The Rooke System

Yo if anyone doubts the legitmate of DID, atleast don't call it fake or attention-seeking. This is hella damaging and just makes it harder for folks with DID to get the help and support they need. But, you know what? MRI brain imaging shows that DID is real and detectable, this is just the first tangible proof i discovered and there is a lot of resources for educational/research purposes too.

It's really important to recognize our struggles of people not believing us and how most of the society demonize/deny it, we just want people to accept as who and how we are,, not to hear that you 'know' more than us, or ask those stereotype questions, or try to prove it.

I just want people to just be mature and listen and support for once ok?? like how hard is that, for those who don't have DID to do that.

You’re all good. There’s no catch. You’re still not faking DID even if your brain is silent.

Taken from something i noticed in day-to-day living since months ago.

Some systems have partial blocks, not remembering close friends names or frequent fronters' favorite foods when asked.

Some systems have full blackouts to where alters aren't aware of any external elements prior to fronting and learning them.

Some systems forget memories and traumas. Some systems have alters that shove away memories so those who can't handle the information don't see it.

Sometimes alters won't even know there is amnesia within their system.

Sometimes they won't know what they've forgotten.

All amnesia is not equal, however, all amnesia is important to acknowledge.

Amnesia is tough to work around but you can work through it. You can improve system communications and healing.

Keep your head up.

Yes, and for those who are diagnosed by a psychiatrist, you did not lie or manipulate the fuck out of the person to have the obvious answer.

Being a system is not naturally nor inherently bad, it did what it had to,, to protect you all and us.

Sincerely from a system who self diagnosed and accepted the truth years ago.

to all anger holders:

you are loved. you are important.

you play a very important role, that we think you should be proud of. it's okay if you're not proud of it. but we are proud of you.

you are not evil. you are not wrong. you are not a ticking time bomb.

you are valid, you are loved, you are wanted.

you are more than just your role, but your role is still important. an important job, that isn't always easy to handle.

even if you are not proud of yourself, we are proud of you.

it's okay if you don't always handle your anger in the most appropriate or healthy ways. I encourage you to try and learn healthy coping mechanisms, but that's difficult. it's okay and entirely normal to slip up.

you are allowed to be angry. it's healthy.

your role is important.

yeah, you.

let me tell you a secret.

it's perfectly okay to struggle with looking in the mirror. identity issues are normal. if you don't see yourself, it's because you're looking at everyone, not just you! it's okay to be startled sometimes when you see the body.

i don't see this talked about much in system spaces but it's something a lot of our system struggles with and i wanted to put that out there, cause yeah! it's hard sometimes to know who you are and not be able to express it. on the flip side, if you don't experience this at all, you're still just as much of a system as anyone else.

Me: * laughing anxiously from multiple alters who are actually interested in different things * “Yep, thats right,, i have a lot of interests thank you for the compliment..”

systems, my comrades my chums, my good time pals

don't talk about other alters or stuff involving other alters without their permission

I know you all share a body but please still be mindful of other's privacy. This involves trauma they went through, their triggers, their orientation and gender identities, as well as like their existence period.

I am not saying sharing information is bad, I am saying that you should ask permission to share that info, even if it seems small and unimportant

okay goodnight you swaggy babes
