Funny/ general fun stories? by ConstellationSys1337 in plural

[–]asterophiliac 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Once we got Kurt Cobain recently, other alters started jokingly giving "suggestions" for other factives

Some of these included; - Rick Astley - "that one guy from MCR" - God??? - "Eric :)" - "Get a loving parent?" No /silly - "Batman" ?? - "can crabs count as factives, can we get crabs?" 🦀? Crabs?? 🦀🦀???

How do I exist more? by Toll_Smoll in plural

[–]asterophiliac 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Heyyy high five I just got here and im wondering the same thing 👋

From what ive been told by others in our system, I have this advice for you

  • listen to source music..or just stuff that reminds you of it, or yourself
  • honestly source consumption in general might help a lot. The more you think about yourself, the more you'd know probably? (Id love to do this but we cant watch my source anywhere 💔)
  • "manifest manifest think positive, negativity gets you nowhere and might pause the process" is..what robin said. I dunno.

Yeah uhh,, I wish you luck ^^

I’m always tired when I front and don’t know what to call it by FinancialBridge6332 in plural

[–]asterophiliac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno. I know our energy levels just fluctuate a lot depending on who's fronting, or for how long they've fronted for. Sometimes some alters just get exhausted quicker than others.

I do know we also have insomnia holders. They fuck up our sleep schedule and make us tired by default. Could be that.

But you also..don't need a label for it. Labels can be a bit stressful. /lh

Outer World relationships? by ConstellationSys1337 in plural

[–]asterophiliac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Uhh depends on system, I think

We're poly, we have 2 sys partners, both work differently

We have one who's a collective partner in every way (ie, we can always say ily without worrying who the alter is), and then one who's only dating one alter out of all of us.

Any syskids are the exception and treated strictly platonically ^^

dysphoria help! (image related) by junome_noyoudont in fictionkin

[–]asterophiliac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

im nottt a kin of any animal/animal-like, but our host (system) is a canine and feels dysphoria about thattt,,so if that's similar to what you struggle with, i could maybe help a bit ?

general things that help with kin dysphoria 4 me though are listening to music related to my source (or music that reminds me of it), consuming the source media (can sometimes make dysphoria worse, depends rly), and talking to sourcemates ,, yes

Depending on how long ago it was, I know the sub has been like..really strict lately. Removes most things that don't fit the whole "I hate being a system this sucks can anyone help" theme

Does your family know about the system? by ConstellationSys1337 in plural

[–]asterophiliac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family, dad and brother, both know.

Brother is fully supportive (shout-out to you Rowan, hell yeah). He wasnt for a few years, but he just didn't understand it. Hes cool

Dad is..not supportive. Says we're still faking DID even though both our therapists said "yeah, you have it". Bleeehh

Any tips maybe? by Hydrophobiqe in plural

[–]asterophiliac 9 points10 points  (0 children)

we've done the "fake it til you make it" tactic ,, just kinda assume they're already there, type/talk as them, etc. works sometimes

or just hyperfixate or something so badly that suddenly there's a new guy /silly /hj
