..hey, So You Know How System Tumblr Subtly Forces 'normal Things' In Systems? Systems Are Complicated

..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,

When the littles get onto Tumblr

..the grown ups says we has frens on here like us!! we's not so alone anymore..

Hold up, people find sitting restful? Fuck.

It's wild to me that sitting up is "resting" for a lot of people. Like, sitting up costs energy to me and I cannot fathom how me sitting for most of the day is what others consider rest

Rest to me is laying down, barely moving, and not really using my brain, more-so just consuming mindless content to keep me from getting too bored

when all your energy is spent surviving; try not to be too hard on yourself when you're missing the energy to be creative

even if the only thing you did today was survive, im proud of you

One of the oldest forms of work out there 🤷🏾

Yup
