I have so many thoughts and feelings I want to share with the world, hoping there’ll be others out there who can relate and understand me and we can all help each other— but I always wonder if I ever should…

Summer System Education Week!

Today’s prompt: System Communication and Innerworld!

Hope you’re okay with a simpler post today. I’m low on spoons and it’s been a rough one.

Innerworld Shit:

Our innerworld is incredibly complex while being completely straightforward.

It started as a round, grey room with golden circles on the floor. There was a white door that led to Rice, and me and Sierra would just take turns at the “fronting screen.”

Once Sie and Numb formed, the circles got a use. Whoever was in the middle-most circle was fronting. If a switch was incoming, that alter would move up a circle, until they were then in the middle, and the one who had been there moved back.

After some really fucked up shit in high school, the entire system just. Blanked out for awhile until College. We've got next to no memory of the last two years of high school, and the start of college is blurry.

Once we all came back from that big ol' dissociative barrier, the innerworld had expanded a lot. We were still in this huge circular room, but now there were two hallways. Those two hallways somehow connected back to each other, despite the fact that they went off in different directions, but whatever, innerworld physics and all. Down the hallway was the bedrooms (which all looked the exact same), but also a locked white door. That door was mine. It's heavily trauma related, cause I'm a trauma holder, so yeah I'm not going into that shit in a tumblr post lmao. Let's just say I went there when stuff went bad.

As time went on and we got better at talking to each other, our innerworld shifted some. The first big change was the jukebox, and the fact that oh shit there's walls now? Yeah that was a big stunning one, cause the "circular room" was just kind of... nebulous before that. Now there were concrete grey walls.

Once Deb came back from dormancy, a window opened up to the outside, right where she planted her garden. There's a whole city out there, though we don't know how to get to it.

Once LED formed fully, Sie and him got the Pillow Pavillion! It's this little wooden pavillion with pillows all under it. It's super great and cozy and all their toys are there and I stay there a LOT to play innerworld Stardew.

Curtis and Numb got their bedroom together, but it still looks the same as the normal ones. But when me, Deb, and Sierra all hooked up (me with deb and deb with sierra), our bedroom got expanded and changed CONSIDERABLY. Sierra's got her vanity mirror in there (it's fucking ridiculous) and our bed got MUCH bigger. Softer too (fuck you numb)

Once Ve formed, we got a cloud layer above the main room, where she lives, and has a goddamn TV. Wtf.

Now, the most up to date version of our innerworld features: The main room; Rice's room; Numb and Curtis's room; Me, Deb, and Sierra's room; bedrooms enough for like a million more people (plz no); the pillow pavillion; Deb's garden; Ve's cloud layer; Tavi's forest AND his library (WE STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACCESS THE FOREST AND I AM UPSET WITH THIS FACT); Roy's weight room (and apparently, just learned this, he's sharing that with Avery, so that's nice).

Whoo! That's a lot. Onto the next topic.

System Communication

We've always been baller at this. Okay, not FULLY true, but we've always been better than most. We like to refer to our system as "always co-conscious" because. Well, we're always a LITTLE BIT in the headspace at all times. No matter what, I can turn inward and see what everyone else is up to - unless they are VERY PURPOSELY blocking me out, or unless they're Rice.

Back in college, it was a lot harder? We had much higher dissociative barriers then, and we really saw ourselves strongly as multiple different people. Now, we've grown a lot, and our dissociative barriers are a lot further down, meaning we can see each other much better - we're all parts of a whole, and weirdly enough, that's made us so much more individual than we used to be. It's almost like not having as much amnesia between switches means we have more time to figure out who we are. Who knew? Lmao.

It's always been a little funny cause... A lot of the resources I've seen are stuff like "how to communicate with your alters better!!!" And I'm like. "Got that one down, next issue: how do I shut them up?" And uuuuh I usually just get a "that's unhealthy >:" in response. Which is frustrating but valid. But also, I see a lot of resources for systems who get frontstuck a lot, or systems who struggle more with amnesia between switches, rather than just amnesia always. And for us... We've ALWAYS been able to switch more-or-less on command. And that's always been a concern for us, because so few systems we meet are able to do that, and usually they say they can only do that with a lot of therapy.

For us, we talk to each other, and we figure out who's best to switch in. This happens about 85% of the time - the other times being triggers and such. Back when college started, that percentage was MUCH lower, but we were also super stubborn about "getting our time to exist" back then. Nowadays, we just... exist in the innerworld when not fronting, so it's fine.

IDK where I'm going with this - but it's technically Day 4 already, and I"m tired, and this has gone on for awhile. Just some thoughts for today's prompt!

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

#this is my experience so I know it won’t work for everyone #like all things there is no universal formula #we all have different capacities and capabilities #but I like sharing things that work for me in case they can also help someone else #studyblr #study motivation #study tips #university #academia #uni tips

Typing like a Pro!

I'm so happy because I have a laptop and phone keyboard I'm working on simultaneously at the same time. Now that I have my own laptop and one I no longer have to share with my spouse I will be pouring out content like crazy.

I will be able to write more blog posts for my Ko-fi page and work on other projects that are also of importance that I'm not ready to reveal as of yet.

The point is, I'm turning into a little businesswoman/social media influencer and activist for the neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ communities!

I love this and I can't wait to create more content, share experiences, and continue advocating!

Also thank you all so much for your love and support during these trying times, I've been feeling low as of late but the little community full of friendly mutuals I have here has been a huge blessing and one I'm truly grateful for! I appreciate every one of you!

not "i ship these characters" or "i want them to bond platonically" but a secret 3rd thing (I want them to be forced to interact by the Narrative bc they would HATE that)

#who needs romance when i can watch two narrative foils painfully tolerate each other's existence #bonus points if they are forced to Work Together To Solve A Problem #and they end up working surprisingly well together! #they make a surprisingly effective team! #they even confide some backstory with each other & bond a bit & understand each other better #and when it's all over they shake hands & amicably agree that they still cannot fucking stand each other #'this was an interesting sidequest & I'm glad we got to experience it. #but all things considered i genuinely never want to see your face again' #Enemies to Chained-Up-In-An-Abandoned-Bathroom-Together #to Enemies #two stray cats forced to share a cat carrier for a trip to the vet

reminding myself there are no truly "bad days", because every single day, someone somewhere in the world has taken a photo of an extremely tiny animal and shown it to someone else, and that's very good actually

#buny text #bless the people who take photos of incredibly small baby bunnies and post them on line. they are what keeps me going #when i was running the bunnieswithVGM twitter it was like. genuinely a healing experience getting to look at rabbit photos regularly #i highly recommend looking at pics of very small rabbits and thinking to yourself 'you tiny fucking thing. how do you exist' #it's very important and also fun. and then you can share those images with a friend #the tiny fucking animals on the internet are free and you can take them with you

I would compare our experience with DID to being in a classroom, except we aren’t learning math or english; we’re learning how to survive our trauma and exist as we are. Like a class, there’s cliques, gossip, collaboration, the occasional argument; but in the end, we’re all in this together.

Ohh, I like this metaphor a lot! It really does fit. Thank you for sharing what having DID/OSDD looks like for you!

Why self-diagnosed autistics are valid

medical diagnosis can be expensive

humans are the experts on their own minds

family may prevent assessment

diagnosis criteria is a poor checklist of stereotypes

diagnosis criteria ignores gender, race, sexuality, culture & more

medical diagnosis confirms autism, but doesn't create it

discrimination within the medical profession may prevent diagnosis.

Assessment waiting lists often long

medical trauma may make assessment unfeasible

Okay to reblog to help sample size!

#erurandomness #erubabbles #fanfiction #fanfic #I have a few longfics I've come to realize I'll probably never finish #but they have like 50k words and maybe people would enjoy the beginning? #and i *want* to finish them. I just don't know if I'll ever get that spark back that'll let me finish. it's frustrating #my perfectionism has kind of paralyzed me and a mix of that and drifting fandoms has me wondering #would people like it if i shared them so they could experience what's been written? or is it not worth it if they won't be updated? #fic tag
