Reblog if your blog is a safe space for these identities: agender, demiboy, demigirl, genderfluid, non-binary, and transgender!

Not-so-friendly reminder that you cannot be a system without trauma.

Some more proof; done by me, a person living with DID.

This is not syscourse, this is fact.

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Illness (DSM-5), a history of childhood abuse and neglect is prevalent in 90% of cases of dissociative identity disorder (DID). The remaining cases involve medical trauma, terrorism, and childhood prostitution. Ninety percent is overwhelming. Other research claims that rates of abuse and neglect in DID are actually much higher.

DID develops in response to severe, recurring trauma in childhood. Children are not fully equipped to cope with continued, severe instances of abuse, so they may develop dissociation as a survival skill, which can then develop into DID. It makes sense, then, that the rate of childhood abuse and neglect in people with DID is so high.

The authors interviewed 102 individuals with clinical diagnoses of multiple personality disorder at four centres using the Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule. The patients reported high rates of childhood trauma: 90.2% had been sexually abused, 82.4% physically abused, and 95.1% subjected to one or both forms of child abuse. Over 50% of subjects reported initial physical and sexual abuse before age five. The average duration of both types of abuse was ten years, and numerous different perpetrators were identified. Subjects were equally likely to be physically abused by their mothers or fathers. Sexual abusers were more often male than female, but a substantial amount of sexual abuse was perpetrated by mothers, female relatives, and other females. Multiple personality disorder appears to be a response to chronic trauma originating during a vulnerable period in childhood.

Causes

The main cause of DID is believed to be severe and prolonged trauma experienced during childhood, including emotional, physical or sexual abuse.

The development of dissociative identity disorder is understood to be a result of several factors:

Recurrent episodes of severe physical, emotional or sexual abuse in childhood.

Absence of safe and nurturing resources to overwhelming abuse or trauma.

Ability to dissociate easily.

Development of a coping style that helped during distress and the use of splitting as a survival skill.

While abuse is frequently present, it cannot be assumed that family members were involved in the abuse.

Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is the result of repeated or long-term childhood trauma, most frequently child abuse or neglect, that is often combined with disorganized attachment or other attachment disturbances. DID cannot form after ages 6-9 because individuals older than these ages have an integrated self identity and history. Trauma later in life can lead to posttraumatic stress disorder or complex posttraumatic stress disorder, other dissociative disorders including other specified dissociative disorder, somatic symptom disorders, or possibly borderline personality disorder, but DID requires an unintegrated mind to form.

We do not support endos here.

If your an endo "system" FUCK OFf

How endos hurt the wider system community

I’ve seen some people confused on how endogenic people hurt systems so here’s a list of things they do! I might’ve missed something so feel free to add on in comments/re-blogs

Also, before this starts:Our stance on endos varies from alter to alter but the widest understanding is that most of them are misdiagnosing or not aware of their trauma. But still, they’re causing real harm so we dislike them.

1:”Demedicalizing” systemhood

A thing we’ve seen endogenics talking about no longer classifying systemhood as a disorder. This would make proper diagnosing and finding resources even harder. This also includes the fact they argue that systems can form without trauma. With all scientific evidence, endogenics do not exist. Systems come from repeated childhood trauma that stops a child’s personality from developing normally. 

2:Attacking systems

So many systems have been attacked by endos for stuff as simple as having endos in their dni. Considering that these are already traumatized people this is incredibly shitty. I’ve seen them send death threats in vivid detail. I’ve seen them brag about offending traumagenic systems.There’s also words like syscum or traumascum. It’s all very weird

3:Spreading misinformation  

This plays into the first point but the very idea of an endogenic system is misinformation. You cannot choose to split off alters, and trying to can be very harmful. And increases the chances of systems getting attacked for having certain alters. “System hoping” cannot happen and is used to hurt systems who are in vulnerable positions. And most importantly you cannot have a system without childhood trauma.

4:Invading traumagenic spaces

Let’s say hypothetically endogenic systems were a real thing. There is no current scientific baking to this but lets act like there was. They would still be invading our spaces. System communities are safe spaces for traumatized people and endogenics often invade them. It makes those spaces feel less safe

That’s all we have for now. Again feel free to add on. We ask endos do not interact with this(like every post on this blog)

i ahvent consumed any markiplier lore content since 4 years ago this is my recollection of their dynamic

Anti: Don’t worry, I’ve got a few knives up my sleeve.

Illinois: I think you mean cards.

Chase: He did not.

Anti, pulling out knives: I did not.

Observation #1: The prefix "a-" means "none", such as in "asexual", "apolitical" and "Atheism".

Observation #2: The word "unicorn" is a combination of "uni", meaning "one", and "cornus", meaning "horn".

Conclusion:

This is an acorn.

There he goes, whoring himself out for charity again
