Hi!! We’ve recently discovered we’re a system, and your posts have been immensely helpful.

Currently, we’re trying to improve intra-system communication and get to know each other better. Do you have any ideas for activities that might help with that/activities we could do together? Thank you! :)

Hi! I think a little tip is to treat this as making new friends/getting to know your friends, because often that's just what it is! Obviously there are differences, but still. And communication is different for everyplural, sometimes systems need to really focus and meditate to talk, other times they just need to be doing something to call one another to front or have something to focus on. It's important to figure out what works for y'all :]

So what we personally really enjoy doing is things like board games, card games don't really work for us but if we're co-con/front board games are really fun, and often require enough communication to strengthen it but not too much that they're unplayable without it. Plus they usually work for our younger headmates who sometimes feel left out from our older ones

So some fun activities could be, that I could think of hehe:

Just asking questions : including truth or dare and such, 20 questions, you can even look up ( or buy if something physical would help ) questions for groups, etc. A great way to talk and get to know one another

board/cardgames : as I said, these can be really fun and are 'compatible' with a lot of systems, especially board games were good for us early on

making picrews of yourselves : if you're unaware, picrew.me is a site people can make character creators on that others can then use. This can help not only with communication but we find it helps differentiating ourselves, it's also fun to just make characters up together!

^ a game we play is one person makes a character, and then we all get to make up a backstory and such for it. Picrew isn't even necessarily needed for this

arts and crafts/creating in general can be really fun plus you get something out of it. Anything and everything art wise can be a really fun group project, even just all of you doodling something personal on a sketchbook can be fun and is a great way to get to know one another

exquisite corpse/consequences : not a game we can always play, but when we have played it's been really fun so it gets an honorary mention ( look it up if needed, I didn't even know the name and we'd always called it various things like "paper fold game" or "the nonsense character" lmao )

story/option games : now these for us always result in arguing(/affectionate) on what choice to pick, but games like these are also really enjoyable for us and require a lot of communication to do

^ puzzle (games) also

what do you individually like doing? Why not try out each others interests or hobbies! if you don't have any or aren't sure, find some together and see what you enjoy!

and that's just a few activities/games to both get to know each other and in consequence have communication ingrained in them, and personally the best way we've improved our communication is just talking and talking!

Other systems are highly encouraged to add onto this! this is just what we could think of, and have personally tried

Good luck getting to know each other!! ^_^

Also no idea what this is but it was included in the original placeholder draft and.. I've grown fond of it..

Dissociative amnesia is most often retrograde! This is why lots of people don't realize that they have more severe amnesia than they think.

What I mean by this is let's say your persecutor part switches in and says some horrible stuff. It's not necessarily that you (whoever was fronting before/the host) weren't there for those actions, but rather after the fact, the brain compartmentalizes those memories to stay with the persecutor part.

And adding onto this it can be localized, selective, or generalized (which is what often clues people in that something is seriously wrong and often only occurs during times of severe stress)

While dissociative amnesia can be anterograde (blocking the formation of new memories) that is seen more in dissociative fugue states or during active trauma.

question 24: do your sysmates make their own blogs/social media profiles?

i love reddit so fucking much

I cna tell im a system because wjhenever i hit my head relaly hard on the wall i hear screaming and noise complaimnts from The people

The thing is. Forcibly drugging someone IS violence. Forcibly restraining someone IS violence. Locking someone up against their will IS violence. Denying people basic bodily autonomy is inherently violent. Psychiatry is a carceral institution that commonly uses violence in the name of "treatment". But we as a society have accepted this violence as "necessary treatment", so instead of talking about the inherent trauma of forced treatment, we just pathologize mentally ill people for reacting to these violent acts with anything but calm acceptance. And while we basically never question whether it's acceptable to forcibly lock up and drug a mentally ill person, their very human attempts to defend their body against this violence will then be seen as "proof" that they deserve it and need it instead of the self defense it is
