About this community

This is a community for those who are never alone. Whether you have DID, OSDD, tulpas, soulbonds, are part of the plurality umbrella, or know that you are never alone, you are more than welcome here! We also encourage those who are curious about plurality and want to learn more about it, as well as those who are still questioning.

What is plural?

TLDR for community rules

  1. Follow lemm.ee general rules: no abusive language, no bigotry, no advertising, no pornography.
  2. All plural identities are valid; do not dispute the validity of anyone.
  3. Don't pressure questioning people; let people decide whether they're plural or not.
  4. We are not therapist or professionals; this community is not a substitute for professional help.
  5. Be mindful of what you post here; put trigger warning in the post title for negative and/or triggering contents.
  6. All rules apply regardless of who is using an account; as with real life, you are responsible for what your other selves may do.
  7. Do not insist anyone to stop using a term they prefer to refer to themselves.

For us at least, it just happened naturally. I often talked to myself and felt as though there was definitely more than one of us, until one day our friend told us that we might be plural and we realized that we could really relate with the plural experience.

So, how did you figured it out?

We used to talk to ourselves, we thought it was a game, we were sad when we broke by asking, "who are you?" And the answer was, "you "

But one day we started smiling and saying, "I'm you! And we can go on adventures together!" And then we would journal about it to prove that i really did get along with myself.

Sadly this only happened when we were out of depression, which wasn't very often.

We figured it out when we had words to put to experiences we had when the body was small.

We have been plural since then (when the body was small), most likely not from trauma only or at all, though some of us have been created due to trauma since then. The members have changed over the years though.
