posting a link to our website as a pinned post so that i don't have to rewrite system introductions whenever we decide to update things, lol: https://crystalcaveechoes.nfshost.com/who/
okay, i hope we did this right - the page is live! don't spam me with too much orders, i have to figure out how this works o_O https://www.etsy.com/listing/1124220580/plural-pride-enamel-pin
we have officially let the cat out of the bag, @QuietMisdreavus is our singletsona https://micro.quietmisdreavus.net/self/2021/10/26/still-thinking-still-learning/
medicine, mental health
oddly enough, it doesn't seem to have this kind of effect if i take it just before bed, so that might have to be the play if i want to see what this has in store
request for information, medicine
my partner is curious to hear if any other systems have tried low-dose naltrexone for stuff like dissociation or getting in touch with headmates or whatever else. i just started on it myself and they were hoping to find more stories from people to hear how it went
they've been doing all the research for this particular experiment so far, so i think they just want to find moar data 😅
ableism with chronic pain
one thing i dont see in disability discussions often is how sometimes its hard to get a diagnosis of what you have causing you pain. like you literally cant afford additional testing. even with insurance, invasive tests can get RIDICULOUSLY expensive. hell at my HRT clinic alone they have a sign that says they can bill you additionally if you so much as DISCUSS a health concern unrelated to your visit.
i mean its fuuucked but i just wish people would stop acting surprised when i tell them, as im laying for several hours a day on the couch or in bed in pain, that i dont know what i have. even as its progressively getting worse. plus, working a 40 hour/week job you may not even have TIME to schedule an appointment for diagnosis, or further testing. our current system is fucked beyond belief and no its not an exaggeration.
in accommodating for disability, this cannot be dependent on a diagnosis. disability accommodations are accommodations for all, regardless of medical status.

this line hits way different now, lol
is it significant for one's headspace to constantly be in flux? i feel like things keep shifting around all the time, and certain scenes or settings only come back either as a memory or because i'm willing it into existence
combined with a much more muted sensory perception of headspace, it's really difficult to tell what's going on :/
alternate version: "mistien", after the Final Fantasy concept (specifically FF12) of "mist", ambient magical energy that may react to stimuli when it is concentrated enough
members are largely diffused in the Mist, but occasionally coalesce in response to goings-on
potential term coinage - blobtien
systems whose members are largely undifferentiated much of the time, but who may crop up periodically when certain needs arise.
named after the sense that the system is like an amorphous "blob" where members occasionally pop up out of the blob and then disappear after a while
these pronouns are experimental, and could be changed at any time. please use caution and update your pronoun data sets often to avoid compatibility issues
still thinking, still learning, still trying to understand
fledgling questioning system calling herself Echo who is gradually mapping out her headspace's denizens.
we tend to do a lot of self-analysis in followers-only posts, where we revise what we can figure out about our experience and attempt to put things together. follow requests are generally okay from other systems, or from people we know/trust already. don't take it personally if your request is rejected.
