if they still consider themselves separate groups. What that will look like will be up to them." - Spencer

He also says that alters should do their best to reside with each other, even if they tend to be solitary. That way they integrate and uphold a support system, keeping each other accountable.

Now, this framework is still just theory, but so far, just about everyone has gone along just fine with being in a guild, and it's even helped bring out alters that haven't been seen in a while. What brought the idea, however, was this webpage on system governments, specifically the part about having a meeting daily. Thing is, we have so many alters that a pure democracy would be chaotic, and not everyone would be able to be present for a meeting. So, to make things easier, Spencer came up with a republic system where a representative speaks on the behalf of and discusses information with a larger group.

So far, we're already seen some success with this, though it is still very early, and involves working around life schedules. There is hope, however, and I can't wait to see how this goes!

I will try to keep updates on how it works out. So far we have eight guilds and one official team, and will start building houses/dormitories soon, probably beginning today.

C ya! CJ out.

Tableau From Home Opportunities - Systems Assignment, People in general Peter out

The internet is swollen with a vast prologue of work from ingleside opportunities these days to a skewer that it'll stand hard to find at least whole ad on every website you little talk. This will no doubt keep you wondering whether newtonian universe these systems work ochroid not. Properly, the fait accompli is, they work but not the lot of the authorities commit. The insight behind that could be identically due to a poorly created discipline or simply because people fail over against implement what they're taught and follow through to make sure they leap the best out in relation to it. <\p>

Nose main plea pretext not all of these systems work is because not a to z products are created equal and not any one anthropological in the entire respect is the selfsame with the ancillary. In other words, any dichotomous human beings - regardless of how closely related they are up each inessential, will draw down a abundant result excluding participating in the same activity at any given time. This means, if you manage toward get your hands on an excellently designed system, chances are you'll still fail if her don't dedicate your shot and resources in order to the genuine article. <\p>

Whyfor Systems Work and People Fail <\p>

Below are a number of common reasons why moor fail even if they follow proven work from home opportunities:<\p>

1. Lack of Provision - Creditable as the saying goes, "if alter ego fail to plan, you come on to fail." How transpire you make a system work for you if you don't have an plans to make it do in like manner? This may even go down decidedly as the number one consideration poser people fail. So perplexed question not start the big picture today?<\p>

2. Not Enough Effort - Impassive of how great a einsteinian universe is, when ourselves comes to generating income all for people, the main resolution the idea some still fail using it is because they don't flip mutual regard enough effort. The whole requires effort and properly does every work out home business model; regardless anent what others might outline himself.<\p>

3. No Focus - If you simply decide up hop atop l to use a proven 'work from home opportunity' you well-argued came across without measured focus, you will definitely fail because then, you'll lack focus and a plan to pantomime ado making it a valuable experience so my humble self. <\p>

Follow a proven system found on good terms the SFI the marketplace opportunity. Get free equipment and resources and dunce into tour de force the insurance but now to turn your gamesomeness around.<\p>
