Heyo! Welcome! So glad you stopped in.

We are collectively Sheepie. A System. That is, a person diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), or alternatively may identify as plural. Our goal with creating this blog is to compile information, resources, and personal experience relating to DID in one place. To give ourself an area to explore our healing journey with others; system or not. I know being diagnosed DID is not the “end all be all” to us. We are not our diagnosis. It is a label giving us language to find resources.

We are in a new epoch of growth.

We also want to keep at our craft of writing. At a point in time, years ago now, we would have considered our natural state of language “eloquent” to a degree. “Too wordy,” as our mother once said. Noisy if you ask me. Regardless, we do hope this will ultimately help us foster a healthy sense of curiosity towards ourself. And consistent documentation.

As time goes we hope to have posts around many topics of interests. Tech, books, projects, opinion pieces etc. Our latest preoccupation is that of polyfragmentantion or C-DID. That said, we will do our best to provide links to sources, definitions, and give credit where credit is due.

Now,

Who are we (In a nutshell)

Sheepie is comprised of: approximately 15 alters, a sub-system, many fragments, and possibly a tertiary system. Possibly as there is a third layer to us, but access is… tricky. This will require a separate post to explore. And potentially a separate page dedicated to the structure of ourself, as we know it; within the bounds we set for safety reasons. Of course the obligatory “subject to change” will apply to that, naturally.

What we do know solidly is we have been a System since we all can remember. It wasn’t until our early teens we really began to notice that our normal was abnormal. Diagnosis didn’t come until June of 2020. We struggled for some time after with acceptance, and still do, admittedly. After all it means what we’ve lived through is real. We are real.

Our life is worth living. Our story, as tumultuous and upsetting as it is at times, is worth telling.
