Obsidian Cards Tutorial

okay, i keep hearing people talk about obsidian and i haven't seen anyone else explain this so tutorial time wahoo

create a new base, change the layout to cards

now your gonna want to go into whatever headmate profile ur using. Type --- and name the file whatever you want, I'll do "image"

copy and paste your image link into the property. this must be from an image host.

Go back to the table, then click the "image property" and change it to your image name.

Tada! Add images for all your profiles.

To add details

add another property, and write whatever info. go back to your base and add your new property. you can do this for whatever info you want.

Hi!! I wanted to share some cool stuff I've been able to do with obsidian for system info keeping!! :]

Using this post as a template for my alters, with some "alter"-ations of course ^^ I've been pretty pleased with how things look so far for the profiles that are most complete!

Here's some examples of other fields in the template too!! I really like how detailed it is, it's nice to have a place to store all this info.

Worth noting : Obsidian is offline and keeps all the info on your device (though there are ways to sync your info across devices). This has pros and cons! For me personally I loved using octocon to share info with my partner, but having it all private takes a lot of stress out of keeping trauma and trigger details in profiles (which I'd like to! It helps us to keep the info we know written down!).

Here's a front log and chat feature we got from this post!! Sorry for the crude language erm. That's just how those two talk.

The front log is really nice to us and easy to edit times and such!! Plus it links to the alter's profile. We haven't used the chat too much yet but it looks nice :] you get to choose what color your name shows up as!

Another thing we like about obsidian is that we have a place to keep all of our flags and stamps and blinkies and dividers and ough!! Everything!! And storing images in obsidian makes it really easy to then use them in alter profiles :]

Last but not least we also use obsidian to track other mental health things. We have a lot of trouble remembering things like when we've last eaten or showered because. Disability. But. Using that same table from the front tracker we now have an easy way to track these things!!

I'm really happy about obsidian being so customizable :] I'll miss octocon for sure (having been using it since the app was up and running), but having a solid offline place to store this info until I have an online place for sharing info is relieving.

Well. We still have to transfer a ton of info yet. But still.

thanks for sharing this!

drunk DID experience (dissociative identity disorder)

hello world. i have DID and i was wondering if this is a common experience for systems. whenever i am a very specific alter, i cant seem to get properly drunk. i SOUND drunk, and i talk drunk, but i dont get the visual affects that accompany the drunk experience, so it just feels like im drunk while sober. sorry i know that doesnt make much sense. it ONLY happens when i switch to a specific alter. am i the only one? (it also kinda feels like being hypermanic but i know its specifically happening when i am drunk)

[untanglingknotsinarope]

did system here. we experience different tolerances to substances. with alcohol specifically we also have some alters that just maintain a kind of sobriety regardless of how much we drink. i think for us it’s partially related to how hypervigilent those alters are. we also experience intoxication differently. some of us feel it more in our body and others it’s more of a mental thing

Trauma doesn’t always look like flashbacks or panic attacks. Sometimes it looks like exhaustion. Sometimes it looks like irritability. Sometimes it looks like avoiding things you don’t even know why you avoid. However it shows up, it’s real.

[pilotofstarshipfables]

And shame. So much shame for acting “crazy” and a host of other socially unacceptable labels. Right now I can only sit with it and be glad of the gasps of free air when they come.

We don't mind, and in fact enjoy, answering questions about DID because when it comes from someone we know personally, it's a love language to want to understand us and our experiences, when it comes from others, we're happy to see people being more accepting rather than stigmatizing it, and for our own sake in both cases, it helps us reflect on and think through how it affects us and our life.

Win/win/win.

[untanglingknotsinarope]

we relate to this a lot! answering questions for those close to us was really helpful in making more sense of ourselves and our experiences. and also providing more clarity for folks in our lives. and it really is a bonding experience that we cherish
