To the brand new discovered system, or in some circumstances, the host or alter who didn't know about the system and now they suddenly do...
It's going to be okay. You're going to be okay. I know it feels like you're losing your mind, it feels like you're going crazy maybe. It feels like everything you thought you were and liked and understood about yourself is wrong, disappearing and running out of your hands faster than you can understand. I know.
You might feel lonely, you might feel scared, you might feel comforted or finally supported, knowing that there was more to it all and that you can finally start understanding your selves better.
Please take your time- you have been like this, a system, your whole life, it's not going to change suddenly to being a singlet. Yes, even when your system or headmates go silent. They're still there.
Don't push boundaries. try different things, be okay with things going slow. Remember to be respectful in your eagerness to learn more. Remember that there are things you don't know and you don't understand and it's all for a reason. You have time. You have your whole life.
You are valid, you are okay, I'm sorry it's scary right now, you will be okay.
Journal or write or record or text and talk to people you genuinely trust and can be there for you. Online spaces can be nice but be careful.
I repeat, online spaces can be nice but be careful.
Don't share triggers or information about alters and yourself on here for the public to see. Maybe make the posts private, keep them in drafts, or download an app that allows you to post privately like mytter. Keep your cards to your chest. Protect your system. Show them you are safe and you want to keep them safe.
You can do this.
