Helping you manage your CDD

Giving you the right to make informed decisions over what resources you use to help support your CDD. This is a blog dedicated to collecting and explaining resources that may help you navigate life with a Complex Dissociative Disorder (CDD).

A bit about the blog owner

My name is Partlan ( @partlans ) and my pronouns are he/they. You may know me from this post, the one that inspired me to create this account. After Simply Plural's discontinuation there became a massive gap in resources for folks with CDDs, and I'd like to compile the ones I know of somewhere that won't get lost on my little personal blog, and that somewhere is here! I intend to go more in-depth than I did in my original post, so stay tuned for that!

While not an app intended for tracking or helping with your CDD, it has found itself to be quite useful for managing CDDs.

The default terms used within this app represent its intended usage for world building and character creation (example: "Characters") and the default fields, which you cannot customise without a paid version of the app, are also very representative of such. However, they may remove some of that pressure of figuring out what information you should note down about your dissociative parts, despite not being intended for such.

I've found that "Characters" are good for part tracking and "Groups" are good for tracking internal structure, the likes of "Boards" are good for relationship & split tracking, while "Timeline" to be good for front tracking and, well, tracking your timeline. Here's a glimpse at some of the features and what they look like below!

I highly recommend playing around with the settings to find your preferred layout for this app. One downside is, unfortunately, due to having to play around with settings and discovering how you wish to use the app, it takes quite a while to set up.

There are so many other use cases for the features in this app and ways to customise it, I cannot possibly begin to cover them all in one post. Consider checking it out for yourself and/or share any ideas you have below!

A web app created by Multipled By One centred around providing information about yourself or dissoicated parts when you're in a crisis situation. However, the app may be use for personal tracking.

Privacy features are built into the app; allowing you to hide parts and set passwords for who can and cannot access your information. This offers the ability to share your parts and internal structure with a link and have it feel more secure. Or you may share information about you, bodily, via an emergency profile to folks who may need to access that information via a QR code and an optional password.

Infomation you can add to your emergency profile is as follows: Legal name, preferred name, system name, triggers, "how to help", diagnoses, emergency contacts and their relation to you, medications, providers, and a notes section to add any additional information - you may also add an image at the bottom, and choose a profile image.

Part and internal structure tracking has been made easy with this app. Once you click the plus buttong at the bottom of your screen and scroll up, you're greeted with a way to add a new part or subsystem (groups of parts) within the app. However, internal structure tracking may not work well for those with complex internal structures.

For adding parts, you have the option to add their name(s), age, pronouns, subsystem (group), role, mental health issues, health issues, triggers, signs of fronting, and a description which acts as a good "misc" field and a place to upload a profile image. Unforunately with this app you cannot add custom fields.

You may click the subsystem check box at the bottom right to turn your new alter into a new subsystem - which gives you the option to upload a profile image, add a description, and give your subsystem (group) a name.

While not as customisable as other apps, it offers an easy streamlined way to track part information and internal structure, and you can very easily choose not to fill out a field if you feel as if it doesn't resonate with your part(s).

No images of how susbsystems are laid out within the app due to personal usage of this resource. Sign up and check it out yourself if you wish to see what it looks like!
