Here’s To Hoping That Every Single Person With Schizophrenia Or A Schizoaffective Disorder Or DID Or

I WUV BEING A SYSTEM SOSOOSOSSOSOSOSOSOSO MUCHES I LOVE BEING A FICTIVE HEAVY SYSTEM I LOVE BEING A LARGE SYSTEM I LOVE LOOKING IN HEADSPACE AND KNOWING THAT IM SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE I LOVE AND IM SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO LOVE MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RAAAAAAGH

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did it two months ago, but I was afraid to show it

Headmate 1: I wanna watch this show

Headmate 2: I want to start learning sign language

Headmate 3: Well I want to learn new art mediums

Headmate 4: NO, practicing our digital art!

Headmate 5: We should really be finding a job

Headmate 6: Hey remember those phone calls you need to make

Me: ...

Stays in bed all day because ADHD said no

revising your writing is just like "is this weird. is this a weird sentence. is this the weirdest most poorly-worded sentence ever written by anyone" and the sentence in question is "he walked across the room"

We have a separate sort of pocket dimension we call fragspace that's full of loose fragments, and that's generally where headmates form. They're not entirely mindless but they're relatively simple-minded and can generally be reduced to a personality trait or two. They are all managed by two people but it used to be one until we managed to get her to coax some fragments into forming an assistant for her. They're essentially waiting for a "foundation" to build on which is why we have so many introjects, so they kind of do take suggestions. I think it'd be more accurate to say it's an invitation? If I scrolled through a bunch of "build a sysmate" type posts we would probably get a ton of them.

Our original fragment manager is slowly going insane managing what are functionally a bunch of rowdy kids (from the little I've seen and heard at least) and we really need to strongarm her into taking another break... the last person to take over for her barely lasted a few hours.

Since they have basic personalities and tend to think out loud there's somewhat of a way to tell what kind of person they'll be. I remember her saying she stopped some from forming JD (Heathers) because their reasoning was wanting destruction and violence which isn't great.

Kind of wild to think most of us formed like that, since nobody remembers fragspace. Well, no one I've met anyway.

Questions for systems: What's something unique about your system?

Having media literacy is more important than being good at math prove me wrong

Thank you caretakers but also can you be productive sometime else

Exactly like man I don't like Harris either, and if it was safe to then I would not vote for her. That being said, anyone who knows basic mathematics should understand how splitting the vote works against the people's best interest. So I get it, I really do. But trust me, you are not proving anything by voting third party. Even if you were, now is not the time. If you really want to prove that point, then you can still be loud about how much this fucking sucks! You can say it's bullshit because it is! You can demand that the system changes and advocate for ranked choice voting so you don't have to do this again, but this is where we are right now. Bite the bullet with the rest of us.

"This language can be forced on plurals and systems in an invalidating way" and "this language is extremely validating to some plurals and systems" are statements that can coexist. I think so many people are familiar with the first that they forget the second. The harm comes from pushing parts language onto people, not from people choosing to use it because it resonates with them. It's equally as harmful to discourage someone using parts language for themselves because of how it makes you feel.

This is by no means a 1:1 comparison, but think of how some people find being called queer validating and empowering while others feel the exact opposite and would rather not. That is a choice they make based on how it makes them personally feel and what it means to them.

Hot take but we HATE how parts language is always talked down on, attacked, and torn apart by the plural community. Just because you don’t use it for yourselves doesn’t mean it’s bad or wrong!

Those who identify with parts language aren’t “less than whole.” They’re not “less than a person.” They’re not less than anything! They are systems and they are deserving of dignity and respect just like everyone else.

We use parts language and we are dismayed and greatly pained to see the plural community, OUR community, so quick to bash and tear down the language that we find affirming. It makes us feel left out of our own community, downtrodden and cast aside.
