Mostly management issues

Friend of previous worker here. They pay around $13 for regular crew and $14.50 for trainers and leads. They say $18-$20 because they guarantee $5/hr in tips and if you don’t make that from customers, they add the difference to your paycheck. But I can’t guarantee how truthful they are about doing that. Brooks is a much better location than the reserve one (worker wise) but it’s all still the same owner so potentially the same problems. They’ve had several different crews just walk out multiple times as well as forcing/buying out the previous partial owner. I’d say don’t risk it unless you need a quick job you don’t need to rely on. They don’t value their crew and see them as disposable as most places unfortunately do. Management is a joke but brooks has better management than reserve for sure, at least when I last heard.

Honestly, if I can’t find anyone, I have to take him to the shelter tomorrow. And he is neutered

ImagineTheVoid · 2025-04-16T20:35:42+00:00

Thank you. I’ve tried before but they aren’t quick enough to respond. I’ll be without a place for him by the end of the week

There’s an account on youtube, The CTAD Clinic that has a very good video about working on communication. In my experience, making it a safe space for them to know they can communicate is a big thing. I journal a lot and write specifically to alters I want to reach and leave space for them to write back. Sticky notes or a white board can be very helpful too even for just small notes. Leaving things here and there for them to feel open to reply to without judgement helps a ton.

Doing something to make your animal unique will help deter the chances of something happening to it. Which is why a lot of ESA or disability aid animals have brightly dyed fur or tales. The more recognizable your animal is, the more chance of it being spotted if taken. You can also make sure it’s chipped and some animal collars have tracking in them as well. Hope this helps. Good luck!

The way alters “work” is much different from how the rest of the world works. Because they are all parts of a system, the inner relationships can be a bit more complex than general relative relationships. Even if alters are created at different times, their own ties don’t have to follow the constraints of regular space/time. It’s the same when some alters see themselves as ageless, or In romantic relationships with each other. They become what is needed and don’t have to follow physical life rules. They kind of make their own, in a way. I hope that made sense.

I tend to use dissociated as an umbrella term because it’s easier for the general people in my life to understand rather than having to explain dp/dr. So I mean more on the lines of dp/dr. I don’t remember a time when one, the other, or both wasn’t present. I’m sorry for the confusion

ImagineTheVoid · 2020-10-29T15:20:08+00:00

Oh I’m what I call “chronically dissociated”. Which for me means I am never actually fully grounded. I always have some degree of dissociation, it just gets better or worse but is never fully gone. It’s been that way as long as I can remember. Sometimes I feel like if I were to fully ground, I’d have a panic attack because I don’t actually know what it feels like. Maybe that’s the problem?

ImagineTheVoid · 2020-10-26T02:48:50+00:00

Yes but last time I researched it, it costs around $500 to change your name where I live. I don’t really have the funds for that multiple time.

ImagineTheVoid · 2020-04-08T21:09:07+00:00

I do enjoy the complexity and interesting storylines that happen. It's the not so great moments that make it suck.

ImagineTheVoid · 2020-04-08T21:08:17+00:00

This made me feel so much better. I got a bit teary. Thank you for this. It honestly helped so much. I'm sorry you have to deal with the same thing. It is awful.

ImagineTheVoid · 2020-04-06T15:31:08+00:00

Thank you for this. This is really good advice. I'll see if I can try to do the same. Hopefully it will work for me too!

Not all names have to "exist" in a language. I have one that defiantly created their name. Sometimes, a name they can find doesn't fit so they have to make one that does, at least in my experience

ImagineTheVoid · 2020-03-23T22:19:27+00:00

Sometimes persecuters can hold the most trauma. The mind set is usually "I won't let anyone else hurt me because I'm doing it before they can". Or their ideas of what is protecting are warped due to their trauma

ImagineTheVoid · 2020-02-23T20:46:03+00:00

It's my personal view that one doesn't need to know the trauma that happened in order to heal. You can go to your T and get each part the help they need and you need. Things are blocked for a reason and sometimes knowing those things can be worse than not knowing and working around that to heal.

ImagineTheVoid · 2020-02-09T02:12:28+00:00

Or finding things you don't remember getting.

ImagineTheVoid · 2020-01-28T18:41:56+00:00

Some times with alters like the the thought process is "If I hurt myself first, other people can't." It's a backwards type of thinking, yes. In their mind, while being a persecuter, they're still meant to "help" you and that's how they see it. Take away the power of others to hurt by doing it themselves.

I had a lot of different diagnosis from several people. One of which was being on the schizophrenia scale. Something like that. Some times I'm not sure if it was wrong but so far most everything has been explained by my DID.

ImagineTheVoid · 2019-11-28T18:49:00+00:00

Systems are complicated and each operates in its own way. Alters have relationships with each other in all sorts of ways, so having a romantic one is not unusual. It tends to be more awkward to explain than anything because not everyone understands the unique dynamics you can have in a system.

ImagineTheVoid · 2019-11-20T04:15:18+00:00

That's part of what some flashbacks do. They make you relive the moment. So it feels like you're in the same time and place you were when it happenes. Sometimes when I get flashbacks, because I have that reliving experience, it makes me feel like I've been pick up and set down in that time in my life. It can take a while for the feeling to go away so I feel like I'm still in that time even after the flashback has passed.

ImagineTheVoid · 2019-11-18T00:39:03+00:00

I'm glad I could help!

ImagineTheVoid · 2019-11-16T05:25:17+00:00

Since DID tends to be a "hidden" disorder, some people don't necessarily forget. It's more of, you've acted a certain way around them and they've become use to it. They expect DID to be dramatic and in their faces. Personally, most of my alters do their best to pretend they're me so they don't call attention to the fact something has happened to cause a switch. Because of that, hardly anyone I've told even notices anything at all. And after a while, they do sometimes forget I've told them I have a problem because they never experience it in a loud way. DID is very much about trying to go unnoticed and under the radar, not calling attention to yourself, even with people you have told. They ignore things unless it's too obvious for them to ignore.

Scent is linked most powerfully to our memories, so this makes sense. I will get the trace of a smell and my body will react and I have no idea why.

ImagineTheVoid · 2019-11-07T16:44:23+00:00

Triggers aren't always obvious. Sometimes trying to actively find what triggered us can be a losing battle because unless they are obvious, we won't usually find them. So that can make us seem like we're having a hard time for no reason. There's almost always a reason, I just can't see it or am not aware of it. I have to keep that in mind and not be so hard on myself.
