 i don't think we've got a readily accessible headspace. i think the one we do have cant be reached except by lucid dreams, and i think the closest we've got to a waking headspace is a couple of little rooms we all hang around in. One's the "Front" room, and that's just where we hang out normally. then there's a "Lockdown" room where everyone gets thrown if someone decides theyre gonna front alone for a while. Then there's the Back, and that's where we go otherwise, and that's not readily accessible. we just go away - probably to that goddamn headcity we can't see when we're awake.

for the millionth time: we've gotta start meditating again. this shit's not gonna come around on its own.

our headspace seems a lot like yours in that way. if we're not in the front, or in "hearing distance" then we are in like stasis in the Way Back. i hope the meditation helps you figure stuff out though! we should probably do that too more if not for headspace then just generally. - arvus

Yeah, meditation helps things in general. Soothing and all. But yeah, it seems like this kinda structure isn't that unusual, its just not what you usually hear I guess? idk

yeah, i haven't heard TOO many people talk about having systems set up like that, but it may just be a circumstantial thing.

shit, replied thinking it was one thread when it was another. sorry, haha. but yeah, it's probably just circumstantial, like you said.

it's ok, it happens haha. i do think there might be some amount of ~stigma involved maybe, that people feel pressured to either to say they have a fully fleshed out headspace thing, or not at all, but i'm not sure. and that kind of peer pressure isn't really all that unfamiliar to the plural community at large unfortunately. :c - arvus/sollux

thats true. theres a lot of pressure to Fit The Diagnosis in general, which is at least partially perpetuated by the psych industry (even though the psychs themselves still arent sure what exactly the deal is with plurality).
