We manage comorbidities, hidden disabilities, and chronic illnesses on a constant basis, so patience is appreciated if there are any memory lapses or "space-outs" during gaming.
๐ข We have frequent dissociative switches due to being a part of a dissociative system, which means you may experience socializing with us as though with several different people on the same account. We are not--just one body, with differing and sometimes contrasting ingredients. This is normal for us, and just how our brain works. If you'd like to know more about this aspect of us, we'll answer what we are comfortable with. If not, that's okay too, but we don't typically bring it up unless the subject is broached.

Inclusivity and Acceptance
We emphasize the importance of embracing diversity in all its forms, including but not limited to sexual orientation, gender identity, race, and cultural background.
We also acknowledge and celebrate the uniqueness of each individual within our system, respecting and valuing the diversity that contributes to our collective experience.
Holistic Well-Being
We are making an effort to prioritize mental health, recognizing its intricate connection on a holistic level through somatic and emotional well-being. We are collectively very big mental health advocates, and encourage open discussions about mental health, hoping to foster an environment of support and understanding in every platform we are a part of.
Safe Spaces for Mental Health
We have established a designated safe space where open discussions about mental health can occur without judgment on our gaming server. We believe that seeking support is a strength, and actively discourage any formation of stigma surrounding mental health conditions, disabilities and illnesses. We encourage a culture of empathy and support during both routine and challenging times.
Stance on Personal Understanding
We want to impress upon everyone the need for understanding others' as well as one's own overt as well as hidden conditions, disabilities, and disorders.
Compassionate Awareness
We emphasize the importance of trying to approach everyone with compassion and understanding, recognizing that everyone may be dealing with unseen challenges. We want to foster an environment where disclosure is a respected endeavor but not mandatory.
Acknowledgment of Our Own Struggles
We acknowledge our limitations and that we frequently experience the C/PTSD F's on a daily, triggerable basis (fight, flight, freeze, fawn), making even the most simple, basic communications challenging. We request patience and understanding from those that interact with us on any basis, and to please recognize that different fronting alters may have varying levels of comfort or styles with those that we associate with. Please understand that the person you are talking to right this second may not know you as you knew them a second ago, and they are just Doing Their Bestโข๏ธ.
