Stressed host
Hi. I'm the host of our system. I understand all systems are different. But I'm looking for tips/help/advice/ anyone really who has gone through this. When we first got diagnosed, we learned to communicate. Over time things became fluent. Everyone did their jobs. But lately? The protectors don't protect. In fact they don't really front at all. The caretakers don't do their job. My co-hosts suck and barley front. Littles rarely front anymore. A few persecutors front and that's about it. I feel really shitty and a little jealous that my friend who's also a system and my partner; both have functional systems.
I don't even fully think my alters not fronting is on purpose either. I think somehow communication got bad again because it's hard for my co-hosts to even front. When they aren't here- lately its felt like everyone is...asleep? Its new and weird. Never happened before. I'm going inpatient and can't help but feel sad that in most systems i know, the alters all work together with the common goal of protecting the host. Then there's me. It feels like i have two good people in this system. Even so- it feels like I'm stuck protecting myself. I don't know why this happened..but it makes me sad.
