i think we need to stop focusing on telling little girls they need to be “empowered” & instead teach them about chaotic mirth, hijinks, & becoming complete rascals
Been slowly scrolling back through my inbox and queuing up answers. Finally got back to two weeks ago when I mentioned the hospital gave me fentanyl, and the number of “alarmed” messages I got from non-followers lecturing me about taking such a “dangerous drug” has me rolling.
Like c'mon. First of all, it was a one-time dosage to knock me out for a procedure that didn’t even knock me out, and second of all, I’m not a fucking cop <3
Just so we’re clear, anyone can get addicted to drugs, and it can be devastating. This post is not making fun of addicts.
It’s taking a knife-swipe at people who swallow copaganda and spout all kinds of anti-medication rhetoric at me and people like me any time we mention managing our pain with anything other than “positive vibes” and exercise.
I’ve lost so many friends to the opioid crisis – not from opioid use, but because the response to the opioid crisis was to start denying people (like me) adequate pain management, and they ended up seeking out other means to manage their pain. Non-legal means that killed them.
Me talking about being given fentanyl in a medical setting in an OR should NOT have resulted in as many people as it did, telling me I’m a bad person for “using drugs.” (I kept scrolling and found even more, just like wtf)
And also, people who misuse substances are not bad people. They’re sick. Usually in immense amounts of pain, be it physical or mental, and they deserve compassion and help.
Do not believe copaganda. Do not send people these kinds of weird moralizing messages about their healthcare because you’ve swallowed the copaganda. Use your heads.
introjects aren’t literally blorbo from your show and expecting them to act exactly the same as blorbo is weird
u cant just demand someone else fronts it’s rude and weird. also talking to a system isn’t really a choose your own adventure type of thing
no there isn’t an “evil alter”
persecutor alters do exist and are common but they arent evil alters and should be treated with the same respect youd treat anyone else
some systems have like 2 or 3 members and others have hundreds. its generally not ur business why a system has the amount of alters they do
u arent entitled to know whos fronting 24/7. a lot of systems dont even always know whos fronting let alone want to share
switching is often not obvious or dramatic at all. it can be but generally it’s not.though it does depend if someone has a more overt or covert presentation
did isnt actually that rare. around 1.5% of people are diagnosed with did and it goes undiagnosed a lot. and 1.5% is around the same amount of people who have red hair or ocd or green eyes
you have absolutely no way of knowing if someone is “faking” or lying about being a system. “what about-” nope not even if they do that. almost everything that people claim make it obvious someones lying (nonhuman alters, bigger systems, overt presentation etc) are just… ways that systems exist. ur not in their head, u dont get to decide what theyre experiencing
I had a dream that the new assigned gender was called “dfab” and it stood for “Defied Fate At Birth” and I have no idea what that entails but it was a like a whole thing
