About "Me"

We are Wasteland System, an artist living with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). This blog / comic explores our DID and other mental health struggles in a creative way.

Most people online know us as Salem. Friends can use our IRL name.

We're made up of 10+ autonomous parts. Collectively we are an adult gay man and use he/it pronouns. See profiles page for specific parts' identities.

We also have side accounts on BlueSky and Tumblr.

Ground Rules

  • Warning for dissociationposting and potentially upsetting content — trauma, child abuse, extreme bullying, self harm, suicide attempts, eating disorders, sexual assault, and other mental health struggles may come up.

  • You may ask questions, but please do not give us unsolicited psychiatric or medical advice. We cannot do the same for you, either. We are just some guy.

  • Anything we post here is intended as an exploration of our own experience. Psychology is not our field of study and our projects should not be used as academic sources or therapeutic tools.

  • We're somewhat open and often joke around, but please don't get overfamiliar or make assumptions about me + my trauma + my "sources". We're unique parts of a unique person.

  • We do not use plural or multiple as an identity label (no shade, they just don't gel with us). We call ourself a system or a person with DID.

  • Our personal long-term goal is to increase integration and reduce overall headcount, so expect fusions and other system changes over time. Currently we are working on improving cooperation and communication.
