Have You Ever Tried Bullet Journaling?

Have you ever tried bullet journaling?

OMG I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED

WE HAVE

Our host was really really into it back in 2021 - he'd journal everything. Here are a couple of their pages. Yes, they'd track fanfic as books read! Now we just use Goodreads and AO3 history.. we read too many fics to track any more. (please add us on goodreads, we need friend's reccomendations).

We decided to get a new journal for the system with lighter coloured dots… here's my first page!

Our handwriting tends to look quite similar, though there are some little differences. I'm really pedantic about how my numbers and letters look - and I always get so annoyed when they stray off the lines from our shaky hands.

We keep our front history in SimplyPlural, but sometimes we'll leave notes for one another!

Here's my brother's page, sorry I had to blank out some details for our safety.. the "pansexual, yes, I do f*ck pans" is an in-sys joke..but kind of self-explanatory XD

following a few 'vaccines cause autism' posts

I'm autistic, and vaccinated.

I was autistic before I was vaccinated. I was autistic before I got my MMR vaccination.

I am autistic.

I am vaccinated.

They're two very different things.

I get vaccinated for my health, and for other's health.

I'm autistic because I was born with it.

For the last time, autism is not caused by a vaccination; if you're autistic, you're born with it.

And the academic paper that was published that cites that vaccines cause autism has been proven time and time again to be false - and the person who published it (Andrew Wakefield) has been discredited and deregistered

Do you guys have a grounding box? What kinds of things do you use if so?

We do!! Though, we call it our sensory box. It's got a large mix of things we've collected over the years (and I do mean years.. we've got a baby rattle in here from childhood, lol)

essential oils and candles for scent based grounding

fidget toys: chewy things, pointy things, fidget spinners, fidget cubes, head scratcher, pop-it, putty

a kaleidoscope

stuffies: including three peas in a pod that we can throw at stuff without doing damage if someone's angry

puzzles: Rubik's Cube, one of those ball pushy things, and a couple metal puzzles

self harm alternatives: acupressure bracelets and rings, silicone slap bands, and some random keys haha

and a letter from my mum about how much she loves us (as a system)

and the box is decorated with things that make us happy!!

a quick poem about our host's experience being diagnosed with DID

Diagnosis A pile of papers rest on my lap My history laid bare Yet it reads like fiction

I peer at the white-coat and tilt my head ‘Surely, this is a story?’ He shakes his head and explains

My mind fractured Far before I was old enough to remember it He explains my mind is in little parts ‘alters’ he calls them

The definition reverberates through my consciousness “Alter: a change in character or composition, typically in a comparatively small but significant way.”

I shake my head, a laugh bursting from my chest Humorous; stop messing with me He frowns

‘I’m not.. you have a personality disorder’

If I have a personality disorder, the world is flat He hands me another leaflet Dissociative identity disorder, formerly Multiple personality disorder—

my eyes blur before I can read the rest suddenly it makes sense every day, you’re a different side shame washes through my body

he says they have names and suddenly i feel ill

A kindly voice murmurs reassurance I can’t see her But she’s as real as my beating heart "Welcome to the family, kid"

So as a hermitcraft fan, give you seen the permit office and hermit permit blogs? They are hilarious

I HAVE NOT I need to go investigate

Disabled joy: having energy, skipping on my crutches down the road in the sun!!! After getting absolutely soaked at a drinking fountain ehehehhe
