as a pDID syshost , it feels selfish , but i do wish i was a DID system instead sometimes. Its stupid to wish for such but pDID is always pointed out to be "less valid" , "less of a system" and whatever. Its tiring to keep going through loops of doubt if my alters are really real or am i making things up just because i cant accept the fact its PARTIAL for a reason (⁠╥﹏⁠╥⁠)

I understand if you don't wanna do the gods one lolol

Specific Alter Flag Requests ! pt. 3

These flags are for CDD (complex dissociative disorder) systems ONLY. Do NOT use if you are a "non-disordered system", endogenic, or an endo supporter. Systemhood is part of a mental disorder, not an identity you can adopt.

-The lullaby collective, on anon because we're a sideblog sigh

Hello. Thank you for your request. I did all options, so if there’s more than ten of the userboxes, I’ll probably post the rest in a reblog.

[above image ID/text: A userbox with the image being of a pink pastel bed and the text saying ‘this [noun] is sleepy . . .’, the first using ‘alter’, the second using ‘head-mate’ as the noun, the third using ‘system-mate’ as the noun, the fourth using ‘part’ as the noun and the fifth using ‘facet’ as the noun.]

Hey anon, Realising you are a system is extremely tough. It's going to put everyone into a spiral, and bring up a lot of unwanted memories and feelings. But after the shock wears off, things will get better. Things are going to feel pretty overwhelming for a little while when you adjust to this new perspective of yourself, your life, and as you learn more about yourself. But once you adjust, things will get 100x better. System communication will improve, you'll learn how to designate tasks and responsibilities, and with therapy you all will be able to work together and a team. I hope thing are better for you now anon, I wish the best of luck to you all 🫂

My heart is racing I feel nauseous I think I'm a system? or part of one? I can't tell if I am I came here from a website for help with these things and don't know what to do next. I am trying to stay calm though I've had different "Parts" to me as I called them since I was little, different "Me's" that would pop up or talk or something. I thought I was just weird like that like "oh yeah, I just have like, multiple faces" or "I'm really moody and change everything a lot" but then I made friend's with a system a little while ago and they started to make me think about it I've known of systems and DID/OSDD for a while, but never thought I was one and nobody pointed it out. I thought everyone had multiple streams of thoughts, opinions, and conversations with themselves. Maybe they do? But we talk and have opinions about the others? I have no idea whats going on and would seriously appreciate help

Hey anon, I can't tell you whether or not you are a system, but regardless it seems you are experiencing something that is distressing to you, and you may need help with. I highly recommend looking for a therapist who is informed on dissociative disorders so you can get the answers you are looking for. I suggest looking for trauma informed/focused therapists, as they usually are also trained on dissociative disorders. I wish you the best of luck ! Try to keep your mind open about what you may be experiencing until you can talk to a therapist/psychologist, but also make sure to advocate for yourself. If a doctor is telling you something, or diagnoses you with something you feel doesn't fully encapsulate what you are experiencing, keep pushing to get all of your needs met and worries expelled !

This blog has meant a lot to me and I will always come back to it when I'm feeling down.

I hope you are doing okay and I wish you the best of life. You are amazing and deserve the best. Thank you so much.

Hey anon, I always get so happy when I see these asks. I'm so glad this blog has helped others, and I'm hoping to continue to help others now that I'm back from my hiatus.

so. weve known we are a system for about 2 years now. its a major part of our identity and it has caused us a lot of ,, suffering. as it would.

but we recently told our therapist about this. and he responded with "self diagnosis is dangerous" and "sometimes people mold themselves to fit certain diagnoses" and,, I get that but now im really worried ive been wrong. i know its okay to be wrong but,, i have so many symptoms and so many experiences to the point where if it isnt DID then i dont know what else it could be. he said ill be doing an assessment on wednesday and im anxious. what if im wrong?? what if ive been ,, hallucinating my headmates this whole time?? or daydreaming?? ppl close to me are saying they believe i have it because what theyve seen but they arent professionals so... bfihindjsfdkjrn idk. i dont Want this disorder but being wrong would mean ive spent so much time trying to heal something that was never there. so much time talking to people that never existed. which is horrifying honestly...

Hey anon,

While it’s true in some cases that self diagnosis can lead some patients down the wrong path, it’s unprofessional for a therapist to begin a conversation about a diagnosis in this way.

Clearly you are bringing this to him because it is a very real concern you have, and have had for some time now. He should not have brought this up before even starting assessments, because he is clearing trying to set up a path where you are malingering this disorder before he even knows if you have it or not. He should have taken your concerns seriously, whether or not you end up having the disorder. It should be a therapist’s job to listen to the patient’s concerns, run assessments (or direct the patient to someone who can), and begin a treatment plan based on the patient’s subsequent diagnoses.

If you end up doing the assessments, and he says you do not meet the criteria, please make sure to have it thoroughly explained why. Ask him for what his opinion is on your true diagnosis. If this doesn’t feel satisfactory, or it feels your treatment is falling short of your symptoms and needs, there is nothing wrong with getting a second opinion. This should be done in any case of medical care, mental or physical. The most important thing is making sure you are being supported in the ways you need, and that you feel you have a clear path to healing and recovery.

I wish you the best of luck anon, and I’m sorry to hear your therapist implanting so many fears and worries into you 🫂
