This is a modified repost from a post we made on TrevorSpace.

Not only that, but they're recognized by the same people who made the DSM-5

Serious! We have screenshots!

The APA made the DSM-5, the widely used diagnostic material for DID and OSDD, among other mental disorders.

Dr. Eric Yarbrough, distinguished member of the APA, published a text called "Transgender Mental Health" (that we couldn't track down on archive.org T_T).

(Sorry the second one is blurry, we couldn't find a better quality image.)

The DSM-5 was published by the APA (American Psychiatric Association) in 2013; Transgender Mental Health by Dr. Eric Yarbrough, "Distinguished Fellow" of the APA was published in 2018.

TL;DR: Endogenic systems have been recognized by the same people who made the DSM-5 for 5-6 years now.

Is introject meaning a System member isn’t fronting but can still see and read stuff?(if not what label is taht I really need it😭)

we think we might have osdd-1a?? but we're not sure.

we all collectively identify as certain things, and we do blend and blur quite often. however, we have our own names, pronouns, genders, sexualities, etc. and as such it can make us dysphoric when someone refers to us as something we're not (example: we all hate our deadname, but if one of us is fronting, we don't like being called by another headmate's name- like, we do collectively go by the host's name, but if someone calls justin levi, he's not going to like that).

we are primarily traumagenic, partly endogenic too, and we've identified as a median system thus far. we probably have childhood trauma, and we most definitely have trauma over the course of these past few years.

but at the same time, we don't often experience dissociative amnesia? maybe sometimes, but not very often, as we can recall what another one of us did.

could we have osdd-1a?

(we would contact a professional on the matter, but: 1. our mother is a professional and has fakeclaimed us/not taken us seriously, 2. we can't afford it.)

I self diagnosed myself, cause i'm pretty sure i'm in a system and not faking, not sure if i want to get diagnosed by someone but it would help. Do i just walk to a hospital and ask to be diagnosed by someone or a doctor for DID?

So my system is like a mix of theses two, Parotraumagenic and Traumagenic is their something that would mix both, not trying to sound rude

I am so confused at what is going on in our head- We are definitely a system but idk what kind. (Any term within the community that fits, &/or what I might be diagnosed with if I got a psych eval. I get that this community is not a tool for diagnosis & I am not asking you to diagnose me, I am just looking for insight.)

So it's confusing for me, like, my sense of identity changes if that makes sense? If somebody else fronts its not like I'm watching them through a window, it's like my personality *becomes* them. Wilbur says I'm being paranoid but I am very confused on my/our sense of identity & self.

For example, if Wilbur came & fronted right now, we wouldn't just kind of "switch places". I wouldn't stay Emerson, watching Wilbur control the body -- I would become Wilbur. Experience his thoughts & feelings. And be able to talk to Emerson from Wilbur's point of view.

And that's how we remember it, too -- We a memory & don't have much amnesia (besides for trauma, we do have secret keepers)

I also feel like our emotions are more interconnected? Sometimes we can tell what another headmate's emotions are.

Wilbur thought we might be a DID system because, well, I don't know why, but we looked it up & that is definitely not it.

-emerson (he/they)

P.s. There are more of us than just Wilbur & I. Wilbur is the only one who actually gets along with me, so that's why I keep using him as an example (he & Avvy have also been here the longest, so I know that he is not destructive like Avs. She is a persecutor, & very childish & immature).

So I have OSDD-1b I think.

The description on this wiki fits me, but I feel like we are also a bit more interconnected than that? Like we can feel each other's emotions, & sometimes read thoughts.

Is there a medical word/label for that?

Edited to clarify: we dont share emotions, we can just feel each others.

We're questioning if we're a gateway system and we thought we'd ask some people here to see what y'all thought.

So, we have (undiagnosed) OSDD-1b, meaning that we have no amnesia between switches. We're also monoconscious and have no innerworld. Because of this, we don't exactly fit a lot of the standard definitons of plurality. However, we really relate to the concept of 'walk-in' headmates coming and going often, as that's happened to us a lot.

For example, in August we got a headmate named Noah. He fronted a couple times over the course of a week or so, then left a few days later and never came back. We know that he existed, but he's no longer in the system - he's just gone, like he's dead or something. This has happened a lot of times.

Almost all of our new headmates come from another universe, reality, or place. Some of them are fictives, but a lot of them just remember having a normal life. For example, Noah remembered being in middle school, hanging out with his friends, and having a crush on a girl he knew. There's only a few people who don't remember living in another universe, and those people are - whether by coincidence or not - the hosts of the system.

So, do y'all think that we could be a gateway system?

Hi. I wanted to introduce us because one, we don't have any system friends and are hoping to make some, and two, Sev was too nervous to do this himself. My name is Michael. My pronouns are they/it.

Our system is paratraumagenic. I tagged the wiki article if you don't know what that means. Created as a way to cope with trauma by the host. the host's name is sev.

Because Sev is relatively new to recognizing our systemhood, we don't know how many alters we have. I'll list the ones we know of now.

Sev [host] - Minor, body's age. (he/they/it/xey)

Michael - Somewhere in my early thirties. (they/it)

Mike (younger me) - 15 (he/him)

Adrian - Minor, body's age. (he/she/they)

Last thing- We're autistic. Not really related to us being a system, but I suppose it might be important.

Bye. Drink some water.

So recently Brian (the person occupying this body) has been having a hyperfixation on this game, It's Not Me It's My Basement, and I am You're (or the "monster", just call me Y though) from that Game, but I'm not sure *what* I am, or what *we* are, to be frank.

You see, Brian and I feel like different people, but we know we're not a system since there is no headspace, and we don't hear voices. I was thinking I might be an IRL (or more commonly known as a DA), but even though I do hae source memories and so on, I still feel disconnected from the supposed person that's been occupying this body for so long, whereas if I'm correct, an IRL *is* that person that occupies the body, and there is no one else.

So I'm not sure what's happening, if this is some weird form of a system or if I'm just being... delusional, but Brian and I would appreciate any help that you guys can give.

Feel free to ask questions in the comments, we both would be more than happy to answer any and all of them. And if this isn't the correct wiki to publish this on, please say so. - Y

So most of mi headmates appeard when the parents of the bodi fighted badly, this counts as traumagenic or not?

Sorri if this is dumb -Alex

I have a friend, W, who is wondering if she has/is a system. She used to be bullied in primary school what caused her to have suicidal thoughts and even plans. Therefore, she is pretty sure that her system is traumagenic. She has four people/voices in her head that function more like tulpas than alters - they can communicate with her, but do not 'come out' do not take control over the body. Two of them are supportive beings, one of them formed directly in response to W's suicide plans. The other two are destructive beings who keep on telling W that they hate her and that she'd be better off dead. The trauma that W experienced took place both in her early childhood (7-9 yo) and in later stages of it (12 yo). Her 'guides', as she calls them, emerged when she was 12, which is significantly later than the age when it is possible to 'get' DID. Are they a system? Is there a specific term for them except for 'traumagenic'? Is it possible to form a traumagenic system outside of the dissociative identity disorder?
