The disorder tags have become completely unusable due to hateful assholes. So we're proposing a couple more tags. (We put forth the "#survivor systems" tag due to the same thing happening with the trauma survivor tags.) We're proposing "#true cdd system" and "#true cdd community," "#true did system" and "#true did community," and "#true osdd system" and "#true osdd community." The hateful people who have made the disorder tags unusable tend to imply that those of us who are tolerant of other forms of plurality aren't actually CDD systems. Hence the "true" part of the tag. Just because we aren't hateful doesn't mean we don't have CDDs. We'll see if this catches on, but we're hopeful that we can find a community around our disorder that isn't defined by hating another group for existing. We shouldn't have to do that, but apparently we do.

Therapy today was... rough. I ended up talking a lot about our medical trauma and how it resulted in foreshortened sense of future and how we've been repeatedly retraumatized without ever really getting to heal. I don't think I realized just how huge an impact that has had on our mental health. It's just been really fucking hard. And it's not anyone's fault, no one is to blame for this, (nearly) everyone with a major role in the whole thing has been sincerely doing their best. It's just the way things have gone. I'm just sort of raw still. And I feel absolutely terrible for Blue, the alter we split because of the initial diagnostic slog. I am exhausted and drained and so is he.

Adaptability Is the Skill That Saves You When Plans Fall Apart

We have only rlly celebrated the vessels birthday but we have been thinking of picking birthdays for ourself so we can all celebrate them separately

I hate impostor syndrome. It's the most frustrating thing. Like... we're here. The fact that we experience plurality makes us plural. Not the disorder we have around it. Yes, we have DID. And sure, maybe our system is traumagenic. Then again, maybe our system is endogenic. Don't know, don't care, that's why we're quiogenic. The fact that we experience plurality is what makes us plural.

I put together a community for CDD systems whose system/sysmate's origins are mixed or endogenic. The DID tags have become extremely stressful to try to navigate as someone with a diagnosed CDD whose system is quiogenic and whose headmates are mixed origins. I wanted to make a space for us that isn't flooded with hate. I'm very disappointed in the people who have made the tags so toxic. We hope to alleviate that
