The Hive System

Just a couple of bees sharing one hive. Oh, and a girlfriend, too.

My partner system is growing, and so is my love and support for them.

If your ADHD is causing you to fuck up more, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the ADHD is getting worse.. you could just be doing more things which gives you more opportunity to fuck up.

This is one of the reasons, ADHD can get ‘worse’ as an adult. A child has very few responsibilities. An adult on the other hand, has all kinds of opportunities to fuck up on.

Goes for other disabilities too. Sometimes it seems like it’s “getting worse” when what’s really happening is that circumstances have changed in a way that makes the symptoms more obvious and detrimental.

VERY important advice. Don’t beat yourself up. Adulting is HARD.

This is very helpful to see thank you so much

[autie-girl-power]

This goes for people with autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, sensory issues or any other things too! (Not trying to take attention away from folks with ADHD, just pointing something out). Adulting is very hard and you’re all doing so well💕

Just a doodle of Scout and I (Tea) watching Noxemis play a video game called Hollow Knight. It’s a beautiful experience we recommend for everyone!

Doodles of the Hive System and I (Tea) driving in a car. Probably going to McDonalds haha.

Question!

Anyone know a good way to increase communication and decrease dissociative barriers in a system?

I know people journal but we’re looking for a no-money alternative. Financial situation isn’t all that great.

Feel free to reblog when replying so other systems can be helped too!

Squiggles - Hive System Doodle

A doodle of an alter in my partner system and I! One of his favorite games to play is to count the squiggly lines on his mattress. He’s so cute, I hope he’s found some other things to count at camp. I miss him dearly.

Sleep - Hive System Doodle

A doodle of an alter in my partner system, he’s more bug than man, and likes to call me his firefly. Here we are having a nice nap. It was the last thing we did together before he left for camp. I miss him a lot.

Reminder - Hive System Doodle

An alter in my partner system gifted me a golden heart locket to kiss whenever I missed him while he was away. While he’s away at camp, it’s the easiest reminder for me that his heart is by my side still. I miss him.

Surprise! - Hive System Doodle

This is a doodle I did for an alter in my partner system while he’s away at camp. I miss so much. I can’t wait for him to come home so we can bake cakes together.

The Hive and I - Process

Heyo~~ here’s some art of the Hive System and me, the girlfriend. Had to draw something nice because they’ve left for their month-long trip and won’t be able to talk to me that much. :’D

I miss them already.

Are there any parts without a specific task or role or reason to exist in your guys system?

I am pretty sure that every part in every system has a reason to exist, because otherwise they wouldn’t have formed. I don’t think the brain goes “Okay, I’m just gonna dissociate from this part of self for fun”. Some parts may seem to have no specific role / reason to exist though.

For example, we have a part who literally does nothing but feel bad, nap, snack and watch anime all day long. At first one may think “Well, okay. Why did your brain create him? What does he do to help you survive?” but there is a reason why he is the way he is. He gives us a break when we are overwhelmed. He also carries and deals with difficult emotions. At first sight it may look like he “doesn’t have a purpose” but his role is very important and we value him.

It’s also possible to simply not know the reason why a part exists. We have plenty of parts like this and it’s perfectly fine not to have it all figured out yet. Getting to know your system really well takes a loooot of time.

So no, I don’t think we have parts without a specific task / role / reason to exist, but we sure have many parts with unusual purposes that don’t neatly fit labels such protector, persecutor, gatekeeper, caretaker etc. and there are also a looot of parts whose roles we haven’t figured out yet. But there is one reason to exist that aaalll the parts in the world have in common: We needed them to survive.

And their existence is important.

I hope this answered your question. 🙂

If I advertise free burgers on private property, can I fine all who enter in search of free burgers?

Would I be covered because its private property so I could fine them or would the action of advertising burgers as free to all who enter give those who enter for the burgers permission to step foot on the land? Would the sign itself offer sanctuary to enter my land and expect burgers? Would there be legal consequences if I do not offer burgers?
