System challenge (impossible edition): don't switch out for the entirety of a horror movie
Update: someone put a whole spoon of hot chocolate powder in our mouth 😭 😭
Plural culture is not realising you're reading a book out loud until 10 pages in and when you try to stop getting yelled at because you were putting your headmates to sleep
here's your reminder to be proud of your nontraumagenic friend today!
whether it's a fellow headmate, alter, part. whether they're traumaendo or mixed origins or willogenic or so on. whether they're you're best friend or a mutual on tumblr.
be sure to let them know that there are people that support them for who they are!
My imposter syndrome for diagnosed DID went away when my answer for "Oh God what if I'm faking what if I'm just so mentally ill and making it all up?" Became "If I think I'm plural I can just... Be plural. No prerequisites, no trauma needed. I can just be comfortable with what's going on in my head."
Thank you endo systems ❤️
saying "who said that" at the end of a sentence is a lot funnier when you're plural. who DID say that
Bonk hehehehehe
inside of you there are two wolves. one is a moron. the other is also a moron. you are plural
Hey, mildly specific positivity post, but...
Throwing some positivity towards systems whose pre-syscovery experience was having a "mean voice" or a cruel "voice of reason" who told you horrible things or parroted what others had told you prior. ...That voice turning out later to be an alter who you now had to learn to work with to stay functional, especially after the traumatic period passed and their role waned in necessity. Positivity to those who used to have multiple of these voices/sides.
So positivity to the alters who were that voice of hostility and then evolved. Positivity to the ones who still act like that. Positivity to the ones trying to get better. Positivity to the ones who aren't trying because they aren't ready or aren't safe yet.
Positivity to the alters who had to bear the brunt of that behavior and have rebuilt that relationship. Positivity to the ones that bore the brunt of that behavior and haven't repaired that relationship. Positivity to the ones trying to make it better and friendlier. Positivity to the ones who can't fix it yet but want to. Positivity to the ones who don't want to make it amiable.
We were maybe a third grader when we could hear an unrelenting, methodical voice that told us we were worthless. It talked to us like a second person, and that voice eventually became Chatter B. We'd taken note of it in a moment of clarity once on how odd it was to hear a voice talk to me so harshly, but not 'as' me. I called her Reason. She was the first.
She's since changed shape and form, even changed name a couple times, seemingly fused with others, fractured again, and became the now meshy orbit of around ~10 we see her as today. But I love ya, [name Redacted], you were an asshole but you kept us alive. Props for that. I'm glad we can move on now that shit's over <3
created systems and plurals, as well as anyone with a created headmate, alter, or part....
no matter how hard people try and push you out, you will always have a place on this blog and within the nontraumagenic community.
if one wishes, they may reblog this post if they feel similarly.
imagine how cool it would be if plurality had the visual effects it's dramatized to have in fiction. like if your body's eye colors would change as you came on and off of front. that would be wicked
