#system split

we love when it's usually one extreme that causes it, but instead it's a different extreme... it's nice to have something that isn't just like, kinda tied to a sad event.

-formed

A suffix referring to how or why a specific alter formed, view themself as having formed, and/or are viewed by others in-system, in their system. For example 'Stressformed', would refer to an alter that formed because another alter(s) or the (sub)system as a whole was under stress.

They can also have to do with the alter's feeling about why they exist. For example, an Introject who died in source may consider themself to have been reborn into the system, and as such consider themself 'rebirthformed' ,or similar.

Its taken me probably about 2 years to get to this point and its taken documentation, constant asking myself questions and so much patience

These questions include

Who am i

What names do i resonate with

What do i look like inside

Where am i from

What do i remember

What is familiar about where im at, and have i fronted here yet(often asked at work or in my current home)

How do i know the people around me

Do i particularly like or dislike something

What are my base emotions (alters cant be boiled down to singular emotions necessarily but some tend to experience one more than others and it can help section them off)

How old are they

How many are there

Can they speak or are they semi-verbal, mute, or do they talk in ways that arent words(some use music or animal noises or just communicate telepathically)

There are loads of other questions and its not like i go through the entire list every time but things like this have helped me figure out a lot more about my system. It's about who affects what, what triggers who, and how everyone navigates the world and why.

What’s the funniest/most unfortunate/what have you time you’ve split?

I’ll start. Watching the new Mission Impossible. In the theater. With our mom right next to us.

The whole split didn’t happen during the movie (it didn’t stop until the next morning), but that first hour-ish of it was a //trip//

long story short we have an alter who is an introject of our abuser and we thought was just kind of only there as a means to berate/upset our system members because it’s what we were used to back home and ig was ingrained into our brain.

turns out that during this split, this alter kind of fragmented and now we have another alter (we think with the same name) who seems to contain all of our past anger and a lot of our trauma. the original alter just seems to be super fragmented now? like not even an alter anymore?? just like a collection of emotions and parts??

our internal communication has been pretty screwy recently because of a fight between alters so this is just the information I could kind of gather??

honestly no idea what’s going on so advice is very very much appreciated /g

I would like to introduce to you, our newest system member -drumroll please- Claire!

She is an introject of the creator of a YouTube channel that the system often goes to for comfort, so I guess it makes sense that she came to be during this stressful time (especially since I've been watching the channel more often).

She is fully aware of the system and our terms, and even wrote herself an intro the first time she fronted. I will post her intro separately in a few minutes.

Please be nice to her! She is a very kind and lovely lady!
