angels, demons, birds, dragons, lions, snakes, objects, fairies, genies, colorful plants, rooms, gods, devils, cats, dogs, bugs, these all make perfect sense for a brain developing DID to *need* to be if you think about the "why" for a second. a child's brain will turn into anything if it thinks it'll help. anything to protect itself, save itself, comfort itself, nourish itself, make itself feel a little bit a joy. we've got a cat alter than goes around the #headspace and sleeps on the littles' beds when they have #nightmares. #hellhounds that tell us Tessa is never far behind, and she'll protect us. we used to have dragons, because maybe we could ride them away from everything that hurt. #snakes, because they were the only thing Chaos could think of that brought her joy. #Dogs because our childhood dog would have done anything to keep us safe. an object that causes another alter constant pain, and the object is sentient and also in constant emotional pain from what it's built for. #angels from the #pedestals we were held on, and #demons from what our abusers promised we'd be. fallen angels from when the pedestal went away. gods because the one we #prayed to never helped us. a child's brain will do anything, ANYTHING to make the pain stop #alters #system #osdd1b #osdd #dissociativeidentitydisorder #DID #OSDDsystem #nonhumanalter #objectalter #chronicillness #tired #spoonie #zebra #hypermobile #hypermobileehlersdanlossyndrome #ehlersdanlos #ehlersdanlossyndrome #heds #hypermobility #malignanthypermobility #jointissues #jointpain #visceralpain #chronicpain #medicalsystem
