How It Started

About "Me"

We are the Wasteland System, but all of us will also respond to Salem. Friends can use our IRL name. We are collectively a 29-year-old gay man and use he/it pronouns. We are a multimedia artist with an MS in Linguistics.

This is a space for us to make sense of ourself. It hosts our sketch diary and long-form blog posts. We also have side accounts on BlueSky and Tumblr.

Ground Rules

  • We are currently receiving treatment for Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). This blog / comic explores our DID in a creative way as an extension of our therapy work. We also have other mental illnesses and neurodivergencies.

  • 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.

Resources

Approachable education on complex dissociative disorders:

  • DID-Research.org — comprehensive website which gives an overview of the condition and many of its aspects; includes academic sources on most pages.

  • CTAD Clinic — Youtube channel run by a psychologist who specializes in CDDs. Very approachable and good for learning about specific topics.

  • Coping with Trauma-Related Dissociation (2011) by Suzette Boon, Kathy Steele, and Onno van der Hart — book covering CDDs and coping skills for people with them.
