the urge to dye our hair bright pink (fuck off trexel i know this is your doing /lh)

[warehouse-sys]

I keep thinking we should post on this blog more but I think that a) the fact we keep forgetting it exists, and b) we keep getting post ideas and then forgetting them again says more than any post ever could

We started playing Fallen London and aspects of it are similar to Sasha's life and she wants to replicate her life as closely as she can and I want to try and do other cool things so now we're locked in a silent battle for dominance. (I am going to give in and Sasha will get the route with the pretty dagger iconography)

Yes OSDD comes with forgetfullness and never having a general sense of what is going on but also last night I had a complete brain-blank walking between my kitchen and my bedroom trying to work out what it was I had forgotten that I had meant to do about thirty seconds previously and someone reminded me that I was going to put my laundry in so honestly what does it matter if I don't remember the first 15 years of my life, you know?

People need to understand that fictives aren’t their source because when Adam first split, he had multiple breakdowns to a friend about the fact that people were going to hate him. And he was right.

People need to understand that fictives aren’t their source because we got told off once for talking about Adam too much in the “wrong way”. As if he’s not literally a part of our lives. As if I shouldn’t be talking about him in a positive way when he’s not like he is in source. 

People need to understand that fictives aren’t their source because Adam doesn’t front as much anymore, he hardly even talks to us, when at one point a couple years ago, he was almost always at least partially in front. 

People need to understand that fictives aren’t their source because Adam’s memories do not align with source, and he is designed to protect us, and he will not be quiet to cater to members of a fandom.

Me, dealing with all stresses in my life currently by pretending I’m a member of the Weisenbachfeld household: 🥰🥰

Me when I suddenly hear Trina in my head: 🙃🙃🙃🙃

My life has officially been ruined by Torchwood for 2 months now. I’m kinda obsessed with the episode Adam so here he is!

[warehouse-sys]

Is it normal or common or whatever to be able to feel that a certain alter needs to front? We got really uncomfortable yesterday, still not sure why, but I could feel really clearly that another alter needed to be in front? I'm not sure how I could tell, it was just this really strong kinda instinctive feeling that he needed to be in front and then I got distressed that he wasn't fronting because we felt like he needed to. I would have said that this was just him wanting to front and me being able to feel it, apart from the fact that I don't think he was anywhere near front. I couldn't sense him near front or hear him, he wasn't communicating with me, I genuinely don't think he was even close to front. But yet it still felt like he needed to front. I can't explain how it felt in much detail because I honestly don't remember how it felt, I just know that I felt it. We were also kind of dissociating a little bit? Like, losing time in blocks of a few minutes and just generally feeling a bit off.

I guess what I'm asking is has anybody else experienced this? Was it him wanting to front, or was it me wanting him to front for some reason? I'm pretty sure we couldn't get him to front, in the end. We tried some positive triggers that we thought might work, but I don't think they did. For context, he's a fictive and we were engaging with his source at the time, and the feeling went away shortly after we stopped engaging with his source, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Guys how do you force a switch.

We feel really bad and weird and it feels like somebody needs to be in front. I’m not sure why but I’m like antsy and uncomfortable and it feels like Whizzer “needs” to be in front (maybe like he wants to be?) but he’s not near front I don’t think. I can’t hear him, I can’t feel him but it feels like he needs to be in front and I don’t know how to get him to front.

Are non-possessive switches found in DID and OSDD1 types, or are they only in one or the other? Or what?

Based on our other post and what people have said, non-possessive switches sound most like what we experience, but then does that mean that we can’t be an OSDD-1B system if we experience them? Or can almost any “form” of system experience non-possessive switches?

[candyrain-collective]

both did and osdd have both possessive and non possessive switches. there isn't a hard boundary with those things that make you either osdd or did. imo the separation of the two is less black and white than people think, and the diagnostic distinction doesn't really matter. only treatment does

[thestarseersystem]

Yeah, I used to believe that only OSDD systems could have non-possession switching, but apparently that does not account for dissociative amnesia in any way.

So I think it depends on how your dissociative barriers are structured.

For me, fronting and innerworld are heavy dissociative barriers within my system. So we sort of just exist in fronting and that's a part of my non-possession switching I think.

But those with more separation between alters, often controlled by a gatekeeper, they may tend to experience possession switches more.

Also, non-possession switching is not the same thing as passive influence. Passive influence is more so like emotional bleed and co-consciousness.

[warehouse-sys]

I don’t have a lot of experience with our innerworld, I think I’ve only entered it twice and that was only for a few seconds. My confusion comes from the fact that I don’t feel like I ever leave front, I don’t “black out” as is typically described, but I do have small gaps in day-to-day life, particularly if the day has been stressful or busy. I’ll be unable to remember what I did, or I’ll know what I did factually but not be able to “remember it” so I can’t visualise it or remember how it felt.

I do have periods of being in front but not “feeling like me” which I had originally assumed to be us either being blurry or co-con, but then recently I wasn’t sure if they were non-possessive switches or not.
