Just a reminder that I have a blog where you can ask Cal/myself questions.
Or if you like cursed Lil Cal photos feel free to follow it aye
Social isolation can be traumatic.
Neglect can be traumatic.
Not having friends can be traumatic.
Being alone all the time can be traumatic.
Bullying can be traumatic.
Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise.
Your struggles are valid and you deserve to be seen.

Dear [Alter]
Dear Caretakers, it’s okay to worry that you’re not doing enough. You are.
Dear Fictives/Factives, it’s okay not to identify with your source. It’s okay to identify with your source. Remember that you are your own person and that’s all that matters.
Dear Gatekeepers, take a breath. I know that it’s hard. It’s going to be alright. We couldn’t do this without you.
Dear Littles, you’re lovely. Keep it up buddy, remember that you’re amazing.
Dear Persecutors, you are not evil. You are not a ‘bad alter.’ You are just as important as everyone else.
Dear Protectors, it’s okay to take a break. You are going to make mistakes, and that’s okay. You’re doing your best and that’s perfect.
Dear Self Destructive Alters/Trauma Holders, it’s not your fault. It is not your fault. You don’t deserve any hate, you don’t deserve any of those awful things. You’re deserving of the world and one day, some day, you will get it.
Dear Alter, you’re going to make it.
hey, you. the person with DID/OSDD reading this post. i have a secret to tell you.
it was bad enough. it was bad enough. and I’m so sorry that you had to go through something like that. even if others have it worse, you still deserve better than you got. it was bad enough.

Reminders for Systems (DID/OSDD)
- you don’t have to know everything about your system
- alters having similarities does not mean you are faking
- recovery and healing takes time and it is not a linear path
- it is okay to be scared, anxious, stressed, angry, etc.
- alters who identify with a system role, you are more than *just* your role
be careful rotating characters in your head or they may get stuck there and gain sentience
