Introduction

Hello! We're the Strawberry Pack, we're a traumagenic system but we support non-traumagenic systems! Our host is Jamie and we don't switch, so Jamie is fronting at all times. We only recently realized we were plural, we thought we were just hallucinations as Jamie has pyschosis but hallucinations usually aren't as detailed and defined as we are, we're still learning about all of the members. This blog will mostly just be for saving stuff we like, or general plural posts, here's Jamie's website, where you can find out more about them and see their different blogs.

aggressive reminder not to tag plural if you are anti endo. plural is a catch all term and does NOT just include CDDs.

[permanenteclipse]

The first rule of plurality is to have fun and be yourself The second rule of plurality is to have fun and be someone else

Unstoppable force (ppl claiming you have to have trauma and a disorder to be plural) vs immovable object (us, who formed from trauma but have no diagnosible disorder)

ACEO #325: Houndoom

I was so afraid of ruining the outlines, but I think I managed to turn it into an acceptable card in the end. Or rather: A good card and an acceptable scan/photo. I don't know why they implemented it and forced it upon their users, but iPhones now autocorrect photos AFTER they have been taken and it looks horrible. And I cannot find a way to turn that off :(

P-DID : a dissociative disorder described in the ICD that is similar to Dissociative Identity Disorder, but rarely exhibits full switches. It is defined as having one dominant headmate with one or more non-dominant headmate(s), that primarily influence the dominant headmate or go co-conscious with them.

[brillianceofblue]

I referred to my headmates as 'the voices' for a while because I hadn't accepted that I was a system and their voices were the first symptom that was overt enough that I couldn't explain it away, but it's become a joke now

"the voices tell me to go to bed on time"

"the voices said I deserve a little treat"

"I'm fine, just chilling with the voices"

[sysmed-said]

don't use the word plural if you don't have a CDD.

yes i know plurality has nothing to do with dissociative disorders and was coined thousands years before the concept of dissociative disorders.

but i don't like endo's and it weaaally hurts my feewings when you use it pweease don't use it 😢

[sophieinwonderland]

Just adding here that not only was the original word "plural" already a common word, the specific application to people with multiple self-conscious agents sharing a body primarily started with non-disordered systems. At the time, most systems with dissociative disorders used the term "multiple," but non-disordered systems gravitated towards plural because they felt that the multiple had too strong of an association with multiple personality disorder. The use of plural was always about separating plural systems from more medicalized terminology.

[crossroads-system]

Just a few reminders:

1. Plurality exists and has always existed far beyond the narrow scope of a colonial medicalized lense. Denying/Ignoring/Invalidating cultural/spiritual/Indigenous knowledge and presentations of plurality is inherently racist.

2. Not everyone who experiences plurality has or meets the criteria for CDD/DID/OSDD.

3. Having separate/multiple altered states of consciousness alone does not meet the criteria for a DID/OSDD diagnosis.

4. The ICD itself mentions forms of non disordered plurality within the section of the boundaries with normality threshold.

5. Claiming to know more about someone's lived experience than they do does not make someone an advocate. It makes them an ass. Especially if said experience is mainly/largely an internal experience.

[adolfusraptor1985-deactivated20]

God, I wish some people would understand that plurality can often have NOTHING to do with dissociative disorders.

People's grounds for being "anti-endo" usually make no fucking sense. It's like saying therians aren't real. It's like saying trans people are delusional. It's like saying any other weird brain phenomenon related to your identity is made up.

Some people experience feeling like multiple people. Some people experience having multiple identies in one body. These experience don't need to have ANYTHING to do with disorders of any kind. They just- happen sometimes. Like every weird brain phenomenon related to your identity ever.

Why is it so unbelievable to be multiple people? When other's identify as literal animals and objects and concepts, is it somehow so radical to be plural?

Thinking to be multiple, one must have a dissociative disorder, is like saying to be an animal, one must suffer from clinical zoanthropy. Have you ever considered our brains just... do stuff because they're weird, and not because they're broken?

You can dislike endos using the word system. Fine. Whatever. But don't you dare try to take the word plural from us. "Plurality" is specifically meant to include everyone who experiences being multiple. Endos will never stop being plural. It's the definition of who we are.

[mesa-sys]

“only people with DID can use the term system” “created systems aren’t REAL - an endo” “technically you’re not really plural if-“

OHHHH MY GODDDDDD WHO CARESSSSSSS [hits my bong]

[freezingcoldsystemtakes-archived]

You are only a singlet if you have the diagnose

[freezingcoldsystemtakes-archived]

Willogenics are the only valid systems because they put in the work. They pulled themselves up by the bootstraps to EARN it.

[iridescentcollective-deactivate]

im sorry but as a mostly-traumagenic DID system? intentionally becoming a system WITHOUT trauma? is based as fuck. i love you willogenic systems godspeed <3
