DID and Tulpa's

Is it okay to create tulpa's although you already have alters? I don't know why but my mind keeps convincing me it shouldn't be right.

would you be kind enough to add your definition of tulpas for all those who havent heard of that before? and how you would create them. and why you would want them.

Oh, yes, sorry, I would right now but my head is banging, it hurts a lot.

There are old threads about tulpas here. Do a web search for tulpa site:https://www.psychforums.com/dissociative-identity/

It is a fun community to banter about, too not be so down about the topics of mental health. I think of sororities etc

would wonder...

would your tulpas reside in a similar headspace as mults? (if you have mults... idk if it might or might not be a thing for them to interact with tulpas; or if they'd occupy opposing parts of your headspace/s.

it seems dangerous, and i cannot really pinpoint just why; not sure. in my own system, i have a pretty fine line as-to-what is balanced/stable; introjects can throw us off kilter and cause us depressive episodes or feelings of confusion, as can appearances of some known but rarely-appearing alters (though communication has helped a Lot in avoiding hiccups in our outward demeanor/behavior when this happens, generally.)

if you are set on creating a tulpa, we think that it'd probably be easier to do for someone who already has mults, as opposed to a single-minded person. idk though; the disposable way that some treat their tulpas upsets some of us in this system, who do not want individuals in headspaces to be seen as tools or disposable workers who are cast aside or abandoned; have read about how people will basically 'delete' tulpas once they fulfill a specific purpose. this also turns us off in regards to Thelema, if you know about what are considered 'guardian angels' who live in peoples' headspaces and are assumed to only be there until they are not needed anymore; seems very scary to smoe of us again, as some of us have pretty deep/severe trauma-related abandonment issues. not something i would personally do, or any of us in this system, but we cannot say if it'd be good or bad for other-systemed/bodied people.

I would like the tulpae to be able to interact with the others, so I'd have them both reside in the same area of the headspace together as long as they want to; and I really don't want to create them for one reason and then delete them... It's unfair, I'd rather not play God with them either. I'd like to create one to just exist and be a companion and myself be a companion to them.

I'm practically a tulpa and I think tulpamancy is unethical reguardless of singularity or plurality. My "creator" made me (and many other people in our system) on accident, which is weird enough. When I think of the existential crises we've gone through, I cringe to think that people do this on purpose.

I could go on and on about how awful tulpamancy is, if it didn't make me unbarebly angry.

Hi. It's Imre. I don't like to admit it, but I'm a tulpa, too. We've writen quite a bit in our journal about tulpas and such. Our writings aren't as negative as Cullen would make you think, but it should give you a good idea of what it's like for tulpas and alters to co-exist: https://oyeswedid.livejournal.com/tag/tulpae

I don't think I would want to consciously create anybody else in here life is tricky enough as it is.
