I'm Listening To Stairway To Heaven
I'm listening to stairway to heaven
And it's my first time. My systemmate has heard it. I know that. But I never have listened to it while fronting and definitely not on these fucking headphones
dear god

my biggest advice for (especially but not exclusively new(ly discovered)) systems is... to take everyones advice with a grain of salt. whats good for one system is catestrophically bad for another. a lot of posts frame their advice as perfect and infallible (which i doubt is intentional on the posters part), but it really isnt. just do what works best for your system.
Let’s have some positivity for the systems who don’t fit the strict medical/nonmedical binary! Shoutout to the systems with complex origins and/or disordered status!
Shoutout to the endogenic or spiritual systems with CDDs and/or (C)PTSD!
Shoutout to the traumagenic-spec systems who split/formed to deal with the adversity they faced but never fufilled the disordered requirements for CDDs and/or (C)PTSD!
Shoutout to the systems of all origins in late stage CDD and/or (C)PTSD recovery, or those who are fully recovered!
Shoutout to the systems of all origins who “just” have DPDR!
Shoutout to the traumagenic systems that split/formed later in life!
Shoutout to the systems who voluntarily split/formed to deal with adversity!
Shoutout to the disordered median systems of all origins who aren’t multiple enough to fulfill the requirements for a CDD!
Shoutout to the systems who don’t know their origins, find their origins irrelevant, or reject origin labels altogether!
Shoutout to the semi-disordered systems!
Shoutout to ALL traumagenic-spec and endogenic, created, spiritual, and/or nontraumagenic-spec systems!
And shoutout to every other system that cannot fit neatly into the two boxes this community has created!
Yall are amazing and valid, and you don’t need to give up any aspect of your identity, regardless of what anyone else says. I wish there were more recognition and acceptance of you in this community…
One thing that might be helpful as an aid is a heated body pillow. They're about $100, but it can help to simulate hugging. The combination of that and a weighted blanket works particularly well. Cheaper option would be a heating pad & a regular pillow, you might already have those laying around. It won't be quite as nice, but it could still help.
Combining visualization (within a headspace situation) with hugging someone who is co-con can also work well. And combining all of these things can work *very* well.
How do I hug my headmates and have them actually feel it? They're cool and deserve hugs :]
Hello! I relate to this a lot,
Now I'm not familiar with stuff in headspace or an inner world as we don't really have one. However! I often will hug the body/ourselves, with the To Be Hugged in front or co-con with me, and that works. In fact, all physical affection we want to show to one another and feel it is through the body .. it's actually really comforting ^♡^
There are likely other ways, and this may not work for everyplural, but this is what we do! I hope they get their hugs <3
Here’s some positivity for system protectors!
For many systems, having roles can provide individual members with purpose and drive. Many headmates come with roles, but some adopt them later in life. Protectors do so much for the systems they protect, and their efforts don’t go unnoticed! This post is for all the system protectors out there!
🛡 Shoutout to protectors who have always existed in their systems, protecting them since their formation!
⚔️ Shoutout to protectors who were consciously created in order to help protect the system!
🛡 Shoutout to protectors with chronic pain or illness, who find they’re not always able to protect their system when they need to!
⚔️ Shoutout to protectors who are hosts, frequent fronters, or permanently frontstuck!
🛡 Shoutout to protectors who work behind the scenes, protect the system by managing symptoms, or never front at all!
⚔️ Shoutout to protectors who handle in-system conflict, and work as mediators and negotiators!
🛡 Shoutout to protectors who feel like they can’t do enough to protect their system!
⚔️ Shoutout to protectors who struggle with negative emotions like guilt, shame, anger, jealousy, or sadness!
🛡 Shoutout to protectors who didn’t start that way, stepped up to fill the role when it was needed!
⚔️ Shoutout to protectors who are therian, otherkin, copinglink, or nonhuman in any way!
🛡 Shoutout to protectors who help their system survive in ways that others might think are “weird” or “cringe!”
Every system is unique, and each protector has their own individual ways of helping their system flourish! There’s no need to compare yourself to protectors in other systems - you’re doing the best you can and that counts for something!
Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into protecting your system. Your efforts aren’t going unnoticed - we see you, we know how difficult protecting a system can be, and we’re rooting for you in all that you do! Thanks so much for reading, and take care!
