I need some advice, and am sending this to as many blogs as possible to get diverse opinions. Feel free to delete if this is too confusing, or not something you wish to answer.

I have a system, who are all distinct and separate selves, and I consider myself just one part of that system, a singular system member. Sometimes, though, I feel like I, myself, have separate, smaller parts, selves that feel more like literal "self states". There's the musical one, the organizational one, the little one, and the conflict-resolver one (and possibly more?), and I'm not quite sure if these self-states count as alters or parts in a "members of a system" sense. They definitely, most times, feel like just me in different moods, but sometimes I feel they connect more with how people describe system members / alters. Are these parts/alters? How can I tell? And what could that mean for the other, more distinct selves/alters?

Hi! We’d say that this could be a couple different things:

First of all: it’s normal even for singlets to have different emotional states. Someone’s “happy self” may feel totally different from their sad or angry selves. Individual alters in systems can also have a range of emotions that they experience! So if I feel determined, for example, I may act or behave differently than I would if I’m feeling listless. I’m still an alter in a system, and I’m not a subsystem just because I experience different emotions or emotional states.

Second: some people’s systems do exist as multiple versions of the same person. We think this sort of thing may happen in OSDD-1A systems (but we’re not educated enough to say for sure)! If you feel truly disconnected or separate from these other selves, you may be collectively a subsystem.

Subsystems are basically a system within a system, or an alter who has alters themselves. From what we understand, they usually form this way as a means of hiding or covering up large or particularly heavy traumas that the rest of the system is not able to handle or process effectively.

I guess we’d recommend for you to spend some time trying to get to know these other selves to better understand if they really are separate system members rather than just different moods or emotional states. At the end of the day, if calling yourself a subsystem helps you and works best for your system, you’re welcome to do that (or at least question if that experience applies to you)!

For anyone who reads this, remember that having different moods, emotions, or separate emotional states is usually not a plural experience in and of itself! It’s completely normal, even for singlets and individual alters, to feel different or like a different person when you’re experiencing distinct emotional states. It comes with the territory of being a living, breathing, emotional being.

Thanks for reaching out! ^^

Do bad thoughts manifest? Law Of Assumption

Do bad thoughts manifest? Law of Assumption I stumbled upon a perplexing question in a Facebook group that sheds light on common misconceptions about the law of assumption. Let’s delve into this query and discover why delving into the source material, rather than relying solely on YouTubers and coaches, can lead to greater clarity. The original question sparked a flurry of responses, showcasing…

Another way to Create Your Reality

One of the definitions for the word: “Realization” is, “the fulfillment or achievement of something desired or anticipated”. This was a word that took a little time for me to reclassify within my vocabulary while I was pursuing my degree in mysticism. It makes so much sense though, to realize is to literally make something “real”, at least in the sense of the word as we understand it. It’s to…

"why should I get invested in shows if they'll just get canceled" I was deeply invested in Heroes (2006) and it was not canceled, it just got really terrible. I also got really invested in the sandwich I had a few weeks ago despite it only lasting like 15 minutes. You must embrace the ephemeral. You must be willing to love things that may not love you back, that might betray you, or that may die an untimely death. As the great philosopher Mr. Mitchell Lee Hedberg said "I'm not gonna stop doing something because of what happens at the end."

#now granted he did die of a drug overdose but you know. one can take the good lessons #anyway. point being i understand being deeply frustrated with the state of the tv and film. #but also we can admit that for every gem canceled there's like three real duds too #idk if you want something that's guaranteed to have a bunch of seasons and you know the ending for go watch shows from the 70s #the number of adults on this site who lack the emotional wherewithal to watch an ongoing narrative is. yikes. #queue

Honestly the cliche advice is true. If you fill your life w things you’re passionate about, if you challenge yourself every day, if you give your own opinion of yourself more weight than you do other people’s opinions of you, you will actually thrive. Like no one can tell u anything

#I’m just in a whole state of mind rn #there will always be ppl who try to bring u down but pursuing the things u love will help u rise above it. #I absolutely still get anxious / annoyed at things but I’m over it sm faster. and soon it won’t bother me at all. #or at least it’ll have a healthy duration. bc negative emotion isn’t always bad. negative emotion is important and we should not ignore it #but overall!! preserving my energy better. just need to work on my knee jerk responses & I’ll be set #text

it's actually terrifying how quickly the concept of self care (originally a radical concept rooted in the black panther party's efforts to support other black ppl living through racism) became another tool of self-management which is viewed as both a moral obligation + an individual responsibility. businesses + employers + other institutions now easily wield it as a progressive way to say "if you're upset about xyz, make yourself get over it". "we are going to treat you like shit + you need to learn how to cope with that or else you're doing something wrong"

i have seen job listings where "ability to practice self care" was listed as a requirement for employment. as a case worker, we were repeatedly drilled on "self-care" as a response to unconscionably high case loads, traumatizing experiences, dead end job obligations, + poor living conditions due to subpar pay/high stress. my clients would go to appointments regarding their evictions, food insecurity, active domestic violence situations, etc + receive tips on "self care" without any tangible community, legal, or structural support to follow.

everyone absolutely deserves to care for themselves + it is useful to circulate affirmations + advice on how to do this. this should happen within communities, through a sincere concern/love for one another, as a way of helping everyone live the best life possible while we work towards total liberation. it should not be a replacement for caring for one another!!! it should be one of many ways of caring for one another!!!

#they once made me go to a training about how to turn off your feelings before working with institutionalized clients #literally stating that empathy + emotions are what cause burnout when working in the mental health field #i wish i was making that up i really truly do #i probably still have screenshots lmao #anyway remember when i was institutionalized myself because i was too good at turning off all my feelings??? #cuz i do. #anti psychiatry

i know it's been said many times before but i will never get over how jacob anderson, a british man with a british accent, not only nailed a louisiana creole accent but also developed a studiously (almost eerily) generic accent that louis uses in the present AND showed the first accent bleeding into the second accent at key moments as a way of aurally externalizing his character's inner journey. what did god put in this man when she created him.

#in some ways his accent work reminds of when i studied Shakespearean acting #i.e. using the minutiae of character's language choices to reveal their mental/emotional state #jacob anderson reinventing folio work but he created his own folio

I don't know what this is all I know is that LimL Joel makes me really emotional

#I know he has a tendency to go deranged on his red lives but idk something about him beginning to lose it after Jimmy died and killing Grian #joel smallishbeans #smallishbeans fanart #trafficblr #Again its his red life shenanigans but... If only Jimmy had known how affected someone was by his death. I'm choosing to believe this #and him then going out like a sad pathetic wet cat even with Grian's sacrifice... He really deserves a win one of these days lmao please #Also I cant stop thinking about how Jimmy wouldn't have left him. Grian was sensible to and most players probs would have #Joel really does become a lost cause so its fair and Grian did still care (and went to say goodbye as well as sacrifice his time for him) #But Jimmy would have stuck by even if Joel were in this state (and they'd both get themselves killed pathetically but) #And Joel having shown such genuine care for Jimmy and concern over his limited time... man anything w Jimmy makes me so emotional lol #I love them so #oh Ig about the art itself. I dont like it but hey thats how it tends to go when you try smth new. And no shame in trying #but if one person likes this then yayy I will still feel accomplished and happy #Im looking at this again and hey its not that bad actually yay I love to approve of my own art. self love hell yea #tubby art

As a newly minted system, I have no fucking clue who’s at front ever. I think maybe it’s just always me, but then sometimes my vibes change. Sometimes I tic and get a headache, but really the only indication of a switch is the change in my demeanor. My friends can tell much quicker than I can. And I feel like that’s not how it’s supposed to be, but I that’s all I’ve got. Just weird passive influences an my mannerisms. Unless I’m high. Then I can tell because I’m rapid switching.

I don’t really know what my question is… like is this allowed? I always feel like me, but sometimes I’m me with added bonuses. Sometimes I’m me but I’m also a little kid. Sometimes I’m me but I’m angry as shit. Sometimes I me but I’m really protective over myself and my friends. Idk how to explain. Is this normal to begin? I literally realized I probably have a dissociative disorder a week ago and only really took it seriously a few days ago (still have a lot of doubt and would love if this turned out to all be some silly nightmare/fever dream/me being dramatic).

hey, so we’re not going to try and diagnose you, and we can’t confirm whether or not you have a dissociative disorder. i will say though, that if you’re a “newly minted system” as in a newly created system, you likely do not have did or osdd-1 (as these disorders only form in childhood).

also, i think that having different emotional states is… a normal human experience. even singlets feel small and young sometimes, or explosive with anger, fiercely protective, bubbly and bouncy, listless and dull, and everything else in the spectrum of emotion. i think it’s relatively normal to have different sides of the same person, and for a singlet to have different vibes at different times and in different situations.

we like the rings system’s explanation for this - we’ll link their video so you can check it out:

if you still seriously believe you have a dissociative disorder, we would absolutely recommend you reach out to a therapist or qualified mental health professional, especially if it’s been causing you distress.

and you can check out our master post with resources for questioning systems if you would like to do further research (which we believe is necessary, especially if you’re going to attempt self diagnosis).

i’ll also mention that, with plurality, there isn’t really a “right way to be plural.” if you feel like plural language helps you and you feel like you genuinely experience multiplicity, that’s all it takes. but with dissociative disorders, there are specific ways they present, with specific symptoms that can sometimes be debilitating, and usually requires treatment.

you can totally be plural without a dissociative disorder, by the way. but having different emotional states doesn’t really point to having a dissociative disorder, and may not point to plurality either (since having different emotions is normal for everyone).

we hope this helps.

Reasons to play In Stars and Time: Canon Pronoun Warfare.

#in stars and time #ISAT #Siffrin #Loop #Context: early on you meet a character who tries to get you to use the royal We pronoun for them and you shut them down. It's great. #The gender swag and non-binary rep in this game is lovely. #I sketched this out when I was in Act 2 - and as of posting this I have not yet finished the game so *please* no spoilers. #It is rare for me to get into something spoiler free and I have been getting my shit rocked by this game in the best way. #Yes I *am* taking another detour to talk about a video game I love again. I will have some fun crossovers. Trust the process. #I will also do my best to pitch this game as spoiler free as possible. Because you *should* play this game: #ISAT is a very lovingly crafted RPG with very fun and emotional writing. #The characters are great and the mysteries you slowly uncover are intriguing! #The way the gameplay ties into the player's own emotional state is nearly always in sync with the protagonist. You *will* feel things. #And it is not afraid to let those things be hard emotions! Do mind the content warnings and know your limits though. #As someone who sucks at video games I also appreciate that it is so generous with your time and keeps things fun. #Not to mention it is honestly underpriced for the amount of content in it. Buy this game. I need to spread the brainworms.

ill be honest as much as i love to criticise the use of fatphobia for comedy ill never be able to hold the fatphobic jokes in kung fu panda against it

like yea those movies are guilty of dipping into The Usual Tropes for a cheap laugh but not only is the character writing for the fat characters the strongest and most sympathetic ive Ever seen literally just the character designs of the pandas in the 3rd movie get me choked up sometimes. theyre all so appealing and clearly treated with the same care and attention as everyone else without copping out and making them Barely Fat. po is already a size that doesnt exist in film protags and hes still the thinnest person in that whole village and that meant a lot to me

#i havent seen the movies in ages but the design of the ribbon dancer is sooo . AUGH #like not just to have that many fat characters but have them be REALLY fat without being treated as ugly or nasty #OR THEIR FATNESS BEING TEMPORARY !!! its their natural state thats how theyre meant to look!!!! #its easy to get caught in the thinking of like. having fat characters be a minority in a lineup to reflect 'real life' #EVEN THO that isnt always true but regardless #having a cast where the nonfat characters are so few and far between theyre hardly present at all. so fucking enriching 2 me #imo writing-wise the third one is by far the weakest but it still is just so important to me that they designed the pandas like that #can i kfp post on main is that allowed #idk i watched a video essay im emotional abt this again
