Otherkin Other sections

****************Slight trigger warning*****************************

Recently I was told about 3 'new' sections........the house of the guardians filled with greek looking angels...another is filled with aliens and shapeshifters.The other horendous horror figures. I've had the pleasure of meeting an admin from the horror section (what I like to call it) it's cool but I don't like the fact that the walls between the places are so powerful only admins and admin trainees can pass through.But many of the figures are dangerous and live by diffrent laws. but I really want to break down the walls and turn us all into one society.The admin of the horror section nickname 'Hades' said that it's nearly ready to happen with the otherkin he cares for.... but how would you proceed I don't want this screwed up this I guess form of 'intergration' since I don't have a T til January still undiagnosed.

It's not integration, it's increased awareness of each other and sharing the same area/space.

It's probably safest and in your best interest to wait until you have a therapist before you proceed with this. See if you can persuade the others to agree to wait as well. Even undiagnosed, making sure you have a professional who can at least help you cope with things such as these changes is important. You don't want to risk being overwhelmed or something with the changes and have no professional help to turn to.

Is this therapist familiar with dissociative disorders, do you know? Because if you don't, I would wait a bit longer to find out if they are familiar with them. Because if this therapist ends up being unable to help you or isn't a good fit for you, it'd be better to know that before you do anything with any type of risk.

If possible, the best thing to do would probably be to wait until you're either with a therapist who's familiar with DID, or have been officially diagnosed before doing anything.
However, I know that systems can't always wait for things to align in the outside world, so here's what I would do if I were you:
-- Find out if it's possible to wait until you both have a therapist and know that they're familiar with dissociative disorders.
-- If it's not possible to wait, find out why. Then start talking about plans with all admins if possible.
-- If this is going to happen and cannot be avoided:
Communicate with as many parts, admins or otherwise, as possible. Find out all you can on what others have planned, what's going to happen, how this is going to work, the changes that will take place, set up some rules and guidelines if you haven't already, all that good stuff. Prepare yourself and as many others as possible for the upcoming changes. Know as much as you can about everything that will change, how it will change, and all possible situations that could happen regarding the change. Set up emergency plans, safety plans, etc. Prepare things that help you to feel better, help you feel safe, etc., such as blankets, stuffed animals, happy music, stuff like that for if/when you need them. Get lots of rest before the changes start (be sure to go to bed at a reasonable time, take naps if needed, stuff like that). Perhaps write out something to be left out in case an alter comes out who doesn't know about the DID or doesn't know what to do in terms of routine or something. Prepare yourself and others in every possible way for every possible thing the best you can.


Best of luck with this, I hope it goes well.

The process has already started and everything has been done correctly beside for the housing of the figures and afew aren't quite ready for are society. but are getting taken care it's been a horrifying delight but we are all getting used to bloody and these dangerous looking beings but learning where they are from how they developed they are just like us.Unfortunately it has caused a bit of weariness for the whole system and has struck a bit of fear but that's all being taken care off.
treatys rule regulations and all admin and admin trainees have been dragged out couselling all that stuffsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss......Very few hiccups but the guardians aren't happy they don't like the thought of the mixing of us all eventually. Hades has been a delight in keeping the host calm and somewhat updated through all of this.My gosh it's exhausting I'm not even a Admin trainee and I've had to introduce the very few littles to them which was so frightening for them but they spent some time with there little and now have an understanding.

THEY ARE ALL SCARY.....but polite?

The T I believe has knowledge of DID soooooo yeah but were really going there for are depression and suicidial tendencies (sshhhhh but I think the host has bi-polar). if DID come into then yeah thats all cool love chaz

Glad it's gone rather well so far. It's cool that you guys are helping each other out so much. Hope it continues to go well.

first off i apologise if anyone is unhappy that i am reviving an old topic. also, i don't mean any disrespect by questioning these systems; on the contrary-- i am genuinely interested, but confused, and curious about how they work. how do you differentiate between creativity and vivid imagination, and a dissociative world?

one reason i ask is because i experience an incomprehesibly vast system of worlds and creatures, inextricably linked; it goes beyond obsession, they are overwhelming and intrusive and i have often been lost amongst powerful visions of them and related hallucinations. i have however attributed it to my diagnosis of schizophrenia, though often question the veracity of that diagnosis vs the possibility that they are somehow real, which of course is more likely to be a delusional line of thought, but they are very intense and bigger than i could ever begin to describe. their enormity is beyond words; despite that i continually attempt to write them into a novel.

honestly, i do find it difficult to accept that the mind has fragmented into a system like this. can you explain it more?

I would do whatever feels right for you, to help yourself out, but I'd hold off on delving too deep until you have a therapist. The details and visuals seem more symptomatic of psychosis, rather than dissociation. Psychosis is very treatable though.

well i'm inclined to agree with you; i feel this kind of inner world / otherkin / alternative universe experience is indicative of a psychotic experience and not dissociative. it really isn't my intention to offend those who believe and feel otherwise, but this is why i would like to hear more about it from those experiencing something similar, and if they can delineate a marked difference between psychosis and dissociative inner worlds.

edit; as a note, i have had these kinds of experiences with alternative universes ad infinitum for a very long time, they are part of the reason i was diagnosed with schizophrenia. i was in treatment for over a decade and it had no impact on these visions and journeys. my experiences with dissociative identity states have been very different; while i bear in mind that they could also be a psychotic delusion, the way they affect me and interact has been nothing like the schizophrenic states.

Hi skin I have a few other threads on my experiences with other sections if you wish to have a look. No offence was taken.

On the contrary a large inner world is not indicative of psychosis at all, merely another common aspect of dissociation/did. Someone with DID will know that this is an "inner world" and not a part of the physical reality we experience on the outside. There is nothing psychotic about it. Someone with DID maintains reality testing, a key component lacking in psychosis.

Spanky: I'm glad you're getting to know all part of your system Nothing is healthier than that.

thanks, i'll have a look. i am not sure if the inner world stuff for me is psychotic or indicative of dissociation. i have always maintained reality testing in as much as i have wanted to believe that what i experience is real and that it exists in reality on some other level, and i have experienced very vividly these places and the people within them... they are on such a massive level that it's hard to believe they only exist within myself, but i have always tried to question what is happening for fear of being unable to rationalise which precurses insanity, and i must remain objective.
