This comic is written and drawn by one of our headmates, Jack, whom is very anti-social and nonverbal. Wanted to share his comic (got permission) because he heard our friends excitedly love his comics and thought some people would love to see them too. If y’all got any comments we’ll pass it along to him! :> -Basil/Olive

What the heck is a head mate?
Here’s a site that explains things: https://plurality-hub.carrd.co/
TLDR we have DID. Our mental consciousness splits due to trauma (it’s a traumatic response system) and those different consciousness are often considered as alters or headmates (we refer to the latter.) People with DID are called systems, many systems don’t come out saying or publicly mention due to stigmas, however we don’t give a shit/others won’t know till they hear it from the source.
FAQ: is this real?- Yes, sadly due to it being not too common it’s not well studied. Who are you?- I’m Basil, one of many 👋 Do you share memories?- only if we want to/not all of us are able to.
In response to the reply from OP:
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is controversial due to its complex nature, including debates over its validity, its relationship with trauma, and its diagnostic difficulties. Critics question if DID is a genuine disorder or a result of iatrogenesis (therapist-induced symptoms), while others argue it is a product of social contagion and media influence, rather than a direct trauma response. Its controversial status is further fueled by inaccurate media portrayals that sensationalize the condition and the difficulty in distinguishing it from other mental health issues.
Core controversies
Iatrogenesis and suggestion: Some experts argue that symptoms of DID are created or worsened through suggestive questioning or other therapeutic techniques, especially in highly hypnotizable or suggestible patients. They claim that the prevalence of the disorder can be a result of social influence and therapist suggestion, a concept known as the sociogenic model.
Trauma model vs. sociogenic model: The debate also centers on the underlying cause. The trauma model views DID as a psychological response to severe childhood trauma, where dissociation is a coping mechanism. The sociogenic model, however, sees it as a form of learned behavior influenced by cultural beliefs and media, rather than a direct response to trauma.
Diagnostic challenges: DID shares overlapping symptoms with other disorders, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD), making accurate diagnosis difficult and sometimes leading to misdiagnosis.
Media influence: Dramatic and often inaccurate media portrayals have sensationalized DID, depicting individuals with the disorder as violent or monstrous. This can lead to increased stigmatization, fear, and underdiagnosis, as well as make people with DID hesitant to seek help for fear of judgment.
That’s a nice “AI” summary. Yet it’s factually wrong for the most part. DID does exist, it’s real, it can even be proven physically nowadays. This therapy-induced argument is just silly. You can’t “create” a DID on a healthy adult person. And it is only “created” in young kids enduring exceptionally hard trauma.
What was correct is “hard to diagnose”. But not because the said reasons but simply because “it” doesn’t want to be detected. It’s a highly evolved and clever survival-mechanism. The whole “idea” of it is to make the physical entity survive by all means. Situations so unimaginably unbearable that the mind just…splits, so another part can still function. Also the persons with DID often don’t even know they have it, or have a hard time to accept it. And a harder time to accept it system-wide. Maybe this is where the silly “therapy-induced” comes from. Before a diagnosis they just “function”. Outsiders rarely notice anything, even therapists.
Also, kid rapists (pedos) often knowingly induce a split to their advantage. There is enough evidence to support this, but it’s even accessible to the public. E.g. the leak of the major pedo-forum.
Just because something is so hard to imagine and the evil that’s necessary to create it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It is sad to the core that it HAS to exist, but good that it does. It’s easier to swipe it away with the therapy-induced argument than to face the demons that put it into this world.
Anyhow. I just couldn’t let that stand. But I also don’t wanna discuss it. Just leave you a friendly advice to reevaluate your position. If it is yours and not just copy-pasta from AI. I’m a mono BTW.
o7 thankies! yeah looked at that AI reply and was like bruh wtf? lmao
I’m not going to argue with you.
