Don't worry, I got it. If it helps I have the Sam Atabook set to show immediately, pretty sure, unless it's under a VPN.

Mostly the Sam one since it's me fronting nowadays but either's fine, I'll still see it. To answer your actual question, it's sort of just a guess. I never know for sure. In my personal situation, a lot of my parts err towards being mixed parts cause there wasn't a lot of room for my brain to be able to truly embody an ANP and be able to keep them completely out of the grisly bullshit. Those that are ANPs are kinda clueless and tend to only have one set function/a function that encompasses one area. Like schooling, talking to authority figures, handling phone calls etc. Basically, if the part can function in day to day life to a somewhat normal degree while also being more elaborate in function and identity, they're probably a mixed part. EPs for me personally tend to be more often stuck in one mindset/memory, same as the ANPs but opposite, so they'll "permanently" be a certain way and have certain responses that are usually too much when I'm outside of a traumatizing environment and/or situation. They might be permanently young or old, wired to fight, or will deal with certain people or types of traumatic situations. It's mostly personal intuition & therapeutic work that enabled me/my system to be able to try to discern (even if mistaken) what 'function' on that level a part might have. It's not a hard and fast rule, either: sort of just "well since I know this part (or, if that's part's the one figuring it out themselves, "I" [there was an emoji here what the hell. I didn't wink at you. Stupid ass markdown]) do this, I'll say I'm this for the convenience of everybody else and categorization. TL;DR: Mixed parts - More elaborate function and identity; capable of handling day to day life but still are kinda victims to flashbacks and the like, which makes productivity slower. ANP - Handles specific day to day situations, usually not too elaborate, kind of empty. More fragmented and are usually in a subsystem. EP - Handles traumatic situations and flare-ups, more obviously symptomatic than MPs, cannot function on a day to day basis, often aren't around for long or are managed by a mixed part. Only really front when triggered, for the most part. Hope that made sense and helped? I dunno. It's super subjective, I feel like, and I've been in therapy for DID specifically for almost a decade, so it's probably a little easier for me to be able to try and figure stuff out than it might be for others.

Thanks! One day I'll finish it. Maybe.

Okay that's great man

You're all good, don't worry. I don't mind if people ask. I'm not willing to sell / trade it or any of my SPN URLs, though, sorry. Take care, and thanks for the song. Voltaire always has bangers.

You'd think that they'd roll out a blunt to stick with the theme. I think if you don't say Autobots roll out the blunt they execute you too and everything. Fucked up

No you called me a chud you big meanie pants jerkface. We're over. Take your Draingang and get out. Leave the dog and the cats and the car I paid for it all anyway

This is going to get a little rant-y, apologies. I'm opinionated. Personally, I won't be using anything. I'm more than glad to be forcibly freed from the chains of compulsive rumination in regards to my dissociative disorder. It never really did me any good; it only worsened my amnestic barriers and conversion symptoms. The way my disorder works in me specifically makes logging pointless at best and pathological at worse. I wasn't really meant to know these things, and I'm not far enough in my recovery to gain any sort of knowledge, healing or integration from anything SP and its off-shoots had to offer. All it does is torment me. Before SP, I used Google Docs to keep track of things (as best I could, which was barely at all) but that was only because my psychologist that I was seeing at the time had me system mapping. I'd recommend Docs and journalling. The "easy way" that SP-esque sites offer really tend not to help, and they tend to make you focus more on the appearance of profiles (and the 'alter' side of the disorder, rather than the actually debilitating parts of the disorder that stem from the things you probably don't want to touch with a 10ft pole, like underlying emotions stemming from traumatic experiences and so on) rather than any beneficial information due to the semi-public nature of them. It also makes the actual information that you keep more purposeful and pointed when you tear away all of the fluff. It's best not to have the option to add anybody at all when it comes to things like these because sharing the information becomes purposeful and thought-out. I'm not sure about you in specific, but in CDD spaces there is this almost pressure to share everything about your system. Best not to engage with it at all and only share it with people that will need to know (partners, people you live with and trust, etc.) When I truly think about it, the aesthetics and concepts and the like didn't help me much at all. They were all just fluff that served little purpose. My parts know what they enjoy and what they don't, but if you're using it for identification purposes, then... well, sure. You can make Pinterest boards, Tumblr tags/sideblogs, etc — that's what my lot tend to do. Hell, even Discord channels in a private server can store these sorts of things. Take note of how you formatted your SP custom inputs (or whatever they're called. I cannot be bothered checking) and then format that elsewhere, either similarly or not. It's up to you. I digress. If you'd like to keep using the SP breed of apps, just do what you usually do. I have no advice there because I won't be using them myself, so I don't know whether or not they'll be similar to SP. If you want to transition to more private mapping, then Docs, hardback journals, notes app, Excel and such are better and more customisable by the user.

I love you SpongeBob SquarePants 🧽

People don't even say "hello," "enjoying the weather?" or "how are you" anymore. They just look you in your proverbial eyes and say "Chud shi" and then walk off

I don't even EAT old people slop, you hellion. Also, I'd enjoy the crunch. I have titanium teeth. Nothing you can do to me will hurt me. I'm wise beyond your years and there is so much zen inside of me. I'm practically Buddha himself, except I'd never leave my wife.

Yes, I do. I'm the original owner of Anakin, Kylo and KyloRen (so I didn't use the URL reclaiming system for them.) My subtle flex, eheh.

Ta! I appreciate the kind words. Also, that's 🆗. Nobody needs to know me. I actually prefer when people don't. Have an EXCELLENT day! 🧙‍♂️

Wandering around in the fog of Silent Hill again I see

Hello my friend! Long time no see... where oh where in the nine hells hath thou been, loca?
