Btw Dating Sucks As A Concept.

Thank you for adding onto this conversation with an informative view. i can see why some would choose to see it from that perspective of it as a comparison. i guess my biggest issue is comparing being a system to being a gender. its just not something i see as being able to be compared on an even level.

why tf do endos treat being a system like its an identity that you can pick and choose to label? why do they constantly push the transphobic rhetoric of using "traumascum" to refer to traumatized individuals that just dont want people to treat their symptoms like its fun?

being plural/being a system is nothing like being lgbtq+ and i really think we need to stop treating it as such

yes we are a community, but this community is one formed on the basis of being traumatized as kids, its not based on something we choose to refer to ourselves as

we need to be there to support each other but not blindly. we need to help spread information to others with the symptoms so they can receive help.

you wouldnt treat people with personality disorders the way you treat systems so why is it acceptable to treat systems this way?

ok since some of you idiots who enjoy watching Moon Knight don’t understand shit I’m going to explain it.

(*Moon Knight Ep 5 Spoilers towards the end*)

First off, Marc, Steven, and Jake are part of a system. Because of the childhood trauma they faced in childhood they developed Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Which means that because of the constant pressure and traumatic events happening to them their psyche fracture. Marc, Steven, and Jake are all fragments of one collective.

Secondly, Marc did NOT “create” Steven. The brain split both Steven and Marc to do seperate tasks. Marc to hold traumatic memories and protect the others. And Steven to keep them going, keep their area clean, keep them healthy.

Thirdly, they are all seperate people, they have different thought processes, different emotions, and different reactions, but they CANNOT exist by themselves. They need each other to be able to get through life. The creators of the show have had several professionals and people with the disorder talk to them about this stuff and how to portray it well.

That means they are aware that Marc didn’t create Steven and that they can’t exist without each other. So no they won’t stay seperate even if Steven has supposedly died and become sand and Marc is in the field of reeds.

Now stop for the love of fucking god calling them personalities, they’re alters, and stop calling Marc the original, THERE IS NO ORIGINAL WHEN YOU HAVE THIS DISORDER!

just a kind reminder to please be kind to the people you know with gastrointestinal disorders/conditions! they're embarassing, often very painful - sometimes debilitating - and very hard to talk about without oversharing a lot more than most are comfortable with.

if someone you know:

- spends a lot/long time in the restroom

- has a colostomy bag

- requires diapers or similar implements

- experiences a lot of gas and/or bloating

- requires tube feeding or other alternative methods of nutrition

- has food restrictions (e.g. cannot handle a lot of spices, certain proteins, etc.)

- eats a lot, or only a little

or other similar factors of their life...

please be patient and understanding, it's hard having guts that really like disagreeing with you!

feel free to ignore this

im just having a bad morning pain wise

i realized that i cant actually ever have a normal life anymore. i woke up after playing skee ball at an arcade with a pulled muscle in my shoulder that hurts so much i cant move it. and i made the realization that because of my chronic pain i can never go out and just live my life. i cant even play my instrument or draw without some part of me hurting and it just really sucks. like how am i supposed to make myself feel better when i cant do any of the things to make myself feel better because it hurts too much.

NPD culture is 'nobody has payed attention to me in an hour, I will go insane'

.

man when i see all those posts about how to manipulate and hurt narcissists and such all i can think of is:

damn

yall need to stop abusing your narcissists, if theyre actual narcs they just want attention, go give them a kiss instead duh

yea exactly its shaped your identity. its a defining characteristic of your identity but ptsd is not just an identity like being trans or gay is.
