I Love You Systems Who Call Your Alters "headmates"

saying "who said that" at the end of a sentence is a lot funnier when you're plural. who DID say that

Ok so I find this funny, as a person who constantly is talking to themselves I’m always worried people think I’m crazy-

Here’s what I’m actually doing…

Talking to the friends in my head

Vocal stims

Singing to a song in and out of my headphones

Processing my thoughts out loud

and more!

Don’t be afraid or worried if you see someone like me talking to themselves, everyone does it at some point right???

Ever just see somebody talking to themselves in public?

Wonder what's going on in there?

Mumbling? Tics? Reciting lines? Thinking of a memory?

Or on the other side.

Talking to headmates? Alters? Imaginary friends?

You'll never know.

I like to call this phenomenon

Schrödinger's Chat

Types of dissociation

You feel like the present moment is a memory you're recalling

You feel like the "real you" is a fictional character and you are someone else having some kind of delusion that you're them

Your body is a car that someone you feel safe with is driving while you're in the passenger seat getting sleepy from the streetlights

Your body is a car that someone who puts you on edge is driving very very badly

You experienced an emotion so intensely it overloaded and short-circuited your brain into failsafe shutdown mode

You got so dizzy that you fell over and fell through the floor and now you're in the mirror world

You feel like every next movement you make is going to be the one that clips you into the Backrooms

You feel like every slight decision you make is going to be the one that traps you in the timeloop

You're dissolving into the air around you like a vapor

You're trapped underwater in a cave and no one above can hear your mortal panic

You're lines of code watching the real world through a screen

You feel like you'd relate to a Radiohead song

You feel like the present moment is currently being written by Kurt Vonnegut

Animal with its leg stuck in a trap mode

no we are not "privilege" for having trauma. It's fucking crippling we can't go anywhere with alcohol without having a ptsd attack. We can't handle being touched, we can't handle being screamed at or left!! It's fucking us over and we also have to deal with being a fuckijg system!!

Which, no, it is not fun to be a system. If you call systems "traumascum" or "syscum" your ableist plain and simple!!

(Btw plural isn't a endo only term dumbasses think of that before you make a "call out" post abt us lmao)

who can relate

it's kinda terrifying when the kiddo in the headspace, who has never fronted before, tries to front while we're out and about.

buddy, please, we have THINGS TO DO

he has not tried to front since, at least that I know of

being a system is odd because every friendship you make feels like a fan make cross over episode

This has to be fake-I MEAN NO WAY MY ENTIRE LIFE HAS BEEN THIS WAY WHAT?!

It’s gotten bad
