FUTURE SYSTEM BLOG POSTS/DISCUSSIONS (NOT NECESSARILY A SCHEDULE)
•°•-Persecutors, prosecutors, and malicitors- Even shitty headmates have purpose and function within a system and what happens when that headmate is no longer fulfilling that function
•°•-Mixed origin systems and how you might be more mixed origin than you think (debunking the binary traumagenic/endogenic definitions and expanding upon it)
•°•-DID/OSDD and how limited these diagnoses are
•°•-OSDD expansion pack (OSDD1a/1b/2b/1t/2t, etc)
expanding on that- osdd subsystems in a did system/vice versa
•°•-How different system structures present within one or multiple systems/subsystems
•°•-High system communication but low system respect (everyone hates each other) how to deal with this lol
•°•-Polyfragmentation and system resets
•°•-Specific headmate mental illness presentation and function (and why you still ALL have that disorder)
DESPITE A SLOW uPDATE SCHEDuLE, WE ARE TRYING TO GET THESE TOPICS OuT AS QuICKLY AS WE CAN, SO LOOK FORWARD TO IT. WE HAVE MANY THOuGHTS. AuTISTIC THOuGHTS.
(alt text: despite a slow update schedule, we are trying to get these topics out as quickly as we can, so look foreward to it. we have many thoughts. autistic thoughts.)

when one of your headmates triggers your partner system: ???
We've been having a problem regarding a headmate of ours who reminds our wifes system of an abusive family member. The headmate in question is a prosecutor in our system and has caused some issues in the past due to this, but it has gotten to the point where said headmate can't even front or be in the cofront at all without our partner having to leave the house and be insanely triggered.
Our initial resolution to this was to not allow this headmate to front at all, but she has been repeatedly having breakdowns in headspace over us denying her autonomy. she (and others in our system, including me) think that its not fair to deny her a life in the outerworld and she particularly feels punished for crimes she did not commit, but to most of us the health of our partner far outweighs any internal issues that could arise from this, even though we recognize our headmates as fully fleshed people who exist and deserve to live.
we're writing this post because we wonder if any systems in relationships with other systems experience something like this. We're trying to hear other perspectives and try to formulate a plan of action so that we can keep our partner safe while letting this headmate have some semblance of a life if possible. We've had an internal vote but it ended up being 50/50 on whether to let her front or not.

Personally as another prosecutor in the system i dont feel good about not letting this headmate exist, i feel like if the tables were turned id be pretty fucked up about it too. shes also someone i consider a friend to some degree more than my other headmates and the way they gang up on her because of this makes me pissed as hell but i really dont have a real choice in the matter so. has anyone else had this issue ?

important to note our partners health is obviously the priority here, we dont resent them for this or anything like. we get it
Medical perspectives and DID/OSDD: How Community has Become More Credible than Capitalism
Medical and psychological perspectives on systemhood tends to be used as the end-all-be-all of knowledge about how systems function, but the current dsm-5 criteria regarding DID/OSDD only contains 5 basic criteria, with no elaboration. Why is this? Why do the researched differences between DID and OSDD differ for every resource you find online?
Upon realizing how unreliable research on these disorders can be, newer systems may be stuck searching for research to help them that fundamentally doesn't exist. Baseline medical knowledge can be great for systems who have just begun to explore their systemhood and need the knowledge that a doctor might provide. A new system may speak with therapists and specialists to help them find some sort of structure within their system, and this is a good place to start, But it is important to note that DID/OSDD is understudied.
The difficult truth of the matter is that under capitalism, true and unbiased research on these disorders may never be funded or completed. The Medical Industrial Complex does not put money (or thought) into things that are not considered "curable" via medication or something that can be bought, as medicine under capitalism involves selling treatments for profit, not true research. This is fundamentally why DID/OSDD has not been truly researched in the modern era, with most medical sources being older than 20-30 years old. This is also why many (if not most) therapists and doctors will view final integration as the only form of acceptable living as a system. A medical disorder is only truly considered to be "cured" by making it cease to exist, if treatments cannot solve it. We see this with many personality disorders and neurodiversities. While functional multiplicity is possible and regarded as the final goal for many systems, it has not been recognized as a true solution for the medical community.
It should also be noted that the medical industries inherently under-study disorders when presented in people of color, women, disabled people, etc. the medical perspective on DID/OSDD is skewed as it has been studied by cisgender white abled men, on cisgender white abled men with did/osdd. If all research that is done is only conducted on one specific group, and is affected by things like racism/ableism etc, it cannot be applied to those not living under that specific lense, while also due to the nature of the Medical Industry itself will be under/misdiagnosed in those not falling under the "right" criteria. It is also seen that since most sources are older and research is drawn from a controlled environment (ie: hospital patients most likely in distress, not healthy patients living independently) no research actually consults people with the disorder that are living in their natural state, therefore doctors are not viewing the disorder in its natural state, further skewing research.
That, above all else, is the inherent issue regarding did/osdd research: they are not talking to us. They are not hearing system perspectives from actual systems existing and living as systems. This is why, more than any medical perspective, always listen to actual systems in real life. It is so, so important to interact with other systems as a system. Other systems will provide infinitely more knowledge than any medical professional, and the community that can be built is stronger than the inherent stigma created by the Medical complex. Systems are more complex than any singlet doctor will ever know, and who better to explore that with as a system, than with the infinitely diverse and knowledgeable community of people living with DID/OSDD in real life?
In conclusion, we are not asking you to discredit the medical perspective completely, only to understand how the research and information provided has a long, long way to go. We have seen many systems online discrediting other systems for things such as functional multiplicity, origin, system structure and identification, using the medical criteria exclusively to identify what being a system means. All we ask is that you consider how that criteria may not apply to everyone.
We understand so many systems feeling isolated and alone in their systemhood and only feeling safe existing as a system in online spaces, but as someone who has an entire group of friends consisting of systems, who live as systems in their daily lives and grow together in the real world:
So much online system discourse stemming from a skewed medical perspective can all be shut down by just closing your computer and talking to real systems in the world around you. Live with us and listen to us and realize that nobody actually cares about that stupid bullshit in real life. Discourse always seems so stupid once you understand that you can exist in a community with people that experience things different from you and you can all learn from each other.

SLURMSYS INTRO POST
adult/dyke/npd haver and VERY vocal about it/system
we love maskmaking and practical effects!! talk to us about horror movies!!

Our understanding of our system and systemhood as a whole comes from both our experiences as a system and other systems we know and have formed a community with irl. Our experiences are not going to be universal or apply to every system, as DID/OSDDetc is a very personal and diverse disorder. We may explore very abstract topics in relation to systemhood that will be built less out of a medical perspective (which we tend to consider unreliable as singlets have a very simplistic concept of systemhood as a whole) and more out of a personal system phenomenon. We take medical theories and information on DID/OSDDetc into account, but don't see medical ideas as objective fact so much as theory that is heavily just singlet doctor perspective and god what the fuck would they know
