#system workbooks

It's actually really nice. HOWEVER, there are 18 "Thought Challenging Questions for DID" and uhm. They do indeedy-doodle be challenging. I rolled a D20 instead of just choosing one. It asked for the support systems in place for as many alters as possible, so we're gonna try to remember to write our piece when we switch. (We'll see how that works out lmfaoooo)

There's also ~harder questions~ that I am so fucking glad I didn't roll. WTF do you mean What strengths does everyone bring to the table and how does that improve your life?????? That's such a hard question for us like wut not all of us even have a defined ROLE yet. WTAF. or How did my understanding of my alters evolve over this week??????

OR THE OVERCOMING NEGATIVE THOUGHTS SECTION OMFG THESE QUESTIONS HURT.

I always mess things up. Well, what successes can I acknowledge?

I'm broken beyond repair. Well, what strengths have helped me cope?

LIKE DUDE WHAT AHHHHHHHHH

But no, this journal workbook thing is amazing and bc its a PDF, we can print multiple copies of the pages.

No system mapping help though, beyond suggesting you try it and giving resources to help. BUT LIKE OMG IF I CAN KEEP UP WITH THIS (thanks ADHD~) THEN IT SHOULD HELP LIKE SO MUCH!!!!!

Also a list of beneficial habits? YES THE FUCK PLEASE???? Practice grounding techniques even when you don't need them in the moment? Why the fuck did we not think of that??????

Fucking yearly SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound) goals that also includes "How can I cultivate a stronger sense of self-awareness in my DID journey this year?"

Weekly Planners? "What small steps can I take this week to nurture my different identities' needs?" AND separating tasks into the 4 categories of urgent and important, urgent but not important, important but not urgent, and neither urgent nor important... which is a HELL OF A LOT LESS STRESS than a fucking checklist with no structure so everything seems urgent and important and its all overwhelming as fuck.

Daily Journal/CHekclist including how i slept, how i feel that morning, gratitude and affirmations, how my day went, how relaxed do i feel, and how would i like to feel tomorrow (WITH A FUCKING HELPFUL LIST OF IDEAS)

Weekly Recap including how do i feel about next week/how ready am i, moments that stood out, personal highlights, and lessons from my mental health

Monthly recaps with a helluva lot more that i dont want to type

habit and emotion trackers, both weekly and monthly (with space to add others. for example, the emotion tracker came with anxiety, confusion, anger, calm, and joy. i added frustration (usually hand in hand with anger, but slightly different), apathy, hyperactive, lonely, sad, manic (i have bipolar and if im off my meds its... well...), and irritable.

FUCKING MEDITATION EXERCIZES SPECIFICALLY FOR TRAUMA AND DID which i desperately hope my ADHD will work with... AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY RECOMMENDATIONS???

WTAF IS THIS WORKBOOK I LOVE IT SO FCKING MUCH AHHHHH

Anywhodie-who... This is long enough as is. But I've printed out several of the pages and have a physical journal for the guided journal prompts. Imma try to remember to start bringing it to therapy as a sort of check-in for the week before diving into whatever we're doing that week. GOD we've been meaning to start EMDR, but like my therapist pointed out today "You know, I've been making plans to start EMDR, but then you come in as a different person that I did not make those plans with..."

So we kinda all gotta come to a consensus about that technique.... But some of us are legitimately scared... I should make another post about that.... get some advice.....
