- This [user/system/plural/alter/headmate] has an ESSA.
- This user loves their ESSA.
An ESSA is an Emotional Support Stuffed Animal. An ESSA is meant to help their handler in some way. This may be simply as a comfort object, but there is often more to it. They may help a person with grounding to mitigate anxiety and dissociation, they may help with sensory processing issues in handlers with autism and ADHD, they may serve as motivators, or any of a wide range of other uses.
Handlers may choose to have an ESSA instead of a live Emotional Support Animal or Service Animal due to factors such as cost, ability to train such an animal, or allergies. They may also have an ESA, but do not bring them out in public. Our system has two ESAs - a bonded pair of cats - but while they do a great deal to mitigate some of our issues resulting from depression, they are not suited for work as psychiatric service animals. We therefore have an ESSA as well. We need to make it home because our cats love us and depend on us, but our ESSA will help keep us from dissociating before we get there.
The flag base used is by @thecouncilofidiots. Our system colored it, and we admittedly shuffled up the meanings of the stripes a bit. Per the Council’s flag coining post, the outer stripes are for protection, the small stripes are for safety, the middle stripe is for comfort, and the oval in the circle is for plushies and stuffed animals. In our colored version, light blue is for serenity and security, dark green is for grounding and calm, gold is for autism, deep red is for ADHD, purple is for disabilities more broadly and especially physical disabilities, and white is for regression.
[To the Council, sorry for the ping, hopefully that’s alright!]

- This [user/system/plural] has hEDS.
- This [user/system/plural] has hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) is a heritable connective tissue disorder that causes generalized joint hypermobility, joint instability, and chronic pain. hEDS is also associated with a variety of other symptoms and related conditions that affect many different areas of the body.
hEDS is the most common type of EDS, accounting for about 90% of EDS cases. hEDS is currently classified as a rare disorder and is thought to affect at least 1 in 3,100–5,000 people. However, the true prevalence of hEDS is not known and may be underestimated.
Definition, from The Ehlers-Danlos Society, and more information about the condition can be found here. The border of these boxes is purple, the awareness color for chronic pain, and the square at the left side is zebra print, which is the awareness “color” for EDS, to symbolize the uniqueness of each case.

ALTMy apologies to y'all for being so inconsistent. I mean, I know that’s kind of a hallmark of both DID and ADHD, but still. This box is personal, and it’s part of the shitstorm we’ve been trying to deal with lately. And I want to talk about that a little.
We were diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 20 years ago at the age of 18, after a 4 year slog of a diagnostic process. It was awful and the alter who split to deal with it is still quite active. It was so extensive and overwhelming that by my mid teens I (because I did not know about the system yet) was fully convinced I would not live to see 30. Which will fuck you up. A lot.
After 4 years of that, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. We fit the diagnostic criteria at the time, but the diagnostic criteria were vague. It was a diagnosis of exclusion and they had no idea what caused it. A lot of doctors didn’t even believe it was a real thing. Being constantly told your pain isn’t real and it’s all in your head will also fuck you up. We responded by keeping up with medical journals. We would print off the latest articles about fibro and take them with us to appointments in case the person we were seeing tried to tell us fibromyalgia wasn’t real. It was a way of saying “take the peer-reviewed words of your equals and shove it,” basically.
Over the next two decades, our fibromyalgia diagnosis kinda faded into the general background noise of our life. There was the occasional “maybe it’s lupus” (cue House M.D., “It’s not lupus!”), but outside of that… we found a medication regimen that worked well enough, I got my head around living with it, and life went on.
A few months ago, we saw a new rheumatologist, at the insistence of our immunologist. She didn’t feel our symptoms fit the current diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia and ran us through a whole evaluation before sending us down to the lab so they could try to draw seemingly ALL of our blood. I don’t think I’ve ever had so much blood drawn at once in my life.
A couple months ago, we had a follow up to go over the results of all that and we were rediagnosed with hEDS. Which was probably more devastating to us than it should have been. It’s not like our symptoms changed. And honestly, hEDS explains a fair few things fibromyalgia didn’t. I understand the change. It was just that we had had the fibromyalgia diagnosis for literally half our life and we had long ago made peace with it. We had coached two close friends through dealing with the immediate aftermath of their own fibro diagnoses. We were even hopeful about it, because they now have a solid working theory about what causes it and it had been probably a decade since we’d been told by a doctor that fibromyalgia wasn’t real. And now we’re having to start from scratch in terms of what we know about our diagnosis.
So it’s been kind of a lot. We thank everybody for being patient with us.

(ID 1-3: A purple userbox with an image of someone crying on the floor on the left. The text on the right says “This [user/system/alter] is tired of explaining that, no, they’re not "source dating”, even though they’re dating someone from their source"“
(ID 4: A purple userbox with an image of someone crying on the floor on the left. The text on the right says "DATING A FICTIVE OF YOUR CANON PARTNER IN YOUR PARTNER SYSTEM DOESN’T MAKE YOU EVIL” and then a bunch of A’s/screaming that falls off the screen)
Guess what I’m thinking about -🧢

Blog Update!
Since it’s likely that I’ll be disappearing from front at some point and probably for a while I’ve decided that when I’m not in front I’ll allow specific alters from our system to manage this blog and any userbox requests that it receives.
I will reveal who said alters are when I have decided who I want to manage it and I won’t make their intros for them so they will likely make their own intros in their own time on this blog. I’ve chosen a few alters to help manage this blog so far but I haven’t finished deciding them all.
