#system positivity

So I was getting some plants watered (we had them given to us sometime recently) and Clark (my headmate) decided to drop a source memory while I was doing it!

I don't remember the whole thing verbatim, but it was pretty much how he gave my self insert (not the first time he's dropped a source memory with me/my S/I in it and I'm positive it won't be the last) a blue lion watering can that she never stopped using! I thought it was so cute that I wrote it down as soon as I could—exactly what he told me, not a single detail being changed. He seemed so excited about it that I still feel the bleed through about it and how strongly our heart feels sometimes!

I can't blame him, I love that so much and I can't help but think about it still. Gotta be one of the most wholesome memories to just drop so far!

aawww!! after everything this was such a delight to read! i live for moments like this between headmates, showing how strong a bond can become with enough time, nurture, and mutual care and love. so many think there has to b e a constant disconnect or discord, but that is just not true.

thank you so much for sharing this, this made my day reading this! feel free to anytime, share any positive moments you both experience! /nf /pos

30 Days of DID

The non-parts-focused ask meme can be found here.

Day Two :

How do you experience DID? Do you find your symptoms manifest more physically, emotionally, mentally, etc?

Ooh! This one is cool!

I find our symptoms manifest pretty evenly all around—physically, mentally, and emotionally. For this answer, though, I want to talk specifically about how our (suspected) DID manifests physically.

We do occasionally feel headaches, but a more common symptom we feel is less of an ache and more of a pressure in our head. It isn't necessarily painful, but it is a bit uncomfortable. Usually, this feeling happens when we're especially dissociated or feeling mentally crowded. As for other physical traits that aren't necessarily "symptoms," we have pretty significant vocal fluctuations depending on our fronters (to the point our partner can notice a switch far before we do just based on our voice). That's honestly one of my favorite things to share lol.

While the ask meme itself isn't parts-focused, I do want to share some physical differences we have noticed depending on who is fronting, because it really is fascinating:

(Not like you could do an ask meme wrong when it's literally just for your own blog ← saying this because I'm insane and need to reassure myself for every possible action I make)

We're right-handed, but someone in the system is left-hand-dominant.

One of us is missing an eye in headspace. Whenever he fronts, my depth perception is totally fucked up. He's absolute shit at parking btw.

For someone with practically no vocal training (we did one year of choir in like middle school), one of us has an impressive amount of vocal control when singing. I don't think our singing voice is bad normally, but his is noticeably controlled.

I love system infodumping lol

Hii!! Hello!! Excited to answer actually!

for the question of if we use user alter roles/labels and how

Yeah we do use some widely used labels such I.e protector, prosecutor, caretaker, host, etc but I also use some more personalized labels for those who hold something more specific like those who present with more of my bpd symptoms those are my bpd holders for ex.

Other labels we use for some alters are regressor, symptom holder (for generic purposes), sleeper and stress incarnate (this one is for laughs lol)
