predicament plurality

schizospec DID system of plural persuasion, we view ourselves as multiple people and we accept all experiences of systemhood and plurality.

[predicament plurality @centipeople]

some info about us:

• diagnosed with DID in 2012 and again 2021
• in active treatment (EMDR, IFS focused)
• not interested in syscourse
• accept all forms of plurality and trust how others narrate their lived experiences
• mostly here to talk with my friends

i love you :)

an OC is just a headmate to a twisted fucking system like me

[predicament plurality @centipeople]

honestly i don’t even think it counts as introjection if im a guy that i made up like an original character cant be an introject thats just a guy after a certain point

[predicament plurality @centipeople]

(agreeing with OP) if someone’s only crime is being cringe and you are imposing shame on them for this ESPECIALLY if you are a grown ass adult in your upper 20s-30s+ i think you are the problem and your own self-hatred is clear and hurting others.

[、 🌘🪻 @herrlawyers]

i think it should be illegal to make fun of teenagers for having OSDDID even if they are objectively annoying or cringey because "cringe" =/= "faking" + it will give them permanent trust issues and internalized ableism

@neocollector this is so real. i have similar medical trauma history and i forget all the time that it was literally brain damaging. oops

[predicament plurality @centipeople]

@thinkthinbethin abuser moms love to follow the same playbook, my mom is very similar. i’m sorry you’re still in that environment. SSI is such a process so i hope it works out for you.

[predicament plurality @centipeople]

i think it’s less helpful to list types of trauma to validate trauma as the event, not that the event(s) is/are not valid, but rather that it is more helpful to reinforce trauma as a physiobiological reality, i.e. if you have trauma responses it is trauma!

[predicament plurality @centipeople]

my friend published this about “the perfect victim” and the performance of victimhood as it relates to safety and the unpalatable aspects of trauma and it is really good https://t.co/uxwn5Y3dWj

[predicament plurality @centipeople]

trauma is not what happened to you. it is a physiobiological reality. if the physiobiological impact is present, trauma is present.

taxonomizing trauma by listing what “counts” as trauma is not helpful in the long run. the “validity” of the event is not a stable view of trauma.

[predicament plurality @centipeople]

you don’t have to remember or qualify/quantify the event at all to process and heal from trauma. the research shows that forcing people to remember the events has no clinical benefits.

[predicament plurality @centipeople]

some people may never remember the event(s). the remembering is not necessary in recognizing trauma in the body and working through it. we should reframe towards what the research shows about trauma informed care.

[predicament plurality @centipeople]

i think when we make trauma about events and the validity of those events, people who may not be ready to do so end up searching within themselves for the event. this is not necessary to reconcile trauma or to begin healing. it can be destabilizing.

[predicament plurality @centipeople]

aw man. i gotta start terraforming in the headspace.

[predicament plurality @centipeople]

@TheyntaiFujin not sure. i think im a little isolated in a subsystem kind of way because the only people who i feel i have access to communicate and facilitate fronting are within my subsystem from the split that made us lol if that makes sense.

[predicament plurality @centipeople]

i’m host syndroming really hard because i keep trying to organize and facilitate ways for more people to front and then not doing those things, forgetting about it, and then being like wow im really the only guy in this bitch (a lie) :/

[꩜ @COASTALCUNTS]

it's incredibly strange of you to be fakeclaiming random people on the internet. i think you guys should get that checked out. i feel very fix your hearts or die about this.

[predicament plurality @centipeople]

the system mapping on pluralspace is shockingly good and made me aware of patterns i never would’ve seen otherwise. i’m impressed with it as a simplyplural alternative and might honestly come to prefer it. high hopes for further development. <3

[꩜ @COASTALCUNTS]

i wouldn't trade being plural for the world. i exist most comfortably alongside the other people i share my body and life with. it feels like a gift to not endure any of this alone, no matter our roles in easing or worsening our circumstances. approach the self with curiosity

[LABYRINTH ★ @laberintosys]

i think one of the things that would have been nice to hear during sysrec is that you don't have to figure things out right away, just take your time & slowly work through things you don't need to know it all either

[predicament plurality @centipeople]

this is a log i designed for therapy with the intended purpose of facilitating others to go and to document any patterns that may emerge (e.g. specific alters bringing up specific things) thought it might be useful for others :)
