Headspace Maintenance (Reanna)

mint_phalanxWe do this thing called "headspace maintenance." It involves mock therapy, simulated treatments, and assessments. The Guildford Press used to have reproducible materials for people to download without an account. (That's how we did Brian's mock DBT.)
Now, to get them, I'd need to make an account. It makes me feel like I'm stealing. But it's not stealing; they're PDFs. I (learn to) use them to help my headmates. Maintaining the headspace reduces chaos that worsens our ADHD.
Recently, F.M. fused with Nightingale, a personification of my worry for Mike (which used to be part of F.M. until he differentiated from it.) To prevent an internal crisis, he wanted to do mock therapy. We're doing online classes soon, and he doesn't want anything to hurt our follow-through.
I should make an account. It's my duty as the originator to help my headmates. My tulpas, when they were characters, developed mental illnesses despite it never being my intention. (And when it is my intention, it changes on me.) F.M. is afraid of becoming suicidal since he fused with Nightingale.
Singlets might think it's ridiculous because "it's not the real world." But my headmates spend most of their time in the headspace. It needs maintenance to help keep our ADHD in check. It needs maintenance to improve their internal lives.
Note (F.M.): Don't worry, Reanna's armchair psychiatry is restricted to the headspace.
