static system

ID: A userbox with a black-and-white scale-patterned background. There is a black-and-white image on the left, which is a kaleidoscope-style pattern resembling a Rorschach ink blot. On the right, there is purple text stating: “This user doesn’t care about discourse around the validity of endogenics and would rather address misinformation about DID and issues within the DID community.” End ID

it's an added layer of difficulty that theres so many different ways CDDs can present. i feel like every system i meet and every system i read about has its own unique ways of presenting, which im assuming is because it's a complex series of adaptations to very specific stimuli & circumstances. but like the variance in peoples' lived experiences makes it hard to make blanket statements about systems (or even like, alter archetypes, for example)

like theres just so many ways a system can look. some people know about their alters as early they can remember & experienced them as imaginary friends or voices. some people go 20, 30+ years without realizing theyre a system at all. theres polyfrag systems with layers upon layers of subsystems and complicated inner workings. theres people whose alters have only a passing awareness of each other. and so on. Individuals might share a diagnostic label, but there might be little overlap in how they experience being a system

anyways This is a lot of rambling that's straying into different territories.. sorry my mind may not be all here LOL

Like maybe high levels of amnesia but lower level of identity alteration. High levels of emotional constriction but no memory disturbances outside of that. High levels of identity alteration but maybe less derealization.
