#dormancy cw

I was created for the protection of this body after our core attempted sui. She’s dormant. I think that’s where my anxiety stems from, because I literally only exist to protect the body from harm. Not myself, the body. There is nothing I fear more than death, but somehow my own nonexistence is completely meaningless to me. I can disappear and that doesn’t matter at all. But I can’t let things happen to this body because I’m not the only person who depends on it.

Cw/Tw: Small mention of dormancy

What is being Puzzle Plural?

Being Puzzle Plural is being a non-disordered plural who's plurality functionality may be explained because of neurodivergence.

One may be Puzzle Plural due to a variety of different reasons, some of them include:

• Using plurality to cope with direct or indirect mental illness/disorder symptoms by splitting up weak areas between members

• Identifying as Dealinggenic, Aidengenic, or any origins related to mental health

• Being dysfunctional as a singlet because your mental health becomes overwhelming and/or unmanageable

• Having your mental health decline/become unstable when in a singlet state

Terminology:

Some terminology of this term includes:

• Puzzle: May be used to describe a system, collective, plural, or any other related terminology

Have been seeing a bunch of anons on this and some otehr blogs saying that their "original" is gone or dormant. As someone who's relatively new to willomancy(even tho it's been 2 years, only around half a year ago I started putting full effort into willo'ing headmate), it makes me kind of uneasy. Is there something I need to keep in mind to be safe from that? Or can this happen only because "original" voluntarily dissipates(?)?

(I'm sorry if that's too rude or weird to ask about, feel free to ignore)

honestly it's hard to navigate questions like this because there's no way for us to know how your system will work.

but if it's comforting, we personally doubt anyone will go dormant unless they particularly want to. while the exact purpose and causes of dormancy vary from person to person, for us personally it's something mostly voluntary or as a result or not wanting to be active/around, and presents as the dormant alter sleeping until they return from dormancy.

with enough work with your inner world it's likely you could decide on these functions for yourself, but it's not something we could ever guarantee because we are not in your head, we don't know you, and there's no way we can realistically tell you what is or isn't going to happen with something this serious.
