I Was Holding The Hand Of A Little In Co-con As We Were Walking And It Was Genuinely So Weird To Go At

by odwyer_sio9

Anyone have headmates who just sit in co-con with a song playing in their head that everyone can hear? Like audibly? Because its become a running joke to play effectively elevator music while nothing is happening with the body. Other headmates will play an alarm sound when it's time to wake up. Is this just an us thing? Being able to project semi-audible sound clips to front? Its kinda fun but sometimes I just Hear Something and I go "the hell was- oh its you" and it makes me giggle. Anyone?

Plural tip for systems that track fronts; be lenient on tracking who may be active. Like, this is your brain, not the tax office. You don't have to perform a bunch of extremely specific checks just to make sure a headmate is truly active; you can just acknowledge their presence in whatever form that may take. Trust that they'll talk to you if they want something, and just let yourselves be. Even if they don't do anything, it still gives them history. Your headmates will appreciate having a place in your system's history, even if they don't remember exactly what they did or said in every single instance.

And even your front history isn't entirely accurate? They'll likely still appreciate that you think about them.

scary

do not let ANY being tell you what trauma is valid and what isn’t.

Stress can be traumatic

Isolation can be traumatic

Toxic friendships can be traumatic

School can be traumatic

Hospital checkups can be traumatic

Moving houses/countries/schools can be traumatic

High expectations can be traumatic

Everybeing experiences things different , what’s traumatic for one being won’t be for another, and that’s ok! Your trauma and experiences are valid <333

I do not know Who is reblogging landscape photos for the people they think they match, but I can already tell my feed is going to be nothing but pictures of forests and Japan for the next seven days :|

A server I’m on asked the question of which characters from a show everyone related to the most, and I was stumped before remembering that I’m not the only one in here and me an the lads relate to different ones 😭 suddenly all my crises over kinning wildly different characters makes sense

System Pinterest board? More like “here’s where we save art of hot guys with long hair who look like the host in hopes of persuading him to stop hacking our hair off every time he gets dysphoric” Pinterest board

it can be hard to look after ourselves when we’re suicidal, but you are worth it. please take care of yourselves today. we hope that doing something small for your own health may improve your mood, if only a little.

reach out if you want to brag about how you’ve cared for yourselves lately, or if you need a little encouragement. we love you.

Being plural sometimes is being super deep in a self destructive maladaptive daydreaming session and having another alter *literally* shake you back to being aware, being able to give them hugs and have someone to cry on while you try and ground yourself. An extreme act of love and care.
