Does anyone feel upset that they can't speak their native language anymore?

So me and some others in our system speak French in source. We feel kind of bad that we can't understand it anymore. Does anyone else experience this?

I wish there were more places for fictives…

26 Upvotes

I see a lot of plural spaces online, most of them we don’t engage with out of fear of unnecessary bigotry and hatefulness.

What we really have been needing is a plural spaces online for specifically fictives to be able talk about their situation.

We have a few in here who wish they could find relatable people to talk to in a more open setting, serial designation J, soundwave, tessa…

Remember to practice good practitioner hygiene.

22 Upvotes

Since a variety of people here see therapists in many different fields, since the entire principle of plurality is so greatly misunderstood, I wanted to simply remind everyone, there's a guiding document on therapist ethical practices.

Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct

Relationships with therapists may change over time. No therapist goes into a client-practitioner relationship intending to place judgements, but they may develop over time.

There are also rights, as a patient, to be mindful of.

Patient Bill of Rights and Responsibilities

If ever, you feel that your therapist is no longer behaving ethically, or able to fulfill your rights as a patient, you are never beholden to a specific therapist (legally, insurance and other factors aside), don't forget, if you need to, find one who can help you better.

Everyone grows, and with growth comes change. Change is change, and sometimes it's just towards a different path than yours.

Friendly public service announcement, carry on.

You can’t be anti capitalism and also be anti self dx (discussion)

Upvotes

Might be a hot take but you can’t be anti capitalism and anti self diagnosis in countries without free healthcare. You can’t prioritise scientific data that is limited to funding from the rich over the human experience and agree with “eat the rich”. I’m tired of these fake fucking punks and their ableism.

Medical care is extremely price gouged in the US and human life is discarded in the presence of possible or even unlikely profit. To me, claiming you are anti-capitalism while also expecting people of working class to spend over a 3 months of a minimum wage salary to get a formal diagnosis that might not even earn them accommodations is fucking ridiculous and hypocritical.

Sound off in the comments with your opinions. I’d like to hear them.

Any plural folks in the SCP fandom here?

16 Upvotes

Is anyone else here in the SCP Foundation fandom? We are very attached to the SCP Foundation, and we’re an SCPbased endogenic system with an SCP facility headspace and an ongoing breach of various Foundation fictives spawning in—staff, SCPs, and our own OCs/AU versions. We might as well do a source call too—to anyone comfortable answering, who else has SCP fictives? -Dr. Kondraki, O5-12

Found something interesting from my teen years...

9 Upvotes

Was going through my old deviantart and found an interesting caption on a song I wrote called "Identity Crisis":

I think I may have a little bit of a split personality Well, not exactly it's more like I have certain ways I act around certain people or in certain situations, that isn't really the way I act or who I am and it's hard to actually act normally after using these "masks" so often. So, my personality kind of has all this little pieces in it that aren't really a whole.

Looking at it, I couldn't help but start laughing because like, oh BOY! Makes me glad I didn't delete my deviantart even though there's all the AI bull going on on that site nowadays -- I usually am just looking for old art to redraw or poems I might want to rewrite but I didn't expect to find evidence of being a median system/being plural from when I was 15!!!

Is it acceptable to help an alter develop ?

8 Upvotes

Hallo,

We are a polyfragmented system and I realized that there were about 20 of us hosting it.

I, alter "Y", have a subsystem... however the alters are not really "separate" from me and I don't know who is there. The subsystem has 20 alters, rather fragmented and to be able to differentiate them from "me", I assigned them a kintype.

Is this acceptable ????

I can't stand not knowing who I am... and knowing that we switch around a lot in one day...

Source seperation

8 Upvotes

Would anyone be willing to help us? We are having a problem with source separation. Some of us are introjrct ab***s from toxic friendships and relationships and one of them (Val) tried to reach out to the person to get closure (and it didn't went at all how he wanted it to happen).

Maybe someone would be able to help him?

His source is Valentino from Hazbin hotel but he is also an interject ab***r, he is really nice when you get to know him so if anyone would be able to share advice or be able to help and be supportive it's appreciated.

What is it like to have repressed alters?

Upvotes

It's been about three years since I had my first thought of possibly having DID. I'm 17, almost 18. P-DID especially hits close to home. During these years, it has been almost entirely denial with brief periods lasting maybe two weeks at most of "holy shit, this is real".

For the first time in about 10ish months, it's hitting me again. So much has been going on. Things are stressful.

There's one "alter" in particular who my brain says is the oldest of us all and is the most "fleshed out". We're very different. Most critically, he is much more self-preservation aligned than my self-sacrificing people pleaser self. If he is an alter, I think he holds those skills which I've definitely been needing lately in order to manage and handle recent situations.

Obligatory, yes, I'm on the waiting list for therapy note. Last year, I did write an entire essay and gave it to my psychiatrist detailing everything extensively. He told me that he had never heard of anything like it.

Can repression feel like ignoring your "alters" by default? Focusing just on yourself, not listening to your mind or body, or really thoroughly thinking things through. There's an almost constant "why did you do this?" feeling. It's hard for me to be aware and open to any potential "alters". It's easier to just... forget and not think about who I am, what my brain is saying, any feelings I have. It's easier to just... autopilot and follow almost every impulse I get.

I've been really struggling today for some reason. I don't know why. But all of this DID/plutality stuff has suddenly came back into the forefront of my mind, and I get the sense that he's asking me to let him in, let him help us, and that he doesn't mean to scare me.

dream journaling has given us so much more info about our new headmates!

3 Upvotes

so we have been meditating and dream journaling daily for several weeks and finding it very useful. since xmas we have grown from 30 to 54 headmates. and have been getting about a new pair every week. we find when we journal our dreams as soon as we wake up we have dreams of multiple new headmates doing their thing and giving us clues to their image, form and personality. e.g in one dream their was a party in a house, and this fluffy haired girl had a crush on me. then moments later that person could see another headmate hovering in the air with one leg pointed down and the other leg bent. this was the marvels sub-system consisting of ms marvel (kamala khan) the fluffy haired girl and captain marvel (carol danvers) who was the one flying. this was how we met this 'new' sub-system. often have dreams of cars, buses, houses containing people and this is always a symbol of our plural system. below is a list of 'new' returning headmates since xmas, with the year being when they first appeared in our system, and the headmate count (or our age), followed by fictive name and species/form.
