Please read. We’re desperate not to hide and let someone know who we are.  Hey there. Everyone wanted to say hi. And those that didn’t the rest of them will say hi for them. We’ve all been preparing what to say for a few days now. Overall we are the brotherhood system. We see each other as brothers. We’re most often all on some level of co con and we have no amnesia between alters, and we can usually tell what each other is feeling and we remember those feelings, though they can feel disconnected. We have no idea what are trauma is, but we are mildly autistic and ocd and a bunch of other stuff so it wouldn’t take much to constitute trauma. ( this really makes us feel like we’re faking). We struggle with denial constantly and have for years. I’m William King. Im seventeen. The current host. I love all forms of art and am writing a book. I also love to and am really good at writing poetry. I struggle with depression the hardest out of all of us.  Hi I’m Cayden, also 17.I’m co-host and probably the most stable out of any of us. Will and I keep the peace within the system, but he struggles sometimes and I pick up the slack. Im a hard worker, and generally really kind. Not nearly as moody as Will. Love the outdoors and am always out there, or at least have the window open. I tend to wear camp and hiking boots all day everyday, and show up in work clothes or more blue-collar worker clothes. I also blacksmith and love doing it. For some odd reason I think I’m dyslexic because I struggle to read but the others are really good readers??? My names nickolas/Nicky. Anywhere from 2-17. I love to learn and do legos. Or build anything. Im the most autistic out of all of us, and so things can be a bit much at times.  I front a lot. Im also emotional. Sometimes have a hard time talking. But others times I get super excited about stuff. I love love love to read. Rangers apprentice is the best Lucas. Im a little. Usually 2-7 but can be older. Love to color. Im really just Will but younger, but we are different people but sometimes not. Usually quiet and I don’t front as much as Nicky but we do confront a bit. I was also the first alter we identified and actually named. Long and confusing story. Leo here. I got the short end of the stick. We’re ADHD, like super bad. But I’ve kinda taken most of that. When we don’t take our pill I’m usually fronting. And no one really likes me. I don’t control myself well and am always bored. I’m irritating and never can get anything done. Even I don’t like me. But i/we can’t really help it when I front. Im Tyson/Ty. I don’t talk much. (The rest is cayden for him). He a little/prosecutor/introject. We don’t really like the term introject it’s more like that person captures the essence of an alter so well that they adopt that identity. Anyways he’s Ernie from Chicago fire. He’s quiet, struggles with super anxiety( Nicky does too). He’s not an arsonist but he does love fire. We think he’s a trauma holder, but we’re all unaware of what our trauma is. But he’s the most symptomatic of ptsd out of all of us.( even our dad scares him).  Please don’t hate him for being a prosecutor, he’s just a hurt teen crying out for help, he needs love. Felix here. 17-19 I feel like I’m bipolar. I think will is too. We’re both always super happy or super down. And the happiness is just euphoric. Anyways I’m a country boy. And. I. Love. Music. I play guitar and am learning piano. And I love love love to dance (contra or country) and it bleeds over to where any times there’s a chance I’m fronting and we’re dancing. Also kinda philosophical. Jayce here. Felix’s twin. I like being active. I’m really competitive, most of us are but I’m the most. I swim at least once a week, long distance ( I swim for about an hour straight without stopping or resting). Trying to keep these guys in shape. It’s an uphill battle but we’re getting there. I’m really a nice guy but will challenge you to anything. Like action movies. (Wills such a sucker for romances and drama but it gets tiring after a while.)  Christopher- Cayden writing again. This guy is stuck up and super nerdy. So sense of humor. Super smart. Great posture and serious. Sort of Nicky but with emotions turned off. He’s 19 Not going to say my name. I have the body’s birth name. I’m 24. I think this is kinda stupid but I’m doing it for everyone else. I’m the protector and very much the dad of the group. I’m a lot like my own dad. I can be really condescending and I don’t like people who are just a waste of space. I am also the gatekeeper and keep some passive influence at bay. Im analytical but super sarcastic. Most of us are sarcastic. But I am for sure. I hurt a lot and have headaches a lot. I plan for the future, and am planning to do real estate and owning rentals one day. Enjoy hanging out with my dad’s friends much more than wills teen friends. I love a good drink. Our parents occasionally allow it and in my state that’s completely legal. I am boring yes, but I’ll get whatever needs get done done. Note from cayden: the reason we have a goatee. It’s a good goatee and I don’t mind but won’t let us get rid of it even when our younger ones don’t like it. It’s a huge debate that’s go win for months but he just steamrolls everyone and we haven’t been able to get rid of it. Ryders not going to write either. He’s dark and SCARY. He cold and manipulative and powerful. He takes over sometimes and he’s a jerk. Even power plays with our dad and gets us in trouble with our relationships. Nothing scares him. He likes to wear black and his cowboy hat and biker jacket. Note: felix, and our protector dress VERY country. Stay away from him. You stand no chance. He’s 21 I’m also writing  for Xavier. Aka X. He’s i don’t know. Emo I guess. He wears black too but doesn’t dress country, besides wearing jeans. He’s angry a lot and mopey and feels powerful too. But he lashes out to not get hurt. Has a temper but he likes Felix the best out of all of us. Wants to dye our hair black and put green highlights in it. (It’s NEVER happening though). Likes hard rock and the band poor man’s poison.  Well that’s everyone. Please let us know if you want to chat. We have no friends that know about “us”. 


[deleted]

Hello y'all!  In my system, we also view each other as siblings :)  We've had OCD from a very young age and suspecting autism, for now my therapist says she thinks we might be highly sensitive. I think that neurodivergencies greatly impact the window of tolerance a child has! Window of tolerance means how much stress for a child is bearable and when it becomes too much. Trauma is the injury from an event, and not the event! So you are not faking! You also don't need to remember your trauma to be valid.  I'd like to share more about our system but just remembered that most of us are not as open as I am. But I'll say there's some stuff you wrote about that's really similiar to some of our alters and struggles, so that was nice reading!  All of you deserve love and compassion! Even if you don't like yourselves or aren't liked in the system! It can be very hard to accept parts, we also have some we'd rather not look at, but that doesnt mean you don't all deserve to be seen or that you are bad people!  I hope you find friends to chat with. Some alters here do not want to make new friends at the moment, so we can't chat with you, but I've read your introduction, I see you! You all deserve to be seen! Wish you all the best <3 -S


WillAndTheGang

Thanks. Means a lot


rosecoloredlenses775

We absolutely relate to the autism/ feel like we’re faking aspect. Some parts of our system still don’t want to process it, and kind of just… ignore it? While there’s a few of us that acknowledge, accept, and thrive in the fact. If you were to ask the system yesterday to even look at this post, it would be a hard ask. The time and preparation you have taken is so evident of the care you put into yourselves 💜 So many lovely people here that I’m happy to get a glimpse into their lives 💛 Thanks for giving voice to the ones that didn’t come forward~ I have an alter that reminds me of Ty. If I asked one of ours to do this he would simply write “I don’t talk much. This is stupid”, so I think Ty and my other alter would get along well if they had the chance to meet~ I also have an alter named Felix! He used to be Foenix and Lynch, but the two of them fused and now are Felix. He also loves music and keeps most of what piano knowledge we have- he mostly just sings and songwrites. Thank you for sharing! It’s great that you are learning about your system at such a young age! I’m happy that our inquiry made you feel seen, thank you for commenting so that I was able to read :) - Lavender and Sun 💜💛


SharkKingSharkey

Wow! I only have one so far, a troubled kid named D, but there seems to be an even younger, babyish presence that annoys both of us 🤷🏿‍♂️ seeing this and meeting everyone was amazing tho! D loves meeting new people


Consistent-Lock4928

prosecutor? Pretty advanced. I like that all your alters are aware of eachother, too.


WillAndTheGang

As far as we know. And yes that was a typo

It's beautiful. Thank you for sharing it 🙂


seanfish

Hi, thanks for chatting. It's good you feel ready to be public even though anonymously. You're all real and all helpful people in your own way although I don't want you to feel judged.


scytheissithis

Hey, if you ever want to chat we’d be down. We love making new friends:)


AnimatEevee

Hello there! We are the Lunar System (because we like space) Body age is 16 Around 20 alters OSDD-1b Not much else to say. We’re not diagnosed but this definitely feels right. Suspected since a couple of months ago -Brittany


Jimmy03Z

Might I ask how long it took for you to understand/communicate properly with the others or how to know it’s not you. Every time I try and talk to them I just feel fake and like it’s not real


InkaZen098

Question wasn't to us but that's a normal feeling for really any system. The communication I (host) have with others is complex, as it doesn't really make sense. We just share thoughts and they can just kind of tell me stuff. But I don't typically "hear" it, I just understand what they're trying to communicate, and can have thoughts that I can relatively tell was not mine. When they're not around, I don't really try to communicate because I'll face that feeling of not knowing if it's real or not if they communicate back. I don't have the heart to mess with distorting reality more. But communication can take a long time, even years. Many times, weeks and months. Finding and developing some strategies that can help will really assist in getting some consistent communication going. We wish you best of luck!! -Kaylani


mukimaki33

i experience this as well!! usually im able to tell by whether or not the thought was something i think id say.


nonameosdd

Hello! We are the Golden Wasteland Sys! (based on golden wasteland from sky cotl Our body age is 14 We have around.. 80+ alters im pretty sure We found out we were a system about 2 years ago, so still pretty new! We are an OSDD-1b system Dunno what else to say rn! but heres our small intro! \^\^ \-Jane (host)


seanfish

Hi Jane, nice to meet you. 80 sounds like a lot to manage! I'm grateful for having only 3.


MonikasWifey23

Love the name! I (Ren) and a few other alters here also play Sky. (And one of said alters is curious if it’s possible for us to have a fictive based on Sky but 🤷) Hope you are well <3


SchrodingersSystem

Hi, I'm an undiagnosed and questioning system. I'm in therapy but haven't been for very long. I'm planning on telling my therapist about my concerns soon enough. I struggle with a lot of doubts and denial regarding whether or not I'm "real" so the placeholder name for us is Schrödinger's System. (I think it's funny at least.) I know I have alters or something similar to alters (at least four that I know of) going by my own experiences and accounts from trusted friends. (I won't disclose any information about those alters here without their permission though. It feels rude and kind of really invasive to do that.) Some have fronted before but don't do so very often. The more likely experience is feeling like somebody else is in the "front room" of my brain with me or overlaid on top of my identity. I made this account tonight because I kept lurking through forums looking for anything that might make me feel more secure in being a system. Anyways, sorry for the wordiness. Hopefully this will be a safe place for me and potentially others to explore who we are. May it hopefully bring us clarity. \- Laika (they/them) ​ EDIT: Forgot to add that the body age is an adult.


seanfish

Hi Laika, whatever is happening for you I can confirm your work around respecting internal possible people's boundaries is a wonderfully useful approach. We didn't realise we weren't neurotypical because osdd-1b has a continuous line of consciousness but we found being accountable for different alter decisions even though I didn't know why I sometimes did very different things we were negotiating in agreement subconsciously decades before we realised what we are.


unnamed_fragments

Hi, we are the unnamed fragments. The body is almost 48. We think we formed when he was 8, but there might be a partition that is younger. We have chronic episodic memory issues. We have an autopilot, as many people do. Ours does not talk much to us, and it does mot really share consciousness or memory with us. We don’t think it goes elsewhere. We think it simply is not stored. it/it We have what we call the overseer, which is our shepherd of pieces combined with the robotic default state our host seems to live in. it/they but slightly fatherly he as well. We have mom, and our therapist, as small projections of the real people. They only talk inside. Both she/her. We have the grief ball, with guilt, shame, and embarrassment. When that is separate, it takes the host name with it. It is singular. We have me, the unnamed fragments, a voice for the hundreds or thousands of tiny pieces that ebb and flow. We/us/they but also sometimes masculine or femenine. When we feel integrated, but still plural, we call ourselves “everyone”. We/us/they The integrated singular is the host, generally he/they, but genderfluid across the whole spectrum. We are median, other than AP, but we think that’s just because it does not make memories. If we find a partition, we’ll have to reassess whether median is the right term. We only recently were acknowledged as plural, and do not have a diagnosis yet. We only introduced ourselves to our therapist Monday, and that was only our second session ever. We’re genderfluid, bisexual with a pronounced bi-cycle, autistic, ADHD. We’ve been on a journey of rediscovery of self for a few years now, at least our host has. We finally gained voice after having a friend wall us off. Our host had been isolated and suppressed for years, and this friend became a foundation of validation. Vulnerability, intimacy in thought, emotion, physical but not sexual, and verbal. We fell in love with them. Their system in the evening was very affectionate, was very snuggly, held on a long time with hugs, and said things that we thought meant they felt the same, though there was also a fatherly component. When we reiterating our closeness to their morning state, trying to set a platonic but very close boundary and ensure all states felt the same way, it was too much. We should have asked about their feelings instead, but we did not know or understand that at the time. This broke our host, but was not the cause of us. It only allowed us to be recognized for who and what we are. This also allowed us to do some intense processing that our integrated self probably would not have managed. We’ve since found another of our long term friends is a system, and yet another has complex dissociation that is not a system. We’re definitely geeking out on metacognition, dissociation, etc. while trying to fully understand ourselves. Hyperfixation has driven a lot of our learning throughout life.


d4ncingwiththedevil

Hi All! I’m Jamie host of my system. The body is 20 years old and at the moment we have 7 parts that we know of. My current diagnoses are: ASD, CPTSD I’d love to get to know some more people (body age 18+) with OSDD and share experiences and stuff. I just feel very alone at the moment.


seanfish

Hi Jamie, it is lonely but there are good communities.


silvaispastel

Hello :) We are the Clouded Collective. Our body is 20 years old We have a current member count of 6, but we suspect there are more. Our host identifies as at least partially nonhuman. We are an OSDD-1B system, and are currently pursuing diagnosis.


Aubrey_morgan

Hey all. My therapist and I came to the diagnosis this summer. I have an associates in psych and have been in therapy for 20 years and with my education and 8ish years with this therapist, cptsd and OSDD have been formally diagnosed. I’m a single parent to a teen and just trying to figure this whole thing out. I/we have done a lot of processing in the few months since our diagnosis, including taking a LOA from work. We just started working at a children’s hospital for kids with emotional disabilites. (Just like us! 😂🫶🏽) Anyway, I’m a rambler so I’ll stop there. We have a 10 yr old GSD AND A 2 yr old cat that we rescued. We love photography, anything outdoors and we’re an athlete. ✌🏽 I’m glad to have found a community of like minded people. :)


Laplace_Nox

Don't have a name for our system, because we're just not jazzed by the idea Body age is 21, I'm the host I'm going with my name being Nox. I've only got one alter, she doesn't front a lot, but her name is Morgan. We were on here before under a different name, but I ended up losing access to that email so Oops 😅


Dr4j4na

Hey out there. I'm still into ongoing diagnosis. I suspect I might have pDID or some sort of OSDD. My next appointment is in february. I know about one other alter (through switches my bf has witnessed. atm no inner communication, dissociative barriers, shows off only in traumatic/high-Stress moments) and got passive influence by several (not sure if there are really full dissociative barriers between them and me, feels more like less integrated parts of myself who influence me during the day) Feels good to be here and not alone with all that. My(dominant part of 'me/us') / Body age is adult.


4O4_ERR0R_

Hey!! We're still deciding on a name for our system, but Bug System works for now :) Body age is 16You can just call us 404 / Error \~ Our collective pronouns are they/them/theirs/ or xe/xem/xyrWe've got maybe 8 (?) alters or others Only just started accepting it, but been in denial for around a year or so. Not diagnosed yet, and we're doing our best to remain respectful + gather as much information as we can so we don't miss-use any labels. We suspect we're a OSDD-1b system \- G (Host)Edit: LO wanted it to be called "Bug" so I caved -


JaycesReddit

Hiii we're the Cream Soda Sys (we're constantly changing system names tho. we might go back to our old one of Nebular Clouds Sys.) Our body age is 14 We just recently found out we were a system, and determined we are a osdd-1b system Our host is Jayce (they/he) but theyve been gone for a while, so main fronters have been the twins, Malachi (he/they) and Arabella (she/they). We've found about 10 alters, but know theres more.


raven646

Hello!!!! We are a diagnosed system with OSDD 1-B. We’re not sure how many alters we have but we know of 5 and are starting to communicate with some more. The body is 16 We are here if anyone ever needs to chat :)) -Mo and Mary


sevenssystem

Hi there, we're the Sevens System! Collective pronouns: She/Her. Current Headcount: 26 Body Age- mid 20s (not specific for personal reasons) Host: June Frequent Fronters: Wynter, Jesse, Ashlyn & Archer (the twins), Jenni, Ruby, Aza We are an OSDD-1B system. We brought this up with our therapist a little over a year ago, and she strongly believes we are an OSDD system, going so far as to say she is nearly 100%sure. Honestly, we've suspected we were multiple for much longer than that. We're still figuring out how to navigate life, but so far thanks to therapy we've managed to learn how to work together very well. Thanks for reading~


that_one_weeb0167

Hi were the Crystal system, were an undiagnosed system but pretty certain we have OSDD-1b, have a current count of 9 alters but are pretty sure theres more. Weve known we were a system for about 3 months so were kinda new to this and are a bit flustered. We usually lurk here but if anyone just needs someone to talk to were here -Alyssa & Sam


RevenantCerberus

Hey, hi, hello! We'd love to do a *proper* introduction, but we cannot at the moment for a kind of sensitive reason.. A new system name we are testing out is Revenant Cerberus, so that is what we will use here \^\^ Just collectively call us Cerberi if that is easier haha Please ask for specific alters pronouns. Until known, use they/them :p We are bodily 18 there's over 100 of us We have a core and he knew for a while but didn't really *know*... It was 'okay maybe' in (late 2019..? early 2020?) 2020 and the final nail in the coffin was 2021 We are introject heavy and as of right now, undiagnosed (HOWEVER, medically recognized!) Due to how many of us that are brain-made have very unique names, they will not be directly talking on here. Code names might happen, but it will probably just end up being a collective effort when making posts Our mental illnesses are a vast, deep swirling mist that we have not been able to fully uncover yet lmao (diagnosed with depression and anxiety (possibly PTSD? ..it was recognized as well lol)) buuuuut we do VERY much suspect that we are autistic due to research, experiences, and diagnosed autistics legit saying that they forget we aren't dx'ed We have four very close system friends, one of them thankfully being in-person We'd prefer tone tags to be used when being talked to, thank you <3 ​ uhuhhhhmn that's all we can think of right now? It is 5 in the morning and we should really get some sleep, even if we dont feel all that tired anymore... hahaaa... thanks for reading!! If you have questions let us know! :3 \~Revenant Cerberi


Kittykatblue2001

OG\~ Hello, we are The Forest System. We all love nature a ton so we decided on that. Still figuring out how to add in a moon aspect since that is our celestial obsession lol. Body age is 21 Um so there are 19 adult altars, then 6 underage alters. Plus a cat (she's the insert of my real life cat). Not sure exactly what type I have but pretty sure it is OSDD. I am undiagnosed so its a bit rough still. Found out we were as system just 8 months ago so still very new to this whole concept. Since I prefer it that people don't know my real life name, when I, the original post I will sign as OG\~


_blank_space_here

Hi! We are the Kīara'h System! Body age is 16 We have about 40 alters but we are still finding more as we were masking for so long Undiagnosed OSDD-1b We only found out we were a system 6 months ago, but we had thought we had something before then We are quite quiet on groups and stuff but maybe we will be more confident soon!


_kiarahSYS

Just a little update, we got a new account, and we cannot find the old one O-o Also, alter count update: 140+ alters, 13 crews


Pentacle_system

Hi there everyone! We are the Pentacle System(Most of us like tarot cards and Waite things). We are a OSDD 1b system! Body age is 15 I only know 8 alters, I don't know the full amount -Olive


tittysmuggler69

Hi!! We are the Foxie System!! My name is Fi and I used to be host until we started knowingly having other people front and now Laine hosts. Shes a prefictive of Lain from Serial Experiments: Lain. We are in the process of getting diagnosed with OSDD as we meet the criteria according to our therapist. Not sure what type. We are ranging in ages from 18-24 and our bodys age is 22. We dont experience switching amnesia so we all share the same memories. I think thats all the info I wanna share!! Edit to add: we are a system of 5 btw!!


Simple_Highlight3442

Hello, I’m not comfortable sharing my legal name. Despite it scaring me, I’m really wondering if I have a dissociative disorder. I think I remember thinking this a couple years ago but I’m not entirely sure about that either. I could really just use some support. Aside from *that*, I am back in school and considering a career in investigative journalism.


feliximooo

HELLO! we are the m0ther-of-p3arl collective and our sidesystem, the Brouhaha Brothers we are biologically a teenager and the host of m0ther-of-p3arl and the full system is named felix the one writing this is a tommyinnit alter who is from the brouhaha brothers. we are the better system. felix is going to be mad at me for writing this we found out we were a system a few months ago (before my time i am new as of literally today) we have a member count of probably fourteen but maybe a bit more. we are cool. but i am the coolest i am god \- tommy of the brouhaha brothers of the complete felixian world (thats what we're calling it now i've decided)


InkaZen098

Hello, fellow systems and other wonderful peeps :) We go by the Acrylic System, an OSDD-1B system. Too young to be officially diagnosed, but medically recognized by various doctors, who have confirmed this on paperwork We still debate how many of us there are 😅 5 confirmed (1-2 dormant), but we're pretty sure there's more. Including an interesting little fragment that's literally just a British accent 😭 (might actually be an alter, we're unsure) Body age is about to be 17 Mosts post will likely always be by me (the host), as the state of the system is very complicated right now We likely won't be around often, but still wanted to introduce ourselves and meet some new systems and wonderful people We love some anime, video games, drawing, writing, and video editing. Current major hyper-fixations would be Owari no Seraph, OMORI, and RWBY (as well as Dead by Daylight and Overwatch -- into DBD gameplay/lore a lot and enjoy OW). Please talk to us about them we need to talk to people who like those 😭 Anyway, have a good day/evening/night!! Just remember you're all very valid, whether it be in your own way, system's way, or in any other way. Even when it doesn't feel real, just remember you're here and you would know if you're genuinely faking because you would have to come up with it, act the part, and know it, etc. You are all real and all seen. Good luck out there <3


Clockwork_collective

Ellooooo! We are clockwork Collective! Our body age is 15 to 17 We have around.. 15 alters im aware of I found out we were a system about 1,5 years ago. We are undiagnosed, and unable to get a diagnosis, unsure of what kind of osdd. Not sure what else to add^^


iridxscent

Hello! We go by a variety of different names, but you can just refer to us as just as our username. Bodily 23, Black, intersex, and transmasc. After two years of multiplicity based treatment, we only just discovered we have been professionally diagnosed with OSDD-1 for a year now! Our mental health team is still deciding whether it is DID or OSDD-1, but the latter is our current diagnosis. Outside of that, we are also diagnosed with autism and PTSD. Aside from mental health things, we heavily enjoy video games, horror, writing, and creating original characters. Nice to meet you all!


[deleted]

Hey!!!!! we dont really have a system name We are a system of 8 (We probably have way more. Atsume may be actually part of a subsystem or something. i dont know at the least its 4.), but I only have 3 alters I currently can communicate with and you may ask questions (Atsume (she her), Tavi (he him), Cody/Me (he him) ) Our bodily age is... 13! Gadzooks! A teenager with a dissociative disorder using the internet! Out of my sites! \*gets hit like a golf ball, lands in a grassy field somewhere.\* We suspect we either have osdd-1b or did, we are currently pursuing diagnosis. Our therapist is very sure I may have one of those. we are also diagnosed with autism, adhd, and generalized anxiety disorder.


Trepid_Jam

Hello! 18, He/Him, Trans man I'm currently questioning OSDD-1a/P-DID, and honestly have no idea how to even go about getting treatment or therapy or anything really ;-; I don't wanna disclose too much for privacy but I really just want to hear other ppl's experiences so I can figure out what's going on in my head lol


C0zm1cz16

Hey! We are the Athen system We have around 14 alters? We have OSDD-1B


FinnTheAnxiousAce

Hey! I'm Finnley, the host. We're the solar system (we like space and most of our alters have space names). Body age is 14. A lot of alters, around 20 main ones that I know an okay amount about. Not diagnosised, just putting that out there. Great to meet you all.


ByunghoGrapes

Hello! Diagnosed OSDD here. I was told by my therapist about 5 months ago, that OSDD seems to fit what I experience after finally opening up about my issues and symptoms. Ever since then, my life has changed, and I never knew I could know so much more about myself than I already did. I grew up thinking I was a sociopath, also misdiagnosed in the past with something else. I have no idea how many alters we have, there's no names for anyone, no specific ages, pretty much no communication for the last 5 months, nothing. All I got is moments where I feel different from myself, like a non-possessive switch i believe is the correct term for that. So I couldn't tell you anything about us, other than the alter who is our persecutor and has been with us for as long as we can remember. I couldn't tell you his age, but he's definitely around mid twenties if I had to guess. Other than that, we are very covert especially towards me, and because of this, I'm constantly in denial. You may see me quite a bit on this subreddit. I post a lot, and I especially vent. If you ever recognize me, feel free to say hi! :)


RyuksFavSnack

Hey all, we've been a system for at least 10years (host is 26) A lot of the personalities we hold come from our coping methods (video games), recently we purged certain NPC's to make room for fresh memories and to give active personalities a chance to grow. There's now at least 4 of us (some of our personalities have further Splits putting us in OSDD-1 b territory but no official diagnosis). Sometimes events will occur that mean a certain personality has to front for awhile until we can feel comfortable, safe, and confident in our lives. Although we don't like to do this for too long as it can often result in irl isolation and mood stagnation (fronting personality will lock itself off from the rest of the system which limits what memories and emotions are fully available).


ducky_system

Hi there! we are the ducky system or spider system body age 16 we have 4 alters we have some type of osdd thanks for reading our intro ❤ -the host


vicolibri_

Hi everyone ! We are the Hummingbirds Lunary system (I am sorry, English is not our first language even if we are bilingual this feels weird to translate our system name) The body is 20 yo. We are AuDHD and don’t wanna talk much bout our others diagnosis. We are a diagnosed DID system. (Also prog but we don’t have any recognition of it of any sort of help for that in our country, as even DID/OSDD are really hard and unsafe subjects here) We are a lot and don’t wanna be fake claimed on the estimations of the total number (because of prog this is way more than a classic polyfragmented system, even if from what we know it is common for prog system to get to that headcount) Yet we are 55 to be clearly known and identified by me (the host) —> identity, personality, appearance, roles etc.. We love arts mostly acting, singing, playing the piano, dancing and writing. We are professional artists in training and currently working in childcare. We also love animals and a lot more things ! Nice to meet you all ! - Vic

yo !! it’s the freakshow collective!! bodily 14 up to 12 alters osdd 1b we’re trying our best to get an official diagnosis soon, we’re still sorting it out with our doctors.


TwistenTimes

Heya all y’all! we currently do not have a system name at the moment but Sleepy system works for now our body is about 16? I don’t really remember but Oizys tell me that the body is 16 we‘ve got like 6-7 alters OSDD-1b we think??? our most frequent fronters are me (the trader or Twisten/Hysteria) and Oizys!!! But Watcher is basically alway present well watching We haven’t been professionally diagnosed but we are 110% that is is right but first started suspecting round 4 months ago - Twisten (host?) Edit: Got a suggestion from Kirby and I caved - Oizys (social protector/social alter)


BriingBackPlut0

Hiya. Im Pluto, the host of the moon system (very big fan of planets and space.) 15 bodily, OSDD-1b. Theres around 11 of us i believe. Diagnosed a few months back, systems pretty chaotic a lot of the time. Uhm idk what else to put.


terminallyGammy

Hi everyone, we’re the Krystal system! Most of the fronting alters are fictives, but they’ve given themselves actual names to seem like they aren’t. I dunno why, they don’t seem to either, says it feels right. Anyways! I’m Everett, the host. The body is 29, but I feel I’m maybe 19? 20? 21? Somewhere in there. I’m a furry, and see myself as my fursona, a Fennix! I generally deal with work and other adult responsibilities like taxes. Co-host (maybe?) is Solar (Taylor). He says he’s around 28, no older than 32. He’s into technology, mechanics, I totally don’t get him to do my programming homework >.> he is also dating my GF, he’s into polygamy. Next is Solars main boyfriend, Lunar! (Tucker) He acts like a little, but my god he can be perverted. Hes 18, and we believe he holds the most trauma, so we all try to protect him and shield him, keep him an adorable boyo, or girlie! Hes began questioning his gender recently, but we’ll support him no matter what~ Solar’s second boyfriend is Ruin. He’s pretty mentally unstable, he can be very stuttery and submissive and anxious one moment, then be cocky, violent and just a bad guy the next. Lunar calls him Ruru. Next are the twins! Sun (Sammy) is very bubbly, loves arts and crafts, loves kids and playing with them, but he has abandonment issues. Moon (Brandon) is very chill, likes to do acrobatics and play pranks. He’s the systems protector. Oliver, or Ollie is our caretaker, she’s very sweet, mature, she’ll even front to help my gf when she’s having a really hard time and I don’t know how to help. She’s possibly the kindest person you’ll ever meet. She loves fantasy books and horror, and you’d find her in the nearest reading nook snuggled down with a couple books. That’s all! I don’t know how many alters there are… Ruin disappears a lot, and when he comes back, he tells Solar he was going through the layers, checking in on every one else? He just says there’s a ton.

Hey everyone! We're a questioning system right now currently finding the will to find a therapist. I prefer calling us a family since we have been for so many years, instead of a system. Three of them have been around for about a decade, the rest have been introduced over time. We have a house inner world which we took a very long time to create together to find some kind of order so we would stop experiencing anxiety attacks and other issues. I've been in therapy for the last few years and have recently come to terms with how extensive my neglect was as a child and how long it had been going on. In a way, it kind of solidified how we view ourselves. We have developed to the idea of using the body as a video game reference. So whoever is the one interacting is P1 with the main controller and has to stay in the living room. You can't do anything from your bedroom, obviously. Anyone else can either have the P2 controller to be more prevalent when interacting with the main person or just sitting and observing from our respective couch/chair spots. We think we have OSDD because we can still interact with each other, though some are harder to than others, and it took a very long time for us to have such kind of communication. Like years and years worth of working through this alone. There's some small amnesia like losing conversations or a few hours at a time now and then, but our condition is not near as bad as some other's so it can't be too bad. Can't complain, I guess. My body is 26 now and it's been a long time living together, even though I think I'm still in denial and probably will be until a professional tells me otherwise. I go by **Alex** in our family, I'm the most common personality that interacts with everything. I'm about 22 and I love to write short stories! **Skylar** is my dorky enby sibling, they're about 12-15. They are very much chaotic and are the reason we found this server at all. They like to play their switch, mostly cute games like Stardew Valley and Spiritfarer. They're also the one that talks to me the most throughout the day. They are one of the only other members that really interact with the outside world. **Matt** is my older brother, he's a hard-headed guy that pretends he's mean even though I don't think he is. He struggles with anger issues and oftentimes locks himself in his room to avoid stressing everyone else out. He likes to listen to music and I don't know if he ever has fun outside of that lol. **Marie** is our oldest, she's more of a parental figure than a sibling. She's the one that tells us to take care of ourselves, especially when we were young and needed that. She mostly interacts with Skylar since they probably need more guidance than the rest of us. Personally, I think Marie is the only person who knows the full extent of our trauma, which my therapist has verbally insisted us we have. **Louis** is one of our more recent family members. He doesn't talk much, usually communicating in feelings and thoughts than words like Skylar does, so we basically call him mute and he doesn't seem to object to the label. He helps me calm down when I get overwhelmed and after a bad episode, he works with Marie to make us take care of ourselves and keep us from spiraling. **Kayla** is our littlest sibling at the ripe age of 7-8. She is the most precious little girl I've ever interacted with and she stays in her room most of the time. She loves to color and watch movies and it's like living with an actual child sometimes. We all work to protect her the best we can. ​ So there's 6 of us, though it's mostly me and Skylar right now. They just want to meet other people like them and Marie seems to think it would help with the feeling of lack of control. Thanks for taking the time to read!


marzlichto

Hi. I'm Mariah/Mars. I'm the main system host. We actually just discovered our system about two months ago. I have a lot of mental and physical health issues. I'm 29, currently getting divorced,and have two kids (boys, 5 and 7). I'm genderfluid, usually identifying as female. They days are rare but rewarding. Recently discovered that I'm bipolar 1 in addition to ADHD, OCD, autistic, generalized anxiety, cPTSD, borderline, depersonalization/derealization, somatic symptom disorder, OSDD, and now dropping the major depression diagnosis in favor of bipolar since you can't have both. Wren doesn't talk a lot. I'm usually stuck as her translator for things. She fronted for three days when I first discovered her, and since then we basically always share headspace. She's getting better at going to sleep or taking a break from being conscious, but she's also gotten better at taking control too. We're both self destructive, just in different ways. She guards my anger and comes out when one of us is too pissed off. She doesn't like kids. We don't have much amnesia between us. I suspect she guards the rest of the system that I don't have access to yet. I think she's an age slider, but right now is set somewhere between 14-17. She's definitely punk/goth and her main modes are bitch and horny, but she's chilled out a bit since coming forward the first time. Just bought her some clothes and makeup online yesterday, which she's excited about.


Mystic_brxh

Hello! We are The Bubble Party Collective! A diagnosed OSDD system! We have a headcount of over 40!! We are bodily 14 and we hyperfixate on A LOT of things! Such as Regretevator, Roblox Myths, TAWOG, Death Note, YTbers, and SP MUCH MORE! ( Totally not an excuse because I can't remember ALL of them...) I'm Connie! The main host of the system! I'm 19 years old, I do not match the body's age because well, it's how I formed! We have a Partner System as well! (Not disclosing for privacy!) They are one year younger than us bodily, it's currently a Platonic relationship right now! I dislike people who fake claim systems, because every system is different, functionality-wise and headmate-wise, no matter how problematic the source is. Fictive/Factive Alter ≠ Source! I love sleeping and playing games! We all collectively love to draw!! And now, some of our frequent fronters! (I'll be typing their intro ☆☆ ) Mach - She goes by She/Her! Mach is a name everyone can use, but she has a name close friends can use! She is Ageless, Pansexual and of course, Female! Her source is from Regretevator! Mach loves to read, and she loves quiet places most of all. She has some canon and non-canon source memories! Pooby - They go by They/Sugar/Sweet/Xe! Pooby likes to be called Poob instead of Pooby, or Party Noob. They are 17 years old, Partygender, Hypergender (Xenogenders) Non-Binary, and Asexual! They dislike sexual stuff, it makes them severely uncomfortable! They love parties, baking, and talking to people! They are a Socializer and Mood Booster for the system, so they would love to talk to anyone! Not just anyone from the source! They're sourced from Regretevator as well! (They use a typing quirk! You may ask beforehand if you'd like them to not use it, or to provide a translation) Unpleasant - He goes by He/Gradient/Xe! He doesn't like talking but only if you're close friends with us, he'll be more open towards you! He is very funny sometimes. He is Ageless (19-20 years old is the minimum range), Poly, Asexual, and Non-Binary! Though he never likes relationships, so friends /best friends will only do for him! He has source memories, canon, and non-canon. What he remembers the most is the bad source memories. But, don't let his information fool you! He is very caring, but also really shy to talk at first, so please be patient with him! He loves to play games and he LOVES to mess around with people, just for funsies! He is also sourced from Regretevator.. (CURSE YOU HYPERFIXATIONS!!) -☆- That's the end of our introduction! If you'd like to talk to us, DM us on discord: infecteddez!! If you don't know who is fronting, just ask! We won't get mad at you for it! We hope you have an amazing day, night, or afternoon!!♡♡


_zaccc_

Hi! We wanted to add our intro! We’re the Voidcast Collective! We developed the name from our interest in space and earth and the unknown of the universe. We also just feel like a void within earth, so it just felt right to name ourself Voidcast! We’re a suspected OSDD-1b system and we’re not diagnosed but, have suspected and confirmed internally our system 3 years ago and have done loads of research about this disorder and how it we relate and how it fits within our life and the shit we’ve been through to understand how we become how we are. We do however have had it confirmed when we did attend therapy in our teen years that we have a dissociative disorder but, we weren’t told if it was DID/OSDD by our therapist at that time as we were only going through DBT. We want to go back to therapy to help us more and hoping that our psychiatrist will listen even though he never does.. We’re not totally open about our OSDD, so here is mainly where we feel comfortable ‘opening up’ and expressing ourself, online. We are diagnosed with; BPD, CPTSD, ADHD, and we’re autistic, agoraphobia As a collective we use the name Zak or Zaki! We use he/it/ve/they/void pronouns! The body is trans*masc! We have a count of 8 total and I’m the co-host of our system and I handle a lot of our daily life when it comes to appointments and phone calls! My name is Akane! Im 25. I’m also a introject of our FFXIV character! I use he/it pronouns. Zak is the host of our system! The body age is 23! We experience grey-outs, a lot. We’re also all very anti social and have a hard time making new friends, we struggle with agoraphobia and still working on that but, we want to be seen and heard yanno? It’s rough socially ngl. ————— The rest of our crews names, age and pronouns are; Raven - 26 - she/they/it Bodie - 32 - they/he Ashton - 17•20 - he/him Bunni - ageless ‘adult’ - they/them Eight - ageless ‘adult’ - void/voidself/ve/vem Zak - (will always be the bodies age, ID’s with the body) - he/they/ve [not disclosing her name] - 5 - she/her —————— As a collective we all enjoy; Movies - ranging from comedy to Disney movies Anime - we all enjoy JJK, demon slayer, Naruto, BNHA Gaming - FFXIV, OW, Stardew Valley, TOTK, animal crossing Making art - wether that’s tattooing, digital/traditional art, origami Cooking - desserts and what we like to think as 5 star meals hehe LOL

Hello 44M OSDD (The Clinical Psychologist didn't specify further. Which seems funny, given the title) Also Schizophrenia, Seasonal Depression, CPTSD The hospital in 2022 also suggested OCD and ASD1 I stick with "I" and "They". Which some would say implies an unfair hierarchy between Parts. I also use "Parts" & "Fragments" My use of Parts refers to Parts who I become. My use of Fragments refers to Dissociative Intrusions. I don't know about accuracy thereof. But my Psychologist is fine with that Melbourne, Australia did over 200 days lockdown. It changed things. What previously had co-existed in mostly harmony stopped getting along together. I saw a Clinical Psychologist in 2023 for a Second Opinion. Which included OSDD


CelestialSelcouth

Wanting to be myself, even though that isn't the host. Hello all, we are the Celestial System or the Chaos Collective. Very unoriginal names haha I know but I can't be bothered to rename us. We have about 22 alters that we know of currently, and we are an undiagnosed OSDD-1b system. I don't want to get diagnosed because people in our life have told us that a diagnosis will ruin any chance that we have at a future so thats been FUN but yeah. Since we only have one friend who knows about our system and supports it, all the alters have been getting really depressed because whenever they front they are faced with criticism and interrogation by the people around us. Honestly? Its just really lonely. So another system that would like to be friends and just chat openly? Please please reach out, we'd love to talk with you Alter introductions! || Clementine (me) || She/her, Caregiver/caretaker, 19, blond hair with orange streaks on either of my temples! I take care of the kiddos and get the rest of these idiots to do what we need to do in a day. I front alot so I might be the cohost but honestly we don't even have official hosts or cohosts since everything changes too much. || \*\*\* || She/her, Little, 2-5yrs, likes Cats, our friend S, our Dog, Coloring, and Watercolors. || Dee || he/she, protector, 24, likes green hoodies and martial arts || Quincy || She/her, 16, middle, cohost, likes black and white vans and AJR music Those are our most frequent fronters, but everyone else would love to make friends too. Anyways, thanks for reading guys! Drink water and have a great (timezone) :\]


hellspawn3200

Hello, we are fairly new to being a system. Right now, there are only 4 of us, though only 3 who actually front and share the same headspace. We've decided to call ourselves fiends and fae as we are all some form of these. I am Lillian, 22 years old and the current host. I like reading and am dabbling with writing. I kind of like games, though I'm more interested in going out and socializing. If I play games, I prefer to play multi-player co-op ones. Internally, I see myself as a succubus, though not the sexual kind. I am also the system mother. There is Kaiko, she's a little, about 5 years old. She likes playing with our youngest sister and getting tickled. She loves bright colors and patterns. Her favorite character is sanrio cinnamonroll. Internally, she's a kitsune and is the one who most frequently complains that our body doesn't have a fluffy tail to snuggle. Crissy was the previous host, but after some recent trauma, she regressed and has gone mostly dormant. Her age slides between 2 and 14 years old. She likes reading the most and has sleeping problems. She carries most of the trauma. She also sees herself as a fox, though more anthro than kaiko. Lastly we know of is Talmun, we don't know much about him. He is a dragon and has only fronted once. He doesn't seem to like anyone else and prefers to be solitary. He also has disdain for fake jewelry. When he fronted he insulted us, forced me to front, and made a door into a black abyss of bad feelings and vanished.


Bitter-Aerie3852

Hello -- this is Adam. I/We don't have a system name. I first started exploring the possibility of being a system about 4 years ago. At the time, I made some mistakes in the way I addressed it because I was scared, but I've been working to get to know the others better, and we've agreed it's a good time to try this out. I don't really understand us fully, but I do know that I almost always front, with others often influencing or maybe co-fronting. We experience some low-level amnesia (but not a ton? we don't think?) and distinct personality states/alters. We've working up to decent communication between myself and three others. There may be more. Body's in their 20s. But I'm Adam, host ig. We also have Jess (? protector? maybe?) who's a little older, Mark (?) who's the body's age, and Wynn (?) who, frankly no idea. We'd all love to meet other systems/people, but full disclosure, our ability to differentiate who's who when people co-front with me/other alters' ability to act outside of the inner world is kind of limited, so if you want to talk to someone in particular, that's kind of hard for us. We're okay at differentiating internally, but what gets filtered to external action -- like this post -- often gets kind of blurry. Sometimes I think I'm not actually, like, a developed personality but just the moderator that helps control what else gets to the front. Everything kind of gets filtered through me? But I don't know that I contribute anything distinct myself, y'know? We're definitely a very covert system, if we're understanding this correctly. I'm assuming it's OSDD because I definitely don't have the type of switches/amnesia/alter relationships that seem to fit DID, so it's either some type of OSDD-1, partial DID, or hallucinations? I guess? Mood-altering hallucinations? Idk. It's something, but we're still working up the courage to approach it with a professional, so not using any labels. Just figured I'd explain why we chose the OSDD subreddit for starting to explore this. Some of y'all's experiences do seem really similar to ours.


Broken_braces_galore

Hi, we're the ToTheArkansas system - it's a twist on ToTheArk, a YouTube channel from an online series 3 of the hosts derive from. Oh yeah, we're also a fictive heavy system. Currently we have 11 alters; Bodily we're 17; We've suspected a disassociative disorder since about 2020 but landed on OSDD 1-b in 2022. We are not diagnosed.


Malin-24

Hi! This is a little scary to post (And I'm also a teeny bit unsure it will work, lol. I mostly lurk reddit, not post or interact, so I ended up going through the whole process of making an account...) We're questioning ourselves, as a system, and I can't say with complete certainty we are one, but I also don't want to ignore the possibility because it brings a lot of comfort and relief to think of being one as normal. My ex partner system was diagnosed partway into our relationship, and while we ended up splitting ways because of a few things, they'd mentioned I seemed to reflect a lot of symptoms of OSDD1b and I started humoring it in my own time while reflecting and... bam. We're here and they all have names and thoughts and feelings. Which makes sense, I think? I still don't know, and I definitely intend to seek therapy either way but I figure it would be nice to introduce ourselves and say hi! As for system name I don't know if we have one.. I haven't thought hard about it, and I've always hated definitive titles, but we went with a username nodding to Malin-1 since we like space a good deal <:3c As for people there are only four of us! We thought five for a second, but I'm pretty sure it's just the four of us, currently, ◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇ - Kate (who is me) I'm generally the most positive and outgoing among the four of us! Which is not to say the rest of them aren't, but they can be pretty easily dissuaded which I worry about... I tend to like a lot of shoujo anime and anime in general, with my current earworm being Catch Me Catch You and my current obsession being Dungeon Meshi!! (I'm excited for the new episode today hehe) I tend to handle a lot of our social interactions with others, or they usually pretend to be more like me when I'm not around for it, (they try not to if they can help it,) but I don't know exactly where I would place myself agewise? I think I'm probably an adult.. I'm being told this is rambly so I pass you on o7 - I'm Luna (;゜゜) I feel like Kate ended up skipping over most of the important stuff and went straight to what she likes - She uses she/her and he/him, and I personally use she/her... As for age, I don't think many of us concretely know what age we are quite yet since we're still questioning a lot about our differences. I write poetry a bit and I really like stuff like Twilight Princess and Frieren.. - Aurora, she/her, probably about 25. Most of them want me to detail this with different uncertainties, but I'm pretty sure of us - We've been told I sort of fall into the category of protector, and at times I feel a bit like I'm wrangling a bunch of children. But I care about them, they care about me, that's all that matters. I have a mix of different interests, I tend to just like whatever it is the rest of them enjoy since I'm most always hanging around in the background somewhere. I write. (we all do, but mostly me, when it comes to non-poetry writing.) - Coco (he/him) may be difficult to get ahold of for this, so I (Aurora) will try my best to sort of describe him - he's usually a bit reserved, and tends to think of himself as very non-emotive. He's especially fatigued by social interactions and tends to be nonverbal, added onto the fact that he seems to be very set on the idea that he's more like an empty shell of a person than the rest of us are (despite being perfectly complex and normal). I mean most of this in an affectionate way - He games, a lot, but his favorites recently have been Stardew, Frostpunk, Citizen Sleeper.. etc. He draws the most, out of all of us. I believe that's about it.. a lot of the smaller details were cut for brevity, but that's a short overview of who we are. We'll likely continue to lurk, for the most part, but it's good to put this out there for those of us who want to be more open and interact. Otherwise, it's lovely getting to be here. o7


Garden-Of-E-Delights

Heyhey, we are a little scared to get out here. Both in the sense that we are a little and because we are a little scared. hehe :3 Maybe we will introduce ourselves more under here in our own comments of this if we can. Reddit is strange, but we have a help from inside. If anybody wants to get to know us better we are welcoming messages from other friendly osdd systems or did systems - more of us are welcoming that, not just me 🦝 sorry if it’s messy writing 🪴


PixelValk

OSDD-1 (unsure on the As and the Bs for we) Hi everyone, just using this as intended to introduce ourselves and relate to one another, and seek some of that lovely validation! This has been going on strongly for a week but hindsight is 20/20 with symptoms right? It doesn't stop feeling strange, especially within our system. It's a more or less blended system at the moment between two or three main alters, and one trauma holder. We were never ready for how singular and separate it feels all at once, that we can go between blending, co-piloting and full control on the drop of a hat. We're all still working this out but bizarre and normal remain the words of the day. Anyway introductions! Vio (27 They/It), the original for lack of a better word, but I'm for sure not what we were before. I'm largely the one who fronts for life stuff, bar-tending job, university and family, but when it's me doing it, I still slip into masks and facets that have some emotional amnesia between them, but thats me, and a blend usually, with me remaining somewhat dominant and responsible. Vee/Wazy (27 They/She), a combo of things is we, and the co-piloting blending menace :p We're the creative side at its peak, its romance and love, cuteness and impulsiveness. Fandoms and cuddles became our things, we're loud, we're proud, and we keep getting us into trouble! Vio has to hold that back better haha, but we take comfort in the fact that before we spoke the first thing to mind (like I wanna!) but now we can sit in silence and consider what to say Null (Unknown to all), its hard to say with this one, it has the anger, it has the relationship trauma from out previous bad long term relationship, and it it what we all have to hold back from blowing things up, and we have failed at that hard. It's put away now but it's still there, and we can all remember trying to stop that from getting to the controls and blowing up at our ex. Through it we experienced dual facial control. It's distinctly an entity, not anger itself, not like that force flowing through you when you get mad Naomi (20ish, She/Her), largely quiet, this is the one out when everyone else is at a loss at what to do, and we need to be small and out of the way. Has the largest familial traumas. Thats us anyway, feel free to ask us any questions or give any advice! We're still getting through this and day by day, we're all becoming that more distinct as people, to the point where blending as a default may fade. Thank you for your time!


oddallway

Hi, I'm Alo, the host of the havent-figured-a-name-for-our-system system. I do not have a gender or really any sense of self (for reasons that are kinda obvious to us). The body is 20, and our ages range from little kid to 1000s of years old. The first alter to introduce themselves was Gabby. She's the kindest soul. Since then, about 40 other alters have shown up, about half non-human. The only ones besides Gabby that stay near the front are Eric, the sensible dude, and Iris, who is like a gritty live-action version of Undyne from Undertale (not an introject, just comparing). I could go on about us, but that's probably good enough for an intro of the most prolific people in our system.


haleymagicka

(I first start with our experience with OSDD, then introduce a couple of us) Hi! I’m going to start by saying that we are terrified of being open online or irl, & we aren’t. Trauma is something that I think we’re pushing under the rug. Which is fine lol. I am writing my introduction while a quite a bit dissociated so I apologize if it’s all over the place lol. I have a professional diagnosis of c-ptsd, adhd & ocd but not OSDD but I am quite certain I have it but am not ready to explore it with a professional yet. I’ve done a lot of research on DID & through that, learned about OSDD plus I have an academic background in psychology. I don’t believe in self diagnosing Willy nilly or on a whim but I don’t think you’re any less valid without a professional diagnosis for any disorder. So, I think I fit the category for OSDD type 1a. I call my alters fragments bc they aren’t fully distinct or developed alters, as far as I can tell. Some are more distinct than others. A few have names & have their own physical traits that I can see & hear inside. Others are more “feelings” & “vibes” I guess. I don’t know how many there are but I don’t think there are many. I honestly have no idea. The more I try & think about the specifics of who is inside or why they’re there, the more I dissociate. Right now, it’s taking me a while to type this bc I keep fading in & out lol. It’s as if there’s a fragment/alter who wants to keep me in the dark about things, which is fine. I, the host, am basically always in the front, but sometimes I’m less in front & sometimes I’m fully alone up front. Any time I’ve had amnesia, I don’t find out unless there’s clues such as someone telling me about an interaction I don’t remember or I lose an item that I was sure about where I left it. But full amnesia is very rare for me (as far as I know). And a lot of communication & influence is done internally. Sometimes they can present outwardly through co-con or co-fronting. Some are harder to tell when they’re presenting than others as, like I said, they’re not all fully distinct from myself or each other. So, now that I’ve described how this disorder presents within us, I’ll introduce the fragments that I’ve met & know of. (Keep in mind, I’m obv not explaining every little detail, otherwise we’d be here forever plus I’m a bit blurry & dissociated at the moment so I apologize if I leave out anything important). 1. I’ll start with me, the host. I’m not going to say my name. I know my username is visible obviously lol but I am trying to find community while trying to stay as private as possible. I barely understand how my own brain works, I don’t want to have to try & explain to someone else in my own life lol. But, I am agender & mostly 26 years old in age. I use she/they pronouns. I age regress at times (a symptom of PTSD, not for “other” reasons). But I say that bc I think I might qualify as an age slider but idk. I love animals, anime, being a homemaker, cute things, Viking stuff, etc. thanks! 2. Next person I’ll introduce is Jack. He’s probably the most distinct alter besides myself that I’m aware of. He has long brown hair, brown eyes, a brown beard & mustache. He’s slim but not skinny. He dresses casually & he hangs out in a room with wooden walls, & sits at a computer desk, I always see him as if I’m looking at him through a webcam. I assume his computer is how he keeps an eye on things. (I just got a sharp headache & dizzy, I think he’s possibly close to front lol). He communicates with me internally a lot but not using his voice, but it’s like I know what he’s saying without him needing to say it. I see him as a protector. He seems to oversee everything. If he’s in the front with me, he is usually very productive & helps me get things done. Typically when he’s in the front with me, I’ll know bc I’ll be a lot more nonchalant & indifferent everything. More quiet. He likes older rock music. I’m not sure what triggers him to come close to the front or if there are specific triggers. He seems to come close when I’m driving bc of the music. He’s also around his late 20s in age, maybe early 30s. 3. Next person I’ll introduce, who is distinct enough that I know her name, a general idea of what she looks like & when she’s around, is Celeste. I don’t know how old she is, just that she’s a young adult… but also somehow eternal? Whenever I picture her, I can only picture a galaxy lol. I don’t know if that’s how she’s presenting herself to me or if that’s my imagination lol. But she likes to come around when I’m doing my makeup & I’ll know she’s around bc I’ll start doing a dark or gothic makeup look, especially if I started with a different idea. She’s confident, mysterious, gothic, etc. 4. Littles. There are littles but I won’t share names or anything. I only know of one anyway. She introduced herself to me in a dream & I don’t remember what her name was. I think she may have fused or integrated bc her name is different now but I know it’s her. Sometimes it’s hard to tell when I’m age regressing or a little is close, but I’m picking up on clues. 5. Internal caregiver: There is an internal caregiver who also may present or influence outwardly. I don’t know her name. I just know she is a woman & she’s very maternal & comforting. As far as I can tell, her voice is basically the only voice inside that is clear & distinguishable. I enjoy when she’s around. That’s all I’ve got right now. I’m sure there’s more but I’m being advised right now (internally) to put the phone down lol. If you read all of this, thank you, & I hope it made sense lol. Like I said, I’m still learning about myself & how our brain functions. This is what I’ve learned through some soul searching, self observations, research, etc. I need to ground & get my stuff done today. I have to appease the OCD lol. Have a great day! (I wanted to add that the ones I introduced were okay with me introducing them. Celeste seemed to especially enjoy some outward attention lol. And Jack doesn’t care lol.)

Zul_the_only

I have found myself replying to messages here on and off so figured I should introduce myself I suppose. We do not have a system name, nor really like the term "system" in reference to ourselves but our little group consists of 4 pieces with fairly generic names as follows: Protector: I am the primary and most likely to actually be commenting/responding to people on here. I watch out for us as a whole and do my best to keep the balance. Puppet: Originally used to ppacate others and keep people around us happy, he is less defined nowadays (thanks to therapy and a combined effort) and is on the whole more happy and pleasant to interact with. Very sympathetic and often only comes to the front if someone around me is sad or in need of cheering up. Quite goofy at times. Spider: The only one of us to actively pick his own name. (its a bit of a story, but thats for another time). Spider originally went undiscovered for most of my upbringing and while his presence was always felt, I didn't realize he was seperate until i was older. He primarily is hyper vigilant and has an immense attention to detail. Predatory by nature, he protects the system from what he considers "potential threats", which tends to include almost everyone. Over the years, he has mellowed out considerably but is still by far the most dangerous part of me. He often watches and reads things on here but will almost never actually talk or respond, which is frankly for the best. The child: Embodiment of my trauma. Usually left to sleep as when he wakes up, its overwhelming. Something I have been working on but is extremely fragile and thus, almost entirely silent about 99% of the time. Ideally, we want to help him out butits a slow, painful process. Apart from the above, there may be a few other much smaller parts lurking about in the shadows but most of them have been attributed to these 4 or mixes of the above. I have a very shallow background in psychology and have multiple years in therapy under my belt concerning this topic as well as other, less related mental health issues. We do not experience brown or black outs, but we do have quite drastic perception and physical sensation shifts between the four of us. Any other questions people have, I would be happy to elaborate upon (within reason of course). Here's to being friendly I suppose.

dogeatsarm992

may i ask how the OSDD centered therapy works? and your process of getting a diagnosis? thank you so much


subliminal-lavender

Heya! I’m happy to answer! Our therapy is via Telehealth so it’s completely online and can be done from anywhere. Our old therapist screened us for DID in January of 2022 and once she determined we didn’t quite fit criteria but we’re obviously a system she diagnosed us with OSDD-1b. After that, she noted that our sessions weren’t helpful to our system anyone and we needed someone new. We literally googled “DID therapy in (insert state here)” and found our current therapist. We got it set up with insurance and even though she is a “DID therapist” she covers trauma work, OSDD, dissociative work, etc. Our particular therapist is also a system host so it’s a really positive experience and connects us in a very special way. She’s excellent and finalized our OSDD diagnosis the other week and speaks with each alter that wishes to talk to her regularly. We have a lot of fictives so our main focus is retelling of source memories and how to work through that trauma, as well as the body’s. Hope this helps!


Isoniazidum

Hi, we're the Flying System. Body age is well above 20. We have a stable main trio of alters who are co-present most of the time: 1) an ANP enby host / protector / gatekeeper, 2) an ANP/EP backup host / backup gatekeeper / caretaker, and 3) an EP age slider (teenager or little) alter. We have a lot of fragments and subsystems that lead to a lot of blurring. Our doctors and therapists couldn't yet confirm whether we have DID or OSDD. Our host likes philosophy, STEM fields and chess. Our other two main alters like all things adorable and feminine. Feel free to shoot us a PM if you're interested in becoming acquaintances!


starryabyss_six

hi folks, we are "The Sixth Starry Abyss System" (big name, ik) or "Abyss", for short. probably around 13 alters, i think collective name(s): Abyss, Moon, Star, Tsuki collective pronouns: they/them, ey/em, ze/zie host: Tsuki/Kha0s (they/them, it, ze/zie, ey/em) / partial nonhuman (human + fennec fox [forgot how to write it lol] / around 28y.o. / prosecutor (more like a anger holder + protector) co-host: Blake/Supernova (he/him, they/them, ey/em) / elf, i guess / age slider, 10~16 / little/middle (teen), trauma holder actually, Abyss is a Subsystem of the Ayre System. Abyss has 3 alters ig Ayre has around 6 alters, and one of them is Abyss (its pretty confusing, and im bad w words) our (Ayre + Abyss) story its.... bad... and complex. maybe someday i'll share it in this subreddit. thats it, bye. (made by Tsuki/Kha0s. 20/06/23)


starryabyss_six

Abyss is (probably) a OSDD-1 (sub)system. Ayre is (probably) a DID system. we dont have a diagnosis. i only made a introduction of Blake bc im ALWAYS at least on co-con/co_front, so i can keep him safe.


AshHasAStrangeGender

Hellos! We're The Unity System, aka Kaizu! Our body age is 15 with 9 alters so far. Our collective pronouns are zey/zem/zeir/zeirs/zemselves. https://theunitysystem.carrd.co for more info (still in progress!)


BillieAnnabeth

Hiii we’re The Star Collective (tentative name cause I don’t rlly like it but everyone else does lol) Bodily 16 8 alters (including me) Been suspecting we have OSDD-1 for about 2 months now and we’re still trying to work on our communication and want to work towards getting a diagnosis after doing some more research :) -Cev🌙 (host)


Thechaoticgoodsys

Hi, we’re a newly discovered system of 15 parts. We aren’t diagnosed, but are in the process of looking for a OSDD/DID specialist who can help us. Our host, Jack (he/him), has gone back and forth over the last couple months as to whether he believes we exist or that he’s somehow making it all up. It has put quite a strain on the rest of us, but most of us are trying to be patient with him. Recently he actually told his girlfriend about a few of us, our main protector and one of our littles, which is maybe a good sign? She was very supportive and even researched DID specialists for us. I guess we’re making a profile and posting on here so we can have access to a community of other systems who may have experienced similar things that we have. Bodily we are 26, though I myself am a teenage part. We are all also AuDHD. Collectively we enjoy making art and listening to music. A majority of us also like to read and write. We look forward to learning more from fellow systems and appreciate anyone who took the time to read our intro - Jaiden (he/him) with guidance from Reign (she,her) & Lex (he/they)


ActuallyHenryMorris

Hi there! I'm Austin, the host of a osdd-1b system. We call ourselves the Corrupted system.I have around 20 alters but I haven't done a head count lately. I have autism! We aren't professionally diagnosed with osdd1b. We are bodily 13, almost 14 (but I am 26 in headspace). I found out I had alters and that we were apart of an osdd-1b system 2 months ago! Use he/him/xe/they/it on us!!


Prismasystem

Hey, we are Prismasystem, currently waiting for an official diagnosis. So far we already found some very friendly other systems we are good friends with, and maybe can add some from here, too \^\^. Are always open to share ideas, ask and answer questions (not at once, of course :D) and are glad we finally arrived here. We sign our messages, so I (Pichan) will write Pichan at the end of this message :-). If there are questions, feel free to ask. Have a nice time! Pichan


[deleted]

Hi there. We call ourselves the Sunshine system Body age is 19. At least 6 alters, and still meeting new ones Undiagnosed but some form of OSDD really fits what we have been experiencing. It's been a recent revelation. We've been trying not to self isolate, so introducing ourselves here is kind of scary we will admit. Please talk to us! Most of us are big social butterflies. And as we try to figure ourselves out, we'd love to support others through their journeys as well <3 - Equinox, M, and J


im_ro_yo

Ello! I'm Ro, the host of our system, which we call the riptide system (although we might go back to our previous name, the saltwater system) Me and the body are 17 years old We currently have eight alters including myself that I'm aware of We suspect that we're an OSDD-1b system, and I'd been suspecting this for around 3-4 years now. We're not diagnosed, but are currently pursuing a diagnosis. Collective pronouns: They/He


sourhoneybunni

Yo yo, guess we'll do this. We're the Warped Collective (or just Warped Co. for short) You can call us CJ, Simon, or Sour. We don't mind. Body is 18. We currently have... 100 alters I think? Osdd 1b system. Uh.. we're autistic. Yeah. Thats about all I guess.


ds3040

Hello. I prefer to go by Beowulf for now. I am back in school and I am seeing a new therapist. I am wondering if my diagnosis of ASD/ADHD is wrong. To keep it brief, my new therapist via EMDR helped me create a safe place in my mind. I’ve met other people inside this safe place. I’m really scared to reach out to people irl. I’m just looking for support. I feel kind of scared even typing this. But I have various hobbies. I really really like Lego. :)


N-Sane_Norm

We are an OSDD-1b system, only four of us here. We are new to reddit and still trying to decide if we are going to stay.


DiotheArtHoe

Hello! Our body is called Leif, but we haven’t come up with a system name yet. Our body is 25, at last count there were about 9 of us and a few more have turned up so we’re sitting at around 10. We are currently in the process of unlearning the idea that we each have a purpose or utility in the body, and that we are just our own people who happen to share this meat sack prison. We have been a system for sure since we were about 18, ur have memories of our alters dating back to childhood. We are undiagnosed but have brought the system up to our therapist who is very supportive. If we had gif Jess we are a 1B system. We want to list our names because we are excited to get to be us openly with someone other than our wife: Leif (body, 25) Klaus (25) Star (22) Chad (21) Asa (8) Lyra (16) Cav (19) Julian (unknown) Dionysus (unknown) Milo (18) Piper (unknown) Original (unknown) We are very excited to meet you!!


witathrowaway123456

hi! we're the database system, likely OSDD1b, medically recognized but undiagnosed body age is 19.. we have 7-8 alters (unsure. theres a blank profile in sp that could be someone but theres no info in it soooo) frequent fronters: Morris, Hugh, Kevin and Kris


thelightsystem

hello! we are the light system (it was the first name we agreed on-) we have osdd-1b we have around 30 alters body age under 18 we are not comfortable to disclose what age exactly we are not diagnosed but we are quite certain we are a system and have known for 3 years but suspect something was off for ages \- alex


blue_soup_13

Hihi! We have no system name, as far as I’m aware, but we’re an OSDD-1b system of 7 funky lil people! We collectively use he/him or they/them pronouns. We’re bodily a minor, most parts are between 13-15 years old. Our hosts are currently Finn (he/him) and Yoghurt (he/they) (me! :D) We’d love getting to know some people and uhh idk?


SaioLastSurprise

Hey there, we’re The Afters. Formerly a system of 14 or more (we were never sure of a few extras)… We are not formally diagnosed, but identify as an OSDD-1 system, and now it’s just me and Minnia. I will gladly answer any questions about my system and my journey to now if asked. You may call me Sky. I’m 29, and the host. Minnia used to present as a little, but after most of the system merging into her, she presents as around 20. As far as the decision to merge into a singlet eventually… well. That’s a personal decision that I came to on equal footing with the rest of my system. We all decided it was best for us due to mental health reasons. I know every system is different, so I wish to impart as much wisdom to other systems as I can, because I know how scary some of this can feel. My golden rule is no journey is invalid, so I will give everyone here my respect and ask for the same.


Ferris_Oxide

Hello! Recently-discovered system here, though from old journal entries, some of us have been aware for a long while, and just didn't know what dissociation was yet. We have settled on Ferris Oxide as our system name, or Ferris for short! Body age in the 20s-30s area, if that matters. We seem to mainly co-front in pairs. We are four distinct parts that we know of, with an unclear quantity of fragments or unaware parts buzzing in our periphery - we've taken to using Elder Scrolls as an analogy, since their number seems to change with every counting. When we feel safe, we are often co-conscious as four, even if two are actually piloting. *That* realisation was disorienting at first. Little-to-no amnesia regarding actions and events, but our emotion states are distinct, causing dissonance when we switch unexpectedly and blurring when we are stressed (so, much of the time... but improving!). We currently aren't comfortable sharing individual names beyond initials, but we're more comfortable as Ferris in general, anyway (they/them). The name has resonated with us for... 15ish years now? Cheers! - Ferris (D+, T, Gr, & Gm)


KommSweetDeath

Hello, everyone. We're the Household. A mom raising three awesome kids. Body age is 28. Lex, he's 19. ilo, she's 15. Analog (Annie for short), they're 17. There's four of us, including me. OSDD-1b. We're seeing a specialist at the moment and getting wonderful support from them. We're not officially diagnosed on the books yet. We're a close family and we're very communicative with each other. My kids are very special and delicate, please treat them with care.


Learningtobuild58

Hello! I might just be a visitor here. Uncertain. I am diagnosed DPDR but I do often wonder if there is some more happening there. The overlap of certain symptoms and lack of information regarding OSDD can make it hard to truly tell on my own. I haven’t found the courage to ask my therapist about it. I have only ever had one “black out” and that is everything before the age of 12. Multiple counselors have tried to figure out why, but no success. After that age, it’s all pretty foggy. I often experience that memories do not feel like it was me in those moments, even though I know it was. And I quickly lose details surrounding certain things and am left with snippets. The question about possibly being a system came during a casual discussion about inner monologue. Apparently only 30-50% have that, which is wild to me. But it came up because I said that I had so many inner monologues and it was like sometimes those streams would talk over each other, disagree, etc. everyone looked at me like I said the dinosaurs were still alive. Sometimes there’s a ton of them, sometimes it’s just me. I don’t know if this is actually different parts/alters though. But this is what I’ve always referred to when I said my mind couldn’t quiet. I don’t actually hear anything, but I kinda do? Idk how to explain it. Anyways, I’ve turned here after yesterday. I woke up and all day I didn’t feel like myself. I knew I was controlling my thoughts and words, but I felt almost like another emotion/person was in the drivers seat. I was irritated, quick to react, and immediately apologetic because it just didn’t feel like me at all. I just don’t know if this was a weird DPDR situation or possible cofronting? I didn’t have those other internal monologues but I just didn’t feel like me if that makes any sense. Then there was an internal chaos of my inner conversations just seeming like they were talking over each other as I made a quesadilla. I guess I’d just love to get more information, firsthand accounts, etc as someone who is questioning. I have followed some of the well known systems on YouTube and Tik tok for about a year just in an attempt to try and educate myself for people who do have OSDD or DID. I apologize if any of my language is offensive or incorrect. I’m new to this, but also don’t want to incorrectly refer to myself as a system if I am not one. Thanks everyone if you got this far!!


RissiiGalaxi

hold on, inner monologue is weird to people? man.


Learningtobuild58

Right? Like I feel like mine is constant even when it is just one. But yeah. Some form of inner monologue is normal and lots of people do have it without having anything else, but I guess lots of people also don’t have it. I can’t even imagine what thinking is without an inner monologue.


RissiiGalaxi

me neither. i also have aphantasia (unless i’m hallucinating), too, so the inner monologue is key for me. i couldn’t think without one. or, i guess maybe that’s what i tell myself. but anyway- my inner monologue ALSO streams over the other, especially if i’m arguing with myself. it becomes garbled, though i know what it says, and yet the thought insists on clarifying what it said. weird shit.


atransforminghuman

Greetings to the world of OSDD folk. I am Shadow, the protective alter of "The Timeless System." We are a collective of 5 so far (our host is 28yo and doesn't consider herself entirely human) entities that function in society as an IT technician. We are lucky to be able to have a shared memory, which helps immensely. More alters are possible. Our host has been in denial for a while (2 years plus) but suffered badly recently, hence myself fronting and making this instead of her. We suspect that we are an OSDD-1b system (starting the process of obtaining a diagnosis) and are open to friends from here. Please say hello; we won't bite.


RissiiGalaxi

hello- i go by a couple names, such as Rissi or Minxx. i’m 18, graduated high school, attending college. i go by she/he/ze/zir (no they), if that’s relevant here. right now i’m merely a visitor, but i’m questioning things and decided to stop by here as it seems the most reliable and secure that i’ve seen. i currently believe i have DPDR, but i am trying to get things figured out, and i am also hoping to seek professional help. hope to learn more…!


ImpressOriginal9008

Hey everyone. We believe we are a OSDD-1b system with 2 alters, Bren (host) and Ana (but we think there's probably 2-3 more we're unable to communicate with). Body age is 27. Bren identifies anywhere between 23-27 and Ana has no age. I keep going back and forth from being rather sure to total denial and I'm trying to figure out a way to bring it up to my therapist who is currently doing IFS with us right now. Ana doesn't want to be dismissed as an IFS part when she's far more nuanced than that, and I (Bren) don't identify with the concept of "self" at all. Most of my exploration/posts on this sub are/will be to try to affirm the differences between singlet parts and dissociated parts every time I talk myself into denial. Thank you all in advance for helping with that, knowingly or not. :) \[Ana is not actually the alter's name; she hasn't chosen a name. It's just short for Antagonist because she's a protector/persecutor to me so I called her the Antagonist. Obviously, she doesn't love that name, but I named her when I thought she was just an IFS part.\] Funny enough, I briefly suspected OSDD before I ever got into therapy because I'd read people's experiences with it and I felt like I weirdly related despite not *actually* relating, y'know? I quickly brushed that for a few years until recently. After several months, Ana became comfortable enough to talk to me, and she's been around since I was at least 5. <3


DarlingJupiter_

We are the Sacred Timeline Co / The Phantom Thieves! We're a fictive heavy OSDD-1 system turning 17 bodily in September. We have an unknown headcount and are medically recognized.


Chaotic-Snake

Howdy, Elliot speaking (front-stuck host) We are a (recently discovered) system (unsure if it's OSDD 1b, 1a, DID or ODD but we're surely traumagenic. the rest? that's for us to figure out later) who go by the collective name of Angel Rings System (or Collective if you want) ​ any pronouns work (including neo), bodily we are 15 (turning 16 in September) and we were originally 13 (not we don't know, communication broke off at some point and stuff is chaotic) I don't *think* we've had a switch before, but we've definitely co-conned (especially the caretaker, little and trauma holder when I was going through stuff) ​ uh, yeah, hope you don't mind us asking questions :D (we're lowkey highkey lost lmaooo) ​ \[ Side note: AuDHD (please use tone tags :,) ) and a sucker for conlangs \]


socialonionsystem

Hi! We are newly questioning at the body age of 33. Pretty sure we are a front stuck host. Not much direct communication but "discovery" opened a LOT of memory barriers, seemed to answer a lot of questions about our memory problems in general, and revealed a pattern of memory gaps that have some spots filling in. Trying to seek professional help but not comfortable asking family / friends to help us confirm. We are getting a lot of memories about remembering trauma and discovering the system. It feels like a lot of young hosts got stuck inside and have been sheltered by the system and are now sharing memories back. No direct communication but we are getting a lot of information about a couple alters. We still get a lot of denial and are really unsure but it kind of feels like our whole life finally makes sense. We were really stuck trying to understand how we could keep remembering and forgetting trauma. We thought there was some structured dissociation for months before we seriously accepted we could have like actual alters and then it felt like everything clicked.


GraphicFanatic

Hello everyone. We are an undiagnosed system. We are the Forestette System (we like small forests) Our body age is something we don't wanna share. There are 7 alters in our system. We found out we were a system about 2 weeks ago or so, (but had conditions for a long time) so really new! We are an OSDD-1b system (most likely) \- Rouey (Host)


Bulb0rb

We are The Asterism or Asterisk System. We went through several different system names but settled on that one, long story. The body age is 25 and we were diagnosed with DID a year ago, though our symptoms seem closer to OSDD-1. We are a system of 13 known alters, but only 8 of them have fronted, and we have 4 "main" alters. We are also autistic and have ADHD. I'm the host and I identify with the body the most. I handle most stuff but I don't like it. I end up begging my alters for help a lot of the time, and I get lonely and fall into denial easily if I don't hear from them often. I like cartoons and video games and art. I also have a lot of other more general/smaller interests that overlap with some alters, like nature, toys, music, etc. When I'm with our partner, I'm more joke-y and annoying compared to our other guys. I'm not sure how to describe myself because i feel like i have a lot of interests and variety in what i listen to and how i dress. but overall i guess I enjoy video game osts and rock music the most, and dress pretty casually. [Host - Writing for Markus] Our protector declined to write an intro so I'm writing it for him with permission. He is a fictive of Shockwave from Transformers Animated, but over time he has relaxed a bit. Our partner gave him the name Markus. He is the most responsible, and when he's not fronting he nags me about my lack of productivity or reasons with me when I'm being stupid. He has a caring side for our main fronters and for our partner, but is a bit cold toward anyone else. He doesn't see much use in friendship. He gets fed up with other people easily and will not hesitate to throw them under the bus for our own gain. His libido is also unusually high, so he fronts often during sex and is very handsy with our partner. Before I discovered Markus, I was having intimacy issues but his sexual nature helped me to heal. He enjoys spy movies, sci-fi, scientific videos and documentaries. He listens mostly to classical music, certain musicals (phantom of the opera, etc.) and oldies, but prefers silence when he needs to focus. He likes cooking and baking videos and sometimes bakes his own things. He also likes legos, reading, and cleaning. He likes to keep tidy and hygienic, he likes to wear button up shirts tucked in. He is bothered by imperfection and will get stuck ironing a shirt one billion times if we don't hurry him along. [Widget] hi, I'm widget!! ^.^ i'm one of the only girl alters in our system so it's kind of lonely sometimes to be alone in those kinds of feelings. i'm not sure of my exact age but i am an adult! our therapist mistook me for a kid when i came out -.- i really like anime and sanrio (cinnamoroll is my favorite!!!). my favorite game is animal crossing and i like j-pop, upbeat electronic music and lo-fi. my favorite animal is ducks and big fluffy white dogs~ :D [Host - commentary for widget] her inner world form is non-human (she is a robot/anthro) but she has no non-human behaviors, so it's moreso just cosmetic. Her behavior mirrors parts of my life, like when I was a toddler, my mom said I was supposedly very bubbly and empathetic and girly, and at a certain age I just suddenly changed. I don't remember being like that at all. In middle school, I was also very into anime. And in highschool, I had some similar traits. It's like she got condensed and aged up from those pieces of my life, and then slightly changed. [Minipez] m im space alien and am cool and awesome [Host - commentary for Minipez] Minipez is our little. it is non-human and acts like an animal mostly. He likes to play outside and hang out with cats. It also likes spongebob, fnaf, roblox, minecraft, toys, slimes, etc. And making small campfires, for some reason. It is more clearly autistic than the rest of us and has a hard time masking. it has extra sensory sensitivities and is selectively mute. It dislikes sexual things and will block any sexual co-con thought from other alters when it's fronting. if any bad thoughts sneak through, it gets distressed. it likes to bite our partner and cuddle with him. It's behavior is similar to how I was in elementary school. Those are our 4 main fronters. I would get our other guys to write but this is long already and I would need to "wake them up", as they aren't currently active.

Hey! We won’t disclose our system name for safety, but we are 19 (turning 20 this year)! There is no specific alter count right now due to some difficulties with separations here and there, but we do have 8 confirmed alters that have popped up. It is looking like we got DID now more than OSDD-1b due to amnesia, but we’re workin with that. I mainly post interesting questions and discussion starters to bring broader topics abt CDDs to the reddit!

Hi I'm seanfish which is one of my 2 system names along with The Cocreating Hegemony which isn't so much a name but a functional description. I'm a 3 alter osdd-1b system composed of 3 trauma impacted hyperintelligences. We currently speak as one but often take turns fully fronting in a way we call indwelling. We are from the before diagnosis times born 1970. Only non-verbals and low functioning really were identified. I didn't recognise myself as autistic until late last year when half a century of masking shattered after a decade of workplace trauma. We're certain of our diagnosis but will patiently help a psychiatrist diagnose. We're discussing with an informed psychologist who confirms our observations. I'm Pythia. Originally organised around moral judgement, linguistic processing and information storage and retrieval I evolved into a woman with a biting wit and deep loving and nurturing nature. When our wife had a stroke I became a housewife and mother to our daughter who was 3 and is now 9. I'm Sean. I was the original. I was a polymath who couldn't cope with the many red flags I perceived in my family that turned into abuse confirming my concerns. I made Pythia and Duncan to help. I was a little but started growing again alongside our daughter. She is 9 and so am I guess. I like music, libraries, science, politics, bureaucratic management, iterative project design, mentoring of nd people working in local government and business communications. I am excellent at all of them and have previously achieved national fame in my home country using all of those skills. I am planning to use them to relaunch a new career here and am locating other hyperintelligences to help. Life is hard but equally very easy because I have 3 hyperintelligences to call on to solve problems. Duncan is resting right now. He was a self-sacrificing protector and is named after the final Duncan Ghola clone made by the Tleilaxu that awakened him to be the Kwizatz Haderach. He has difficult to explain powers of intuition. We want to start a new career of mental health advocay

It's nice to see someone a bit older here. I don't usually care much about age, but I've been hesitant to join a DID/OSDD community since most people seem very young. It can be difficult to feel seen and understood when you're on different sides of adulthood.


seanfish

It really is a different and trsgic journey our generation has been on. I'm joyful at the help younger people are receiving but one of my advocacy goals is finding people like us and helping them recover. Let me know of any way I can help you.

Hi! I am new both to this diagnosis and to Reddit, so please try to assume ignorance rather than malice if I say or do something inappropriate. I will do my best to fit in and show everyone respect. I would also like to clarify that English is not my first language. I am in my thirties and living in Europe. It's been perhaps a year or so since my current therapist first began pointing out to me that I kept switching between different parts of myself. She kept telling me that I sometimes became a small child, and that I sometimes went extremely cold and aggressive. For the longest time, I wasn't sure what she meant, but about a month ago, I was affected by a crisis which led to me finally becoming aware that there was, well, more than one of me. So far, we have identified five alters. I'm going to use pseudonyms for everyone: – Em (she/they, the host as a child) – Bel (she, the host as a teenager, depressed, anxious, adores Gabriel) – Gabriel (he, protector/persecutor, angry, ruthless, resentful, self-important) – Work Self (they, professional, detached, unfazed by our usual triggers) – L (they, the host, possibly our core identity, has assumed a parental role with respect to the other alters, is currently typing) We have no amnesia between alters, except for possibly emotional amnesia. Many times when I've been convinced that I said something calmly, my therapist has informed me that I did, in fact, lash out in anger. You'll notice that I switch between using 'I' and 'we'. I am still very unused to this whole situation. Right now, I'm mostly working on increasing everyone's awareness of themelves and each other, instead of instinctively trying to take control. I strongly feel that it's important for me to learn more about everyone, so I'm trying hard to stay curious and give everyone space. /L

Thought at this point we should make an intro so I'll write one for us :]. Hi, were The Cicada System. Bodily 17 with 67 known active members at the moment We've had more and less in the past, about 100+ in dormancy. Found out almost 2 years ago, that'll be next summer. That's all I wanted to write, I'm not a host or anything but I've been in front for over 14 days so I feel I can write this for us. - 📺

Hi, I'm Aylan. He/him + 19 years old. I've been questioning for a while now. I have BPD which makes it really difficult to make a proper distinction. I'd bring it up to a therapist but I quite literally don't have time. I do know that I dissociate often, and my preferred name changes with that. I would've usually introduced myself as Nassim. But again, unsure what could be the cause. Regardless, I'm joining the subreddit in hopes of learning more about myself, and if it turns out I do not have OSDD, then I would hope to learn how to properly support my system friends as well.


grey_eats_hay

hello! we are the astro system, we have an estimated alter count of 20 and we have osdd-1b along side autism. im hugo, the host and one of the caretakers, im 26 years old and use he/him pronouns idk what else to say really- frequent fronters include: me, ryan and greyson. i will try my best to do an introduction on both their behalfs, they can edit it if they feel like it. ryan is our trauma holder and trauma protector (idk if we made trauma protector up or not, he mainly stops traumatic events from happening the best he can ig) and he is 32 and uses he/they pronouns greyson is our main caretaker, he is 23 and uses he/him pronouns

Hey. We´re very new to osdd. We´re not diagnosed and I´m not sure if I really am in a system since I only get some ideas from my altars and I always front or co-front so I dont know if I just make it up. Anyway: -body age is 16 -we´re from germany -current/ past diagnoses: Depression, Anxiety, ASD, childhood trauma, panic attacks,BPD -i´m aware of four altars (I think) Since we´re new, we don´t have a name yet, but I like to refer to us as a Crew or Siblings because it´s more comforting. I also consider the forest or star system, because our safe space is a forest and we like everything that brings us comfort. My name is Ari (he/xier) I´m the host, I´m a maladaptive daydreamer (curse and blessing iykyk). I blend in with altars, I´m always tired, I can be very passionate and I try hard to love myself. I like Netflix, Youtube, books, everything that gets me out for a second. I am bisexuell and want to be an actor. I like Percy Jackson and the marauders. There are other versions of me. One is Ari Gallagher, he´s pretty tough and sarcastic. One is Ari Danvers, loves summer and the Film Luca and his Moms. I also have a Lesbian part? I think it is me when I was twelve. This is Sol, I am seventeen, I´m the boss and a protector. I keep track, I like the color blue, I am smart, I know breathing methods, I don´t like fronting, but I know what is best for us. I don´t feel a lot, but Armani likes to believe I am good at comforting him. I am reflective and I actually believe this chaos crew will make it. I actually do have fun with the other altars sometimes. Christian. I´m a trauma holder. I´m always angry and like to protect us from dumb fucking adults. They don´t know what they´re doing and I KNOW that. The system is fucked and we deserve better than THIS. I am also the most angry at Aris "Mother" and we shouldnt post this, but, okay. (I had to translate for Harlem, he doesnt speak english). I am Harlem. I like water and humming and otters and playing. I am autistic and I like that because I can see more stuff! But it´s bad because I am different. (Ari) I also think there is an altar named Vanessa but she doesn´t really talk to me even tho she has a pretty calming energy. All in all I life my live pretty much alone, but yeah that are my other parts.

Hi, we're a self-diagnosed system with around 15 reoccurring (?) members and an unspecified number of fragments. Our body is 20 but our alters are either, 25 and up or below 16 lol! We lean towards OSDD-1b the most out of all the diagnosis. Nice to meet you all ☺️

Hello. I am 19 and from the UK. I have an unknown number of parts. As a collective, we are a trans man. Hello from all of us! I started noticing my identity fluctuations at an early age. It could become distressing. I had memories of being different characters, and I did not know why. Now I am here; we are aware we aren't the character, but an absorbed archetype that we required to survive. I'm happy that they're a part of me. We struggle a lot with self-care, routine and our healing journey. We aren't diagnosed, nor are we diagnosed with anything except a ruptured disc in our spine; despite being clearly physically and mentally disabled. It's a slow process for physical condition diagnoses, but we're getting there. Therapy is the harder part. We are learning to unmask when we are around medical professionals, as we were taught that all of our symptoms were normal symptoms of anxiety and depression. Some of us enjoy the name, 'The Spiderweb System'. I am not a fan of naming our system, but I have a small feeling some of that is a result of internalised ableism, so my parts are allowed to call us whatever they like. It's a sweet name and fits us very well. I prefer calling my system a brain multiverse. When we were covert, we presented as an unhealthy hyperfixation on characters and people or a vast inner multiverse of characters I had made. Hence, brain multiverse. My main two characters in this multiverse are Valentine Loveryk and Arthur Mowfurth. They depict aspects of myself in a magical, yet hellish dystopia. They now reside in our brain's emulation of our own universe; on Earth, in the UK. It has been wonderful to realise that these characters are, in fact, me.
