It’s like talking about alters as “whole people” makes DID more palatable for others somehow. If they can view us as just this quirky cast of characters who happen to share a body then it’s less sad, or maybe even less disturbing. They can reframe it into something that might even sound fun or beneficial to them, like “3 friends for the price of 1!”
I’m starting to think that viewing us as one whole traumatized person with many dissociated parts is just too depressing and too “weird” for a lot of people. It’s harder for them to wrap their heads around. They can’t grasp the way we are both disconnected from each other and still a part of each other. They can’t make sense of the way we overlap and blend together. We don’t fit into neat little boxes. We aren’t a straight forward cast of characters.
ugggg im falling in lvoe againngnnnnn

endos are all about not invading other community's spaces until it comes to traumatized systems that just want a place to post about themselves without endos
truly pissed off by endos trying to take over system punk
art post caus i think i totally did something cool
its based off the song "Secrets" by Mary Lambert
I've been relating to this song for years and even more so rn as I struggle so heavily with my bipolar and my dissociation
NPD culture is 'nobody has payed attention to me in an hour, I will go insane'
.
i think the worst part about being disabled is knowing that it’ll impact the way i go through my entire life and it’ll impact every single relationship i ever have.
it especially really hurts to know that i will never be able to live a full life without issues because of choices my parents made that resulted in me having disorders like dissociative identity disorder and ptsd. i will never be able to heal from those completely and its not even my fault. i’ll never have the chance to fully say this body is mine and always has been. and i’ll forever have to know that at any point these disorders could cause me issues with the people i care about and its not even my fault that i have these disorders. im not even responsible for why im like this. like i dont get to wake up and choose to be a successful person, i was forced into being multiple people by others actions. and that hurts so much.
Thank you for sharing your perspective. It really is appreciated.
why tf do endos treat being a system like its an identity that you can pick and choose to label? why do they constantly push the transphobic rhetoric of using "traumascum" to refer to traumatized individuals that just dont want people to treat their symptoms like its fun?
being plural/being a system is nothing like being lgbtq+ and i really think we need to stop treating it as such
yes we are a community, but this community is one formed on the basis of being traumatized as kids, its not based on something we choose to refer to ourselves as
we need to be there to support each other but not blindly. we need to help spread information to others with the symptoms so they can receive help.
you wouldnt treat people with personality disorders the way you treat systems so why is it acceptable to treat systems this way?
lost focus and had a consensual workplace relationship
we have been told by our stepmother that we will no longer receive gifts for the holidays after this year and now in true us fashion our littles want to riot
so any systems have some ideas for how to celebrate the holidays for the child parts? im thinking i might make a post of ideas later
