Does this ever happen to anyone else

NEVER date another system who makes certain alters feel like they can't front around jesus fucking CHRIST

[yourhealingjournal]

say it with me. your trauma is valid even if:

the ones who hurt you were/are traumatized individuals.

you are/appear functional.

it was not caused by a romantic partner or family member.

“it could have been avoided”.

no one knows about it.

“it’s not that bad”

other people had it worse.

someone went through the same experience and does not feel debilitated by it.

it occurred a long time ago / you feel just fine now.

the ones who hurt you have apologized.

be gentle with yourself today, folks. feel free to add.

I wish dormancy wasn't as demonized as it is

Especially on system discords

background.

I had come out of a 4-6 year dormancy in like December. I've seen it demonized so much. Yes dormancy can be sad and confusing but dormancy is a helpful thing most of the time.

So why do alters go dormant?

They may not be needed for the system anymore for example an alter who helped with school may go dormant after the system graduates. Trauma can make alters go dormant. Or they need a break.

So why is it so bad to demonize it?

It makes it sound scary to new systems even though it is a very normal thing for systems to go through. They may even have a dormant alter right now. It can also make it hard for them to ask for help or talk about it.

Shout out to systems who experience emotional amnesia!

Amnesia refers to the loss of memories - but part of your memory is the emotions of the moment. Amnesia isn’t just losing time; it can also be the loss of the experience, the feelings of the moment.

Emotional amnesia can be incredibly difficult to cope with, and all systems who do deserve some positivity. Remembering what happened, but feeling nothing about that moment, can be just as painful as the moment itself in some cases. I’ve seen systems grapple with their emotional amnesia, stuck figuring out how they felt, if at all, about intense childhood trauma.

Emotional amnesia is real, valid, and difficult. Shout out to every system who deals with it!

btw “osddid is miserable and causes issues in our life” and “I love my system and wouldn’t want to live without them” are statements that can both exist at the same time lol

it’s weird bc i always see people like “oh you have to be miserable if you have osddid” or like “oh you should be happy with ur osddid” or whatever and I don’t get it bc like humans are complicated and stuff so we can feel both ways at the same time yk? i dont get why we act like these statements can’t exist along side each other or only one of them is the right one. idk
