When being asked about my gender recently I've just started saying "I contain multitudes"

#Which is both true of the gender of me the host but also because I'm a system #system talk #gender #genderqueer #genderfluid

We're doing an assignment on DID at the moment: it's a mostly visual task. We're planning on creating a (hypothetical) mental health campaign aimed towards lowering the stigma around DID/OSDD as we've faced some real shit at the hands of DID stereotypes

Just wanted to ask some other systems what they associate with DID? Colours, symbols, designs, etc

And if anyone has anything they wish non systems knew about being a system, that too!

Thanks everyone!

(reblogs appreciated for a bigger sample size)

I have a question about using nonverbal/semiverbal vs. nonvocal/semiverbal.

So, we're a system and we have a member who struggles a lot with speaking, and we've been using the term semiverbal for him (though from seeing posts of others who are semiverbal, we're kinda wondering if nonverbal would be a better description?). Someone told us that using semivocal would be better because the rest of us/the body is fully verbal.

But we're not sure we want to use the -vocal term because -vocal refers to voice only (as it comes from "voice"), and he struggles with both spoken and written communication, and -verbal seems to be a better description for that.

Is it okay to keep using the term semiverbal (or nonverbal if we determine that's the better term) in our situation? Or is a different term preferred, and if so, do you know of any other terms that would indicate difficulty with both speaking and writing like the -verbal terms do?

Thank you for reading

Hi there. So, this is a very heavily debated topic, however, it has to be said and I know several nonverbal/nonspeaking people who feel the same way. I can’t speak for the whole community, but generally, if the body is speaking, and only one or two, or a couple alters are not able to talk, but the body itself is speaking, then please don’t use the terms nonverbal/nonspeaking and semiverbal.

Know many nonverbal/nonspeaking/semiverbal systems, and they all claim that word because the body itself is unable to speak or is semiverbal.

Again, this is a heavily debated topic. But overall, I personally don’t agree with people who have alters that don’t speak using the terms nonverbal or nonspeaking for themselves. The body doesn’t get the same type of treatment as those of us who are fully unable to speak or are semiverbal. Our experiences are much different. And I think that’s the part that matters. Experiences.

I would use alternative terms, like “this alter is unable to speak” “this alter can’t speak” “this alter is blah blah blah”. You get the point.

But yeah, I hope this explains some. Have a lovely day!

Me: it's really disturbing how I'm going to sleep at a decent time every night and waking up in the actual morning naturally

The exhausted chain-smoking caretaker who lives in my head: that's what's SUPPOSED to happen!

..hey, so you know how system tumblr subtly forces 'normal things' in systems? systems are complicated adaptations to trauma, no one system is going to present the same..

and you know that's okay, right?

sometimes it's easy to get wrapped up in what everyone else thinks of you/your system.. what truly matters with D.I.D / O.S.D.D systems is the clinical appearance. if you reach the diagnostic criteria for a C.D.D, then your system is enough. no matter how you present.

whether your alters are obvious, covert or anything in between.

there's a few things that are common within systems (ie. an alter who fronts more than the others, protector/s, younger alters), but that doesn't mean you have to have them. that's okay if you don't look exactly the same.

once we reached a certain level of awareness of one another, it was natural for our system to fall into categories with an alter ‘heading’ the ‘department’

for example, i watch out for our littles and any interjected members, in doing so, im considered the ‘head’ of that section of our system. one of our seven year olds is the leader of our littles and she relays information to myself and to other protectors. it allows us to monitor who is struggling, who needs extra support etc without having to trust that everyone will communicate with one person.

that was natural for our system, however, that doesn't mean that's everyone's experience.

it doesn't have to be.

sending love and hugs to anyone who needs them,

lillia (🪻)

Sometimes being a system is desperately trying to make sense of the HRE-to-Germany timeline in 2024 because you are Germany and you also don't fucking get it

any other memories you want to share?

is there a scene/episode/clip/line from source you hold close?

whos your favourite person from source?

whos your least favourite person from source?

did you keep your source name? if not what made you choose the new name?

how different do you look from source?

whats something about you thats trivial but source still got wrong? (ie, favourite food/colour/animal was wrong)

if youre nonhuman and comfortable with sharing, what are you?

whats your favourite source that isnt yours?

whats your favourite source outside the system?

least favourite source in the system?

least favourite source outside the system?

do you own any merch from source? if not would you like any?

thoughts on fanart or cosplays of you?

boundaries with doubles/kins?

boundaries with fans?

boundaries with source or sourcemates?

is there someone specific you'd like to find/meet either from your source or another?

if you could change something about source what would it be?

is there a blog that focuses on yours or someone elses source that you enjoy seeing post?

is there a fanfic or some headcanons you like?

comfort from source?

comfort item?

something at home outside the headspace that reminds you in some way of source?

Sometimes you have a bunch of children in your system that need a bit of help getting their words together so you take some concepts from therapy that you need to internalize, and make a funny little game out of it and name it after a sport because they're fucking traumatized by the idea of therapy.
