#tw pluralmisia

singlets need to shut up. they need to learn to shut up. especially singlets who think theyre "educated on DID" after reading the dsm and maybe a medical article or two and that's it instead of listening to cdd ppl and the otherwise plural. singlet milgram fans need to learn how to shut up im done being nice about it

singlets discovered plurality on pinterest..?!

and some still bring it down only as a fictional concept. trauma or endo, no one cares, huh?

[theweirdalthuplural]

plurality feels isolating and alone when everything is about whether you exist or not i feel so ashamed of my trauma because all people care about is if ur trauma was “enough” it makes me want to traumatize myself more i dont want to glamourize trauma but i cant help it. 🧠⚰️

So we've realized that there's a lot of ableism in our life. Mostly from our mother.

For reference, we are a system and we have ADHD, Autism, Sinus Tachycardia (average of 100+ bpm), and Psychogenic Nonepilleptic Seizures.

She used to get angry and tried to punish us for taking breaks when we were in high school, even though we'd finished whatever we were working on. She thought we were being lazy.

She also tried to bar us from listening to Youtube videos while we worked. Even though it helps us better than regular music sometimes.

She will look us in the eye when we're trying to catch our breath from climbing stairs or something and tell us we're fine.

She never asks us who's fronting or makes an effort to learn about our system, and refers negatively to anyone who isn't our host. If she ever asks questions, it's because someone else engaged the topic.

She actively ignores when we say we're overstimulated. She once forced us to make a phone call while we were overstimulated and it was awful. But then she'll look at us when she's overstimulated and say "you get it." ...Yeah, I'm not sure you do though.

She was in the room when we got diagnosed with PNES and yet when we tell her that we're feeling warning signs of a potential seizure, she acts like we're making it up for attention.

She also tried to punish us for calling 911 once because we'd had seven seizures in a day and passed out during one of them (we usually stay conscious). We called because we were scared. We told her about it before that, and she acted like it was no big deal and there was nothing she could do. Later, at the hospital, she said "well you should have said something, we would have taken you if we knew it was that bad." WE DID. YOU BLATANTLY IGNORED US LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO.

Then there was last week. We found out that we could get accomodations at work for our physical disabilities. Our mother tried to actively discourage us from doing it because "It could make it harder to get a job later on". To her credit, she does have a point, but it's the fact that she was actively trying to discourage us from getting something that would help us at work. And the fact that she seemed to think we didn't think of that.

I just- it hit like a brick wall, honestly. I never realized how ableist she acts. Maybe some of the others did. I'm also fairly sure that half of this counts as neglect? Idk. But it's definitely ablist. And I'm getting really tired of it tbh. She acts like she isn't the problem here when she is. She acts all supportive in public, but the moment we're alone, forget having any kind of support from her.

those who expect plurals to know/care about their "plurality origins" and for origin labels to mean anything about someone's present should fully commit and also apply the same standards to singlets. hashtag traumagenic singlethood. endogenic singlets are not real (everyone has experienced trauma and it's mandatory to base your identity on your trauma and not things that aren't trauma). willogenic singlets are not real (it's impossible to want and succeed to change yourselves in any way ever). everyone having gone through trauma means everyone has ptsd, but if you don't agree with me in everything that means your ptsd is fake, so if you also don't base your identity on your trauma and don't say you have ptsd, that means you're lying about lying about having ptsd. hey i'm a different person accepting of all singlets, both traumagenic and endogenic ones, which are two different non-overlapping kinds of singlets. i support endogenic singlets but everyone who thinks they're fake is also valid. both endogenic singlets and everyone who thinks they're fake is welcome on this blog. i support endogenic singlets and not those who thinks they're scum, and i will repeat that on every post, just in case you haven't had enough reminders that some tumblr randos think singlethood is so horrible it could only be a result of trauma. etc etc etc etc
