Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
Hello! Saw the ask a DID sys post and though we'd drop by. Personally we're curious- how do you cope with having so many beings in your system?
We're a collective of around 40-something at the moment, and we have reason to believe that our headcount will not stop growing, nor will it ever go down. This has caused some distress since we're not quite sure how that will work, and we already completely lack a clear roster of frequent fronters. We've been curious as to how others cope with "high" headcounts by most standards. (Although I recognize "cope" may not be the correct word, as it implies the high headcount to be a bad thing and not everyone would experience it as such.)
Hey! For us, we also have an unclear frequent fronter list and are frequently blurry. It was similar for us in a case where we would not stop discovering new members- and it still is that case for us. We try and cope with high headcounts by documenting activity from fronters whenever possible, along with adding various personal notes about them that may help us understand them better. We also try and establish their roles so we can better realize when they may be out- although it isn't always easy to find out, especially when a large number of them are unformed fragments. There's not exactly a way to 'cope', I'd say, but especially if there's a need for control, organizing and documenting them down definitely helps you feel more in control of your headcount numbers. Also to say, there's nothing wrong with having a high headcount. It's just a representation of how much your brain wanted and tried to protect you, no matter how much it took, even if its hard and stressful.
birther after telling us it was all our fault for not watching our cats while we were out with our sibling 🦄🦄🦄🩷🩷🩷🐺🐺🐺 (for reference, our two kitties got into a fight. they were separated and slowly reintroduced after a few hours. no issues since but we’ve been keeping an eye on them. we are aware of the cause and it is a one time occurrence that is easily prevented. neither are physically injured either.) (it was our birthday so we wanted to spend time with our sibling. birther watched us leave. guess who was with the cats??) going to love it when our therapist tells us it’s just how she is and that we should understand her point of view when we meet with them!!! -blurry

Yeah! We're doing great, thank you for asking! We told a friend (singlet) about our plurality recently and they took it really well, so we're in a great mood at the moment! Our birthday is also coming up, so lots of joyous occasions recently, lol.
What are some of your funniest memories from interacting with your headmates? - Entity
One of the funniest memories from interacting with my headmates would probably be that one time during therapy where some of us just started singing caramelldansen near front. We had to stop and compose ourselves for a moment as the current fronter was laughing their ass off, LOL. Thank you for the question!
obviously no overly personal questions (such as talking about trauma n such, in-depth information about alters, bodily information or anything of that sort that might put us at risk) but generally most things are fine.
hey! im opening up a q&a from a traumagenic did system to both singlets and systems of all origins! feel free to click the ‘send us giggles and shits’ button to submit a question! we’ll try our best to answer to the best of our ability. just this once, we are willing to discuss and share our opinions on controversial topics among the plural community, given it is a CIVILIZED discussion. however, if these conversations end up turning sour, this will be removed promptly.
can our soupy brain stop summoning people i don’t need more people in here
