these puppies believe in you, and you should too

[positiveautistic-deactivated202]

It’s okay if you can’t relate to the posts saying that you are capable of doing whatever you put your mind to. It’s okay to not be capable. It’s okay to need help with things.

being a system is so weird because there are the people that won't believe you, people who will tell you you're faking it, sometimes the person telling you you're faking is literally yourself despite having someone fully co-fronting with you. like to look at an alter and still blatantly deny their existence is so funny and stupid yet we do it so often

you know what really fucks me up? the monetary cost of being abused. the chronic long term cost. trauma therapists are fucking expensive, they have specialized knowledge that most therapists dont. and that most other therapists will fuck up your treatment without this knowledge. not to mention DID is *very* specific knowledge. and you have to do this for years before you really start to get better. its not a one and done doctors appointment. THEN theres the stupidity of insurance. let me tell you, i hate insurance companies with every fiber pf my being. remember that specialized knowledge i was just talking about? that means specialized treatment….. that is not fucking covered by most insurance companies. whats fucked up is it can say the doctor is in your insurance plan, but when you get there the TREATMENT ISNT. so you get billed full fucking price. how in the goddamn hell does any american think the medical system is okay as it is???

Not only that, but the fact that abuse/ trauma makes you more likely to suffer from physical illnesses as well. Especially things like chronic pain and fatigue which are hard to diagnose properly, treat, etc.

This ^^^ great addition as well. Many people with trauma don’t know that somatic symptoms and chronic pain are actually very common. I have to be treated for that as well. Double whammy on the doctor costs its ridiculous

I dissociate to stay alive

[cptsd-kitsune]

dissociated during the trauma to survive it, didnt realize id have to keep dissociating to survive the aftermath forever

one of the least helpful things ive been told as a neurodivergent person is “don’t half ass things”

if you can quarter ass something, do it! if all you can do is clean a corner of your room, or only read one of the two assigned chapters, or write the heading for your resume, or put all the papers for taxes in a pile, do it! if today isn’t a whole ass day, take pride in the portion of ass that you were capable of

don’t let neurotypicals work ethic define how you did today

[pack-of-rats-archive]

Every time I see a post from someone talking about whether or not they let their alters do something my brain makes a record scratch noise and I -

You let them? So it's you and your alters? And you're automatically in charge because you're the host? Can you imagine having someone else in control of your life without you being granted any autonomy... even worse are the people who force other alters to do things they don't want to do.

Like hello? You're meant to cooperate as best you can and it's healthy to establish some boundaries, but every alter is an equal. Having DID is not being "a host with alters," it's being one part of a collective. You should treat your system with respect and stop seeing yourself as like... their supervisor.

Parents will choose to have children and then act like they're a victim of.......... Being expected to care for them

Im so sick and tired of tumblr syscourse. Its either endos or Systems™️

Endos are just stuck in a circlejerk of ableism and Systems™️ are just like “IF YOUR EXPIRIENCE ISNT EXACTLY LIKE MINE THEN YOU ARE FAKE”

I saw a system disregarding fictive/factive’s memories. Even people in our system that arent introjects have their own memories of their lives.

Not all systems think of themselves as “parts to a whole”. We like thinking of our system as all separate people.

DID/OSDD is different for everyone who has it. The only common thing among us all is trauma. We were all traumatized but the brain has different ways of coping with it.

can’t talk rn i’m doing hot girl shit

*dissociates*

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you can’t “ruin” 2021 by making hopeful statements about it, people on the internet are not making prophecies, bad things don’t happen because you dare to hope for good things.

I know all the jokes are fun but I would like to earnestly and sincerely remind you that none of it is real. Nothing anyone says, hopes or “predicts” about the year to come has the power to cause future events. You’re allowed to say that you hope 2021 brings good things for you. You will not be somehow punished for that.

Bitches be like “dissociative disorders aren’t real you’re faking having ‘alters’ you just want to seem edgy” bitch if I was faking I’d pick cooler people to judge my life choices at 2 in the goddamn morning
