Hi! I know you don't know me but my bf suffers from did and has only recently realized this and started treatment. Older alters of his say that there used to be an inner world and one even told me that they think a 'system collapse' has happened, so I guess my question is what all information can you offer me to understand and help him get his inner world back and restore any communication at all with his alters. Thanks in advance! And sorry if I'm being rude!
hi, i am in no way an expert in innerworlds so this may be a bit tough for me to answer. i can give you what i have though.
i’m also not sure about what a system collapse is, but i know innerworlds can sometimes be less accessible to certain alters or can be harder to get to when something causes an increase in dissociative barriers. i’d try to figure out if there’s something that might have triggered this lack of communication to happen and try to figure out how to deal with it or cope with what’s going on. if ur bf has a therapist, it would be good to talk to them about it, even if it’s not about the did/innerworld disappearance, but about what most likely was the cause. if it has to do with undiscovered trauma tho, he should not go digging into that.
he could try reaching out in his mind to specific alters, see if they’ll respond. he could also try to build an innerworld manually; not all innerworlds automatically exist, some are made. i have a few pictures on my phone from a post i saw maybe a year ago with some innerworld building tips. here they are:
also, i recently made a post on system communication and journaling for summer system education week. it’s got a lot of tips and resources to go with them. here’s the post
hope this helps, i wish u and ur bf good luck with this

Astrology observations I made pt 14
DISCLAIMER- Placements will not play out the same way for everyone and having challenging placements + aspects does not mean that you are a bad person or that you will have a bad life. Take what resonates and leave what doesn’t
-people with Uranus in the 11th house will befriend anyone and everyone. From the billionaire to the homeless dude down the street, they respect everybody as a human being and I love them for that
-People with cancer, Pisces Taurus and Libra venuses specifically tend to have a penchant for sweet foods and baked goods
-people with the moon in the first house physically can’t hide their emotions. They may be able to bite their tongue but their facial expressions will tell you everything you need to know before they even think to stop themselves
-people with the moon in the 2nd house find comfort in material things and have the tendency to hoard items they don’t need just because it holds some sort of sentimental value, so their living space is likely to be cluttered
-people with pluto in the 11th house aren’t afraid to cut people off. They’ll burn a bridge while they’re on it just to show you they can swim
-people with Taurus moons may have seen their mother as someone who was more focused on fulfilling their (as in the children) material needs and wants than emotionally bonding with them. Imagine that one parent that’s like “you’re sad? Here I bought you a Gucci purse”
-People with a lot of Scorpio placements and mars-mercury aspects tend to curse a lot. Wash your mouths out with soap, abeg
-people with unfavorable juno-moon or Juno-Venus aspects tend to have really negative attitudes towards marriage. The more failed marriages they witness or hear about, the more those attitudes are internalized, and the harder they become to change
-unfavorable Venus-mars aspects in synastry is a sign of a relationship possibly turning very toxic if the parties involved do not have the emotional intelligence and maturity needed to work through their differences
-when people with Saturn in the 7th house get married before their Saturn return, their marriage dynamic never stays the same afterwards. It could bring the couple closer together or break them up
I literally just saw a post of someone talking about how having specific symptoms made them more a singlet and not a full system, just because alters were silent for a while. That they didn't feel like they're a system because they were the only one fronting.
And like. Wow, who told you this? Who made you think that if alters aren't heard in the headspace, that you're not a system anymore?
You're still a system, you're a system regardless of your alters showing up and switching out.
Alters don't die, but they can go dormant. But dormancy is not alter death, they're just asleep. Splitting and fusing is not death either.
Alters are different states of consciousness. If they don't front it doesn't mean they're gone.
You are a system, you don't stop being a system. Even if you reach final fusion, it's possible that you'll split again. You are not a singlet or a partial singlet. Sometimes, alters just don't front because they don't need to.
January was a tough year but we made it
This breaks my heart wide open
i like to pretend i already died and asked god to send me back to earth so i can swim in lakes again and see mountains and get my heart broken and love my friends and cry so hard in the bathroom and go grocery shopping 1,000 more times. and that i promised i would never forget the miracle of being here
TERFS, don't interact. Transfeminine system.
