could i request a text emote that says (without the quotation marks) “Sorry, I’m crazy”, either in your usual color scheme and/or in royal blue and yellow? it’s a reference to a video, and my friends and i sometimes use when we’re being Brainweird about something lol

I feel weird using parts language. I feel weird calling myself parts of one person. I know it’s technically the truth. It’s just, *wrong* feeling, and makes me dissociate more then helping. I have DID. I feel like I should be fine with these terms.

You don’t have to be okay with the terms, or use them!! If it’s actively making your dissociation worsen, then it’s not helping you to think of yourself in parts terms.

We saw ourselves using people-based language for a long time. It was helpful in certain ways for us! While we found parts language to help us more, there are many, many DID systems who prefer people-based language as well.

The only thing that absolutely must be acknowledged is that you share a body with your parts/alters/headmates, or whatever term you prefer; you have to acknowledge the bodily experience of having One Body. That’s where system accountability and recovery all start.

Good luck anon!

Not gonna dive into syscourse past this, but with the arguments going on on whether or not a singular headmate should use the word "nonverbal" I feel like 99% of it is just people wanting to use a word they feel like will get people to take them seriously.

And that's entirely fair. I understand wanting to use language that portrays the seriousness of the lived experiences of each headmate.

One of the issues is using those tags to talk about those experiences online while existing in a body where most headmates are Not Nonverbal.

Nonverbal folks are already disproportionately ignored and denied space even in disabled spaces. They are infantilized and silenced consistently. They need a word and, in turn, a Space online that is their own.

If your system has the capability to speak with only one or a few members who can not you can use:

  • Quiet Alter
  • Silent Alter
  • Semi-speaking (if those alters front frequently/if this applies)
  • Or just say they can't talk

Nonverbal people (people who are always nonverbal) deserve a space where they can share their experiences and connect with others who share those same (or a similar) experiences.

Especially considering they are denied space in wider disability spaces and are frequently homebound/do not have an irl community to turn to. They need SOMEWHERE, and they have somewhere. Somewhere plural folks who are Not Nonverbal system-wide should respect the boundaries of.

(I use the terms alter, headmate, and system, but this applies to all plurals and those can be substituted for the terms that fit best)
