This is an important topic, and it would make my day if you read even some of this. You shouldnt feel forced to read it, but whether you are a singlet or a system, this information is good to know /gen

We are a (currently undiagnosed) OSDD 1B system of around 54 known alters. We’ve seen an increase in people faking DID/OSDD, and also a horrifying amount of misinformation about DID/OSDD. So, we are going to do a short explanation of why being a system is extremely hard, and why you dont want to be one.
Whether you have DID or OSDD, every alter doesnt have full access to all memories. They might have emotional amnesia or full amnesia for the event. This can make remembering things you learn in school, and even who a close family member is, extremely hard. Since you switch, you dont always get to be fronting, of course. So, you never get to fully experience life on your own, you have to share it with others. Communication within systems is extremely difficult in the beginning, and for some, it always will be. At times, you dont know who is fronting, and who you are as a person. You dissociate for long periods of time. There are MANY more struggles that would take so long to list here. Every day has its own struggles for us systems. Some days are better than others, but some are so bad that you just sit there for hours, wishing you weren’t a system, that you could just be normal.
Systems are frequently told that we are overreacting, or faking our disorders. We are told that we are wrong and uneducated. We are told that we dont have it that bad, or that we dont have it bad enough, to be considered valid. In reality, the people who are spreading these complete lies, are in the wrong.
Systems, you are valid. Everything you go through is valid. You are such unique people. You are all loved by our system, and many others. If you ever need help with anything system related, send us a message, and we will help out as soon as possible.
Thank you so much for reading. If you have questions, send us a message or comment. -Tyler(He/Him) from The Sapling System
