Here’s some positivity for those with P-DID!

Unfortunately, P-DID (or partial dissociative identity disorder) is not often talked about or discussed online - many folks with P-DID may feel left out of spaces focused on systems and complex dissociative disorders. However, P-DID systems absolutely belong in the plural community (as long as they wish to be here), and provide a welcome and cherished perspective to the vast experiences of plural folks and those with dissociative disorders! To all those out there with P-DID, this one’s for you!

☀️ Shoutout to systems with P-DID with distinct alters or parts who don’t experience switches!

🧡 Shoutout to those with P-DID who don’t identify as plural or a system!

🌹 Shoutout to P-DID systems who have difficulties interacting and making connections with their alters!

✨ Shoutout to those with P-DID who struggle with dissociation and often feel disconnected from themselves, their bodies, and their surroundings!

🔸 Shoutout to P-DID systems with alters who mostly control the body through passive influence or being co-conscious!

❣️ Shoutout to those with P-DID who have to deal with trauma responses including, but not limited to, flashbacks, anxiety, nightmares, high stress levels, intrusive thoughts, or anything else!

💫 Shoutout to P-DID systems who identify as specutien or having a frontstuck host!

🏵 Shoutout to those who are in treatment for their P-DID, and to those who are functioning well on their own and don’t want to seek treatment!

🎈 Shoutout to those who are questioning whether or not they have P-DID or are taking the steps to get a diagnosis or self diagnose!

🌙 Shoutout to systems who wish P-DID was talked about more and better understood in system or CDD spaces!

✴️ Shoutout to P-DID systems who are grateful for their alters and their plurality, and to those who wish they could be singlets!

We hope that everyone with P-DID who sees this can have an amazing day today. Know that you belong in spaces for systems, trauma survivors, and those with complex dissociative disorders just the way you are. We appreciate and value your perspective, and are so honored to be able to share these spaces with you!

Please do your best to treat yourself and your system (if you identify as such) with kindness and compassion today. You are so loved, and we hope that your future is filled with peace, comfort, healing, and self-acceptance. Thank you so much for reading, and take care!

Shoutout to systems/plurals who have unusual experiences or beliefs about their system/plurality!

You think you were born plural? Hell yeah!

You have a mostly or entirely non-humanoid system? That’s so cool, friends!

You don’t feel like you spilt so much as individuals souls gathered in your body? That’s so valid!

You consciously made your system? Good for you!

Your system has lots of non-introjects with extensive backstory, trauma, and disorders that the body doesn’t have? I hope you’re all doing well!

You’re all introjects? Super dope!

You have a ton of inner world relationships? That’s adorable!

You have no inner world? That’s so interesting!

You have any other non-standard experience? You’re valid and I believe you!

Plurality is incredibly complex and I doubt we’ll ever fully understand it. As much as we try to put rules on the plural experience, minds and souls (if you believe in them) are not interested in complying. I think it’s important to remember that mental diagnoses aren’t biological truths, they’re portions of patterns we see repeated. No two experiences will be the same, and the experiences that fit into that pattern aren’t the only ones. Being plural isn’t a chemical process like ATP production. There aren’t chemical components and structures that facilitate it the same way every time. The way our brains work are as unique as our DNA and our environments. We will never succeed in labeling everything they do. What we can do is believe the people who don’t fit into a box.

I love you, you’re so incredibly valid!

Here's to proxy systems!

A proxy system is defined as "where one functions as a singlet (or approximately close to one[...]) due to a frontstuck host, yet members of the system are [...] distinct in headspace" [via Pluralpedia].

Shoutout to proxy systems who:

Are median

Have OSDD-1A or P-DID

Live life as a singlet most of the time, or only tell close loved ones about their system

Also identify as specutien

Didn't initially know they were a proxy system due to lack of information in plural spaces

Thought their system might've been something else at first, such as a kin system, or thought that they were just a singlet

Please know you are so important to us! You deserve as much place in the plural community as anyone else! Did you know how amazing you are? Well, now you do! It's going to be ok, and you'll get through anything you might be facing right now.

We love you!

🖤💜💙💚💛

Since people can’t claim AI as their own art. I feel like systems have the right to go to though the stupid AI adoptables and just use them for face claims. /j

Fuck AI “artist”, art is made by living beings not code. :3

I think the biggest thing contributing to my doubt about being a system is that I'm aware of my trauma, I'm aware I was there during said trauma even if not fully

I don't have the visual memories anymore but I know I did before as part of the old host, after I became aware I'm not the old host anymore (my theory is I split from them) I noticed these visual memories disappeared, but I do remember having them

I remember the pain of them and I stil have some emotional attachment to them even though they don't feel like they're mine anymore

Isn't it the whole point of this entire thing to hide the trauma ? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me that I'm the one forced to live everyday life without any choice and still remember and be affected by the trauma

I'm still forced to live through more stressful situations all by myself, but in times that are not as desperate I can feel the influence of the others. It doesn't make sense to me

Either my brain is very bad at its job or I'm not a system at all. If that's the case then I just don't know how else to explain my experiences, I can doubt being a system all I want but I can't deny that these experiences did happen and that it all matches with being plural. But it doesn't make sense to not be related to this trauma, unless there's some other trauma I'm not aware of, which is possible

Anyway thanks for reading

Plural culture is thinking there's something wrong with you because you don't really experience switches because you're the host and cannot leave front. The problem with that is, you're the host, and you can't leave front, and you can't remember shit on a good day. (Why don't I get to remember what I ate for dinner? Why?)

This is also a problem because your mind says that you can't actually be plural because of that.

Help.

That sounds similar to our experience as a p-Did system

As our host, I rarely rarely leave front fully (except for recently but that's cuz of some issues going on lol)

But when someone else is in front, I often get amnesia just from them being in co-con. They influence the shit I do to the point I feel more like I'm the body they're piloting at times.

It's something that does make me panic, and feel fake a lot. But it's also something ik a lot of other systems experience. You're not alone, and you are valid

Switching Tips and Info

Hello! We’ve often said here that for our system, switching is involuntary and happens automatically or with the help of our gatekeeper. However, we often get asked here about switching, how it works, how to practice switching, and how to switch for the very first time. In general, we’re probably unequipped to confidently answer these questions. But we’ve decided to put together this post with information we’ve picked up from therapy, research, and learning from other systems. We hope this can help you and your system learn to switch more effortlessly!

Disclaimer: We are not an expert or clinician by any stretch of the word! We are one DID system sharing our experience and information we’ve picked up during our time in treatment and system spaces. This post comes from the perspective of a system with DID, though much of this advice could be potentially useful for all sorts of systems!

What is switching?

Switching is a common occurrence in systems when one headmate swaps places with another in order to perceive and interact with the world. Systems of all sorts can switch, not just those with dissociative disorders like DID or OSDD! Switching can look incredibly different from system to system, and may vary based on a wide variety of factors such as:

System origin

Previous history with switching

Degree of dissociative barriers

Comfort levels with fronting and switching for each headmate

The presence of a system manager or gatekeeper

Safety of the system overall

And more!

Do all systems switch?

No, not every system wants to switch or is capable of switching! Many systems exist with one primary fronter and many headmates who either cofront, are coconscious, or never front to experience the outside world at all. Switching is not a requirement to be a system, and it’s not even a requirement to have a dissociative disorder.

Many systems may find that headmates have switched before without noticing it! Before a system’s “syscovery,” headmates may lose time, experience identity shifts, or interact with other system members without ever realizing that they’re plural. In fact, an overwhelming majority of systems with disorders like DID and OSDD are covert, meaning their switches and other symptoms often go unnoticed by other people or the systems themselves!

How can I switch with my headmates?

We don’t have any surefire way to guarantee switching, as every system is unique and no two systems function in exactly the same way! However, here are some ideas for you and your headmates to try in order to help a switch occur.

1. Open communication

Communicate with as many headmates as you can on a regular basis. Keep an open dialogue, and talk to your headmates about fronting, what that might look like for them, and any worries they have about potentially fronting in the future. Try to address each headmate’s fears and concerns to the best of your ability before expecting them to front. Imagine together what it might look like for other headmates to front. Try to understand what happens to headmates in your system who aren’t fronting: do they enter your system’s headspace/inner world? Do they stop fully existing or enter a sort of stasis? Are they still able to perceive the outside world at all? Having a stable, steady line of communication and an understanding of how your system works can help make it easier to allow other headmates to front when the time comes!

2. Seek out a gatekeeper or system manager

Many, but not all, systems have members whose role is specifically to manage who fronts and control switches. Our own system has a gatekeeper who handles the majority of our switches! If you haven’t already, try to learn whether or not your system already has an established gatekeeper. If you do, establishing a connection with that headmate and communicating with them will be essential for switching in the future.

If your system doesn’t have a gatekeeper/manager, that’s fine! A headmate with this role is not required for system to experience switches. For those who do have them, however, cooperating with managers and gatekeepers can help make switching a smoother, more painless process!

3. Ensure safety

Don’t attempt to switch if your system is not 100% safe, and only try to switch after all headmates involved feel comfortable and secure. NEVER try to force a headmate to switch who doesn’t want to. Respect each other’s boundaries and rights to personal autonomy.

When you’re ready to try and purposefully switch, do so in a safe, comfortable, secluded environment. Try to limit distractions and opportunities for interruptions. Check in with headmates that you have access to, and ensure that everyone feels safe and comfortable before attempting to switch.

For minors, traumagenic systems, and those who currently live with abusers or those who have harmed them: it may be for the best to not attempt to switch until you’re in a situation where you are distanced from those who have caused you harm (be them parents, friends, loved ones, or anyone else). Unfortunately for many systems, this may mean waiting until you have moved out of your family’s home in order to put some space between you and your system’s abusers.

Trying to switch when you’re not 100% sure of your system’s safety could absolutely cause more harm than good! The safety and well-being of your system is more important than providing headmates with opportunities to purposefully switch. There will be plenty of time in your future to learn more about your system and attempt to manage switches! Until then, it’s probably best to allow your system to function in ways that ensure your safety and the safety of your headmates.

4. Use positive triggers

Positive triggers are external stimuli that can help bring certain headmates closer to the front by reminding the system about that headmate and what they enjoy. Having a wide range of positive triggers at your disposal can help make it easier to get a headmate to switch with you! Here are some examples of what positive triggers can look like:

Music for each headmate, including playlists, albums, artists, and songs

Stimboards, moodboards, inspiration boards, and other collections of images that speak out to each headmate

Cooking, preparing, or eating a food, snack, or beverage that a particular headmate enjoys

Engaging with hobbies, media, and activities that a particular headmate is known to like

And more! Get creative with your system and brainstorm different positive triggers you can incorporate into your lives in order to help facilitate switches in the future!

5. Manage expectations

Unfortunately, not all systems are able to switch. Some hosts and other frontstuck headmates may never be able to fully leave the front. Cofronting with another headmate and allowing them to make decisions and treat the body as their own can be a great way to allow other system members to front, even if it’s not a full-fledged “switch.” Switching can look incredibly different for different systems, and even for different headmates in the same system! So don’t be too discouraged if you or your frontstuck members aren’t able to switch out fully - cofronting and being coconscious are both valid ways for other headmates to experience the world.

Where can I learn more about switching?

There’s lots of information out there to help all kinds of systems start learning about or managing switches! Here are some links to websites where you can learn more.

Note: some sites which are geared towards created, spontaneous, or endogenic systems may suggest purposeful dissociation as a way to trigger a switch. While this may be useful for some systems, adding more dissociation to the lives of those already struggling with dissociative disorders is a very bad idea and should be avoided! So if you are diagnosed with a dissociative disorder (DID, OSDD, DPDR, etc.), suspect you may have a dissociative disorder, or suspect your system is trauma-formed, it may be best to avoid following advice from sites aimed towards paromacers, those with thoughtforms, and nontraumagenic systems. For everyone’s convenience, we have starred (*) links to guides which involve purposeful dissociation so systems who already have trouble with dissociation can avoid them! If you’re not sure whether or not your system has dissociation issues, it’s best to PLAY IT SAFE and avoid these kinds of guides. Please use critical thinking and your own discretion when reading about switching online!

Terminology note: some of these sites use “tulpa” language, which is known to be racist and culturally appropriative. Please keep this in mind when browsing these sites. In our personal life, we use “paro/paromancy” language instead to avoid causing further harm to marginalized groups.

Intentional Switching (DID) from DIS-SOS

Switching and Passive Influence from DID-Research.org

*Fuliam’s Guide on how to switch from Tulpa.info*

*Malfael’s Guide to Switching from Tulpanomicon*

Our own resource post for questioning systems has lots of links to resources on dissociative disorders and other forms of plurality, many of which may have sections or advice on switching!

Questions? Comments? Something we missed?

We could write whole books on the many different aspects of switching, and how switches can vary from system to system and headmate to headmate. We’re sorry if we’ve left something out here that you or your system thinks is important! This post didn’t touch on passive influence, rapid switching, physical symptoms of switching, and many other switching-related topics. This is just a general overview with some advice on switching intentionally and voluntarily!

If you have any further questions, feel free to comment on this post or send us an ask and we’d be happy to answer to the best of our ability! We may not have all the answers, but we’re happy to share what we know. If you made it this far, thanks so much for reading! Stay well, and have a great day!
