Really great and informative video! But I have a small question: is the host always an ANP and an introject always an EP? I'm the host of our system and I'm a fictive, so does that mean I've deviated and aren't strictly an introject anymore, or is that possible? We have a relatively small system of 8, if that helps. Thanks again for the great video!

Step 1 is that I honestly probably wouldn't worry about it too much, haha. ANP/EP designation is quite formal and specifically refers to structural dissociation models. Quick information blast: -The role of host is a very fluid one, and can be held by both EPs and ANP's (though as I mention, it's usually ANPs due to the fact that ANP's are set up to deal with daily life). -Because Fictive/Factive is more of an alter type than role [in that it's less fluid], they're usually EP's - but, bc DID can have multiple ANP's, it's also possible that fictives can develop as ANP's because the brain recognizes that character as someone who would be able to get through similar trauma by dealing with daily life, and thus becomes an intoject. -Introjects can gravitate away from the person they intojected from, but I wouldn't intrinsically tie this in with role change. (one of our alters started as a fictive, but no longer identifies as one - and hasn't changed roles). I'm obviously not in your head, so I can't tell you what's going on! Therapists are the best at that. But it's totally possibly for you to hold both roles as an introject and a host. Your ANP/EP designation will come from thinking about why you first split, and the situations around that [as an alter, did you split to hold/process/in reaction to trauma, or to live/deal with daily life without the impacts of what happened?]. Good luck on your journey! 💜

We just found out about an alter that is a war veteran. She clearly struggles with ptsd and has flashbacks to the war she fought in. She has pledged herself to protect a girl she saved on the field and calls her her "sister." She is a very interesting and unique part of our system that we just learned about. She doesn't quite fit any of the boxes and she is still coming to terms with being a part of a system but we love and care for her already.

I'm a bit late, but we have an alter that's very similar. He has pseudomemories/trauma of WWII and used to be a sort of "locked" alter (or hidden away from the rest of the system at first), found him a few years ago. He also doesn't fit into any specific role, he's still trying to wrap the thought of being in a system around his head. We think the memories might be a very abstract interpretation of some of our trauma, but we're not quite sure. He's still as valid as anyone else :)

i've been wondering if i have osdd-1b for months now, and this video made me feel a bit better. the only alter i'm 100% sure of existing is a fictional introject of my all time favorite character / comfort character. he definitely seems to serve as an ep and has developed more of his own identity over time, but still seems to identify as an introject due to that being his source. he's 19 (despite the character in canon being 20, and the body being 17) which i find interesting. i still have a lot of doubts about all this, but it was nice to feel a little bit more valid and a little bit less like i'm just faking everything.

Well I either am not a system (I'm in the research phase here) or my brain is dumb because from what I know I've got: - me, who's out 9999% of the time dispite being made entirely out of anxiety - A caretaker who rarely comes out and can also be really dogmatic. - An EP trauma holder - A persecutor - A dormant protector who did absolutely 0 protecting (the last time he came out was on holiday and he literally just came out because I was wearing his coat.) No littles (though I age regress) no gatekeeper, no ANPs that we know of. I'm very new so perhaps I don't know all of them but. I keep going round in circles, like I spent a whole year not thinking about systems/ my weird brain, but lo! They keep coming back! Idk perhaps it's something else.

Alter roles aren't required, either for individual alters to have them or to have a specific type! Someone can have no littles/no whatever and that's totally valid ❤️

Is it possible for alter types to be all different ages? For example, could a protector be a little, or a persecutor be a middle? Or do some alters always just default to the body's age or even adult alters?

@TheRingsSystem

Alter types can be all sorts of ages! Some types generally gravitate towards certain ages, such as protectors/caretakers generally being older due to the brain seeing older individuals as being able to protect/care for the system. But there's not hard and fast rule here :)

Hi! So our co-host, Kate (male) is an EP, but also a protector. There are so many things he does. He protects us, both mentally and physically, is fronting often - whenever we talk to friends (his trauma is associated with betrayal, so he protects from bad people and friends. He can see through people very well. We really appreciate him, and he does a lot to help us. - Host- Arya/Phoenix

As current host looking back to when we were more stable, we decided on roles for each other, rather than it being a formal system. We figured that Butch's personality, for example, would fit very well with being a protector, and so she decided to accept that role. Mamabear felt very calm and relaxing, and had a calming effect on anybody in the front, so she decided to take on the role of caretaker. It was less a formal designation based on characteristics and more a job that you chose. The only exception to this was host, which was just a label for whoever tended to front more than 30-40% of the time.

Yo. I feel like you just named us all. 😂 Thank you for making us feel valid. I'm the only one who believes we exist. The host or what, the prime, is in a little denial. She's a little naive and all. Though she calls for our mom like a little baby when she breaks down, but still won't fully accept that the sexual abuser and all the others has made us. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Idk it's just validating. Thanks again.

Our first alter that I dont even know if its here or nah was when we "played" that we had 2 souls in one body so there would be "my two personalities" lol

I want to thank you so much for creating this youtube channel. It's really difficult to find OSDD systems talking about their experience and I can't even seem to find much OSDD specific research. You're incredible.

I may be a system and I've been showing signs since before I knew about dissociative disorders. I have alters but I just call them alter egos out of anxiety that I may some how accidentally be faking. I recall at some points during childhood entire moments would be erased. One second I'm inside having a conversation with my brother and next second I'm in the car confused as hell because he's telling my mom we had an argument and I was being really rude. There's several moments similar where I've hit people or stood up and shouted and I have absolutely no recollection. There was once I was in the middle of an extremely triggering situation. (Two people had just fought on the bus and one of the guys had left but the one that was still there was punching the bus and yelling super fucking loudly) The only thought in my mind was "Shut yo bitch ass mouth up", "Shut the fuck up", and "No no no" And all of a sudden my vision blanks and I feel myself stand up. I hear the words "SHUT YOUR FUCKING BITCH ASS MOUTH UP!" escape my lips in a really raspy yell and I hear myself yelling at him for making my sister cry. I was clenching my fists and shaking my friend had to get between us and I didn't know what to do cause the guy was threatening to fight me so I just quietly sat back down. I think I shed one tear and my only focus was keeping my sister safe. I felt different like as if I was a different flavor on my own tongue almost the entire event.

@TheRingsSystem

If you're internal and one alter isn't acknowledging: Try your best to be patient and understanding. The host is probably really scared of the rest of the system and in denial, and doesn't know what to do so is trying to forget about it. Be persistent and caring, and know that it's not about you guys - it's something the host is working through for themself. If you can, I'd leave some resources open on computers/phones for them :) If you are an external (bodily separate) person, I honestly might stay out of it a bit more. At the end of the day, you're not a therapist and can't diagnose someone - only gently support them and suggest they see a therapist. Talk openly and honestly about mental health around them, and assure them that if they sought help it wouldn't be a sign of weakness.

Thanks for explaining about Persecutor alters. I've got a clearer idea of their behaviour now.

Thank you so much for talking about persecutors in a more positive aspect. It's hard living with persecutors, but like stated, they are people too amd deserve kindness, compassion, and support like every other alter

sorry for this late comment, but i have an alter who, when i was younger, i imagined to be my late older sister. this alter calms me down and heals me when in a traumatic situation. i guess i thought my older sister could protect me, but since shes not here, an alter introduced itself in the form of her. this means she's an introject, right? can an alter be a caretaker and an introject at the same time?

I'm not sure if this is normal or if I'm just imagining it.

I'm not even sure but the protector is Jay, they shut down my body when either I'm in trouble or when there's conflict going on around me. There's another one but idk there name, it's like there a little kid just running around and always wanting to play there very cooperative with me when I need to handle certain things but sometimes when I say no they throw a fit which leads me to cry for a bit and just stay in my bed. They won't tell their name either it's like a game..

Hey quick question. I'm pretty sure I'm a system since the symptoms and experiences from other sytems line up with how I have felt, but I haven't gotten to the point where my alters communicate with me clearly and I can notice front switches/when someone's co-fronting. I assume with time I'll be able to dp that, but do you have any advice on how to reach that point? I'm tired of being unsure if I have it you know

Question I have been wondering Can alters have other disorders like can they be deaf or can they have autism or do they specifically have a nerotipical brain. Also can some alters have no access to the front. I have also heard that already existing alters can split is that true? Can already existing people of fairytale people become an alter?

@TheRingsSystem

5 жыл бұрын

Hello! There's no 100% evidence that introjects are only EP's, but they tend to heavily gravitate towards being EPs. This is due to why introjects form - the brain recognizes a character/person that could help them live through abuse/would protect them/would be a better mom/relates to specifically because of the abuse they're going through, ect, and thus an introject forms. All these processes directly stem from abuse, protection from/care during abuse, and reactions to abuse, and thus are classified as EPs. As I stated in another comment, "Because [introjects] are more of an alter type than role [in that it's less fluid], they're usually EP's - but, bc DID can have multiple ANP's, it's also possible that introjects can develop as ANP's because the brain recognizes that character as someone who would be able to get through similar trauma by dealing with daily life, and thus becomes an intoject."

definitely. Essentially DID is separations of self, due to trauma making it hard for them to integrate (to block out trauma). Before the ages of 7-9, this is how a child brain is, DID is where these EPs and different parts (formed in early childhood) don't fuse into one identity. Where as not having DID, all of these alters and such, are fused as one, so 100% your self can take on many roles within the one identity :) And people with C-PTSD (but no DID/OSDD) can have fragments (EPs) that are triggered by certain memories of trauma (PTSD is too, primary structural dissociation). I have C-PTSD (and potentially OSDD) but find that viewing my fragments/EPs that are triggered by trauma memory subconsciously, as individuals in a system, helps me have compassion for these parts of myself (that as an older child I grew to feel shame for.. but am now learning to validate them and understand them, and therefore try to help them process trauma so they can integrate). We all have an inner voice, that can be encouraging or negative or persecutory.. for DID this is more separated as a separate alter, where as more integrated people can still have these facets within their identity, I feel. I think talk to your persecutory self inwardly, and tell them the way they're talking to you sometimes isn't fair and you understand they want to help (persecutors are misguided protectors).

i was wondering though, can you have DID without amnesia? im doing research because i was under the suspicion that i had some sort of DID and alot of the stuff makes sense and i relate to it but, i dont have the amnesia so i was just wondering /gen

Probably you've already found out since the comment is of 2 months ago- but DID without amnesia is actually called OSDD-1b, its exactly like DID but the only amnesia you have is emotional amnesia, you remember the things and events and all that stuff but don't really know what you felt. There's actually (at least) a video about OSDD in this channel /info

How do I find out what rolls each does in my own system? I really want to find out who my gate keeper is and stuff. I know I have a physical protector (Lukas) and an emotional protector (Tabitha- she was also a persecutor but she stopped being like that after I told her I loved her and she is safe- she just needed love)... Monroe is like a mush mashed roll.... also have a sxual alter who has her own sxual alter too, also have an alien alter... no idea how I’d develop and alien alter though.

I have one question, i have an alter that can't feel any emotion other than happy and angry. They physically can't frown or be sad and it makes them a bit upset that they can't feel anything other than that. Would they still be considered an emotional part?

Are they a little/ a middle? I think our littles are like that emotionally. Happy, angry, or desperate(meltdown). I have been frustrated by them fronting and provoking all this drama, until I found out about did. Now I am slowly learning to love and protect them (I am a teen persecutor), consider that as normal for the emotional development of a little, and recognize that my emotional development is also immature (happy/angry, no meltdowns). The body is 40 years old, we do have a protector of that age, she is kind but we surely need her fronting more those days. She says she gives me time to front and to process trauma, but it s hard for me to cook, clean the house, take care of our dog etc and process trauma at the same time. I am not that efficient in adult responsibilities and I am also overwhelmed by all the did and realizing being an alter stuff. This started as a response to a yt comment, me not knowing who I am, and developped into becoming practically a note to the rest of the system that a teen alter needs their help and support. So I think I can leave it here, maybe new systems could relate🙊 Good luck to you all💓

Ok so I have a question I’ve been wanting to know. How do you get your system name? Do you name it yourself, or does everyone work together to come up with a name or is it just there??

Questioning OSDD-1b system here- can't get diagnosed because we got trust issues and even if we hadn't our main protector wouldn't let us. We also are most likely endogenic or weak af since we haven't gone through trauma (only a short shtty period of our life + abt a year or so of depression), we are... 9 alters? I think we're 9- and got acknowledged pretty recently. At first the person that was here splitted into 2 (a little and me, im the "mature" part and the little is the immature part), then alters started appearing pretty fast. (Change of alter writing cuz we are 2 fronting atm, the only 2 interested in learning abt this.) Caretaker here, and we appeared cuz the "mature" host wouldn't stop asking for stuff, like a caretaker (me) or an alien (which got to be a persecutor too, here you got the karma). We consider the two alters that splitted (little and the other) are the hosts since we don't really know which arrived first- and I am about 14 "physically" in the headspace but im still more mature than that (idek my exact mental age). Most of us aren't human either, the only human ones are the main protector and the other caretaker (emotional caretaker, and she takes care of people outside the system too), the rest of us are demons ("mature" host, secondary protector w/ anger issues and me), a... cat? (little host), an alien, a shadow and a- uh- water creature little(?). This is a real mess 😅 We don't have introjects (yet) cuz we find them no use in this system (they might be useful for other systems tho). Anyways we are rambling, thanks for the videos even though they were made a bunch of years ago 👋 (We were cofronting while writing this so thats why its kinda messy- hehe sry 😅)

I somhow ended up being a protector, ish, and a gatekeeper.

I’m still figuring out my name, and role. I’m a male in the system, I’m 14. Is there any way I can figure out what I am? There is an alter that already has a name but doesnt know her role, her name is Alice. I have no other info on her... Sincerely, idk

For names, go to popular baby name websites and look through some names, and see what sticks :) For figuring out who you are, look at your environment and build from there. If there's a blanket next to you, do you like being under it, or not touching it? Eat some food from the kitchen - do you like it? What do you like about it? What colors are standing out to you as being pleasant? ect :)

Can one of my traits or alters die?

Alters cannot die the same way physical things can die - they are a part of your brain/consciousness! However, they can go dormant for long amounts of time, or integrate with another alter ❤️

04 and 14 are watching these instead of doing anything else, but "Littles staying the same age--02's face when he figured out he's been seven for fifteen years was hilarious..." and "things that start out as interjects don't have to stay that..." 04 wants to show this to everyone that has issues with 05 but 04 05 and 06 are having a hellova spat right now which is also why we're watching these 14 says: ihopeyoudon'tmind srry

I mean, you can and we will answer, because we can't stop you from writing and if we can't stop you we're gonna at least try to help improve your writing. However, we highly encourage LOTS AND LOTS of research before you try to start writing a character with DID, if you even attempt it - because if you don't have DID yourself, it's very hard to write accurately and safely. This is a very complex and sensitive issue, and we are a community that faces massive stigma and violence, so you need to make sure you're doing this correctly and not adding to that stigma. So, you can ask us questions, but if through the questions it's clear you don't understand what DID is on a basic level, we're going to send you resources or encourage you to write a character without DID. (and let me be clear: my channel or other DID channels are not good enough when it comes to doing reading and research about DID) (and sorry if this comes off harshly, we've had a lot of bad experiences with people writing DID characters and don't want to repeat them.)

As a newly discovered system, is it possible to not have an ANP? Can a host also be a sexual alter? Can a protector become a co host? These are all things I feel like could be happening in my system that I am unable to really understand

Is it possible for the host to remember trauma?

Yes! Especially in OSDD-1b. From did-research.org "Individuals with OSDD-1b may have a harder time escaping from knowledge of their trauma and the internal reactions which this incites."

Is it possible for members of a system to be NH and still have a core task? We directly can't identify as human without our prosecutors waking up, so most of the system is nonhuman or humanoid.

is it okay if nobody can tell who is who? i know there’s someone in here who’s 17, someone who’s super analytical, someone who uses she/her, and someone who is far less capable of masking autistic traits- but that’s all i know so far. i don’t even know who i am rn. none of us know our names, genders, pronouns… is this normal? valid?

In our system there isnt someone that is fronting the most at this moment because the host isnt mentally stable enough. Right now he cant do anything done (a new trauma happened recently while he was fronting) and now we are doing it like this: a few weeks/days the main fronter will be someone and then we change. The thing is that i dont think that Ren (our current host) was always the host. I have theory: In the past, before the trauma that started it all i remember that our first host was super sweet, childish and was helping everyone. That continues till this year in January. She has noticed that she was special and stuff but then something happened and Ren started to front out of nowhere and our first host didnt even realised it. Ren started to use the body more and more and more. But here is a thing, we have a little in our system named Candy and she says that she is 8. She fits perfectly in how i remember our first host to be before february. Is this even possible? Ty for listening
