How to bring up being multiple to sister? (Cw for minor mention of abuse)

We are in counseling for trauma management and have been working on deconstructing past abuse, becoming functional enough to attend school for the first time in months, and just a lot of stuff. Our therapist knows we're plural but has not discussed diagnosis due to more pressing issues (we recently escaped physical+sexual abuse) but our symptoms definitely fall into disordered territory, even if we're still unsure on which specific CDD. I am planning on discussing this with my counselor and psychiatrist again (they know about it, they just aren't focused on that until we figure out immediate safety concerns)

I'm in an environment where my older sister is my main caregiver/guardian and I'm wanting to know how to bring it up to her. I ​know she'll be supportive since her ex best friend had DID, but i just dont know how to bring it up to her. Does anyone have advice on how to go about it? Do i just outright say "I'm plural, here are my known alters and what to avoid cuz it triggers them."

Please lmk if any of this is against the rules, I love this community and don't want to risk getting in trouble or doing harm

System exploration is an ass

We're a highly complex system, we have 2 main systems, several smaller mini systems, several nebulas and hundreds of fragments and underdeveloped alters. We've been using obsidian to track it, it's been great fiddling with a template I found but I've been so brainfoggy since starring to do more logging. Our structures and innerworld barely make sense since they're all just concepts and not live-in areas. Our layers and government is so difficult to discern as well, especially due to how much trauma we've stacked without any time to safely process the abuse. Our therapist has been working with us on seeking more specialized treatment and trying to work through the trauma but it's been so hard for us.

I'd like any alternative sites or apps that can be used for mapping innerworld locations. It doesn't have to be detailed, I'd prefer visual mapping but it's okay if it's just location logging instead.

Our devices are an android phone and a windows desktop so it doesn't need to be just mobile friendly stuff ^^

Feel free to ask for meanings if you don't know, or if you wanna know more about an identity on here

I've got a lot of issues, namely ocd, autism, agorphobia, and ptsd. I am incapable of forming meaningful relationships with peers. I struggle to understand others true intentions, I just want to be normal or understand others. I'm smart for my age, I have strong morals, capacity for empathy and emotional intelligence. Yet I'm just too tired and mentally damaged to live up to any of my potential. I wish I was born normal, to a normal family. I was abused my entire childhood, I've experienced most forms of abuse too. I won't go in depth with that, but to put it simply, it makes complete sense that I have all of the issues that I do. In fact, it's a surprise I haven't ended up worse.

My sister has given me hope that my only safe space can be remedied, that my room doesn't have to be a hoarder hellspace. That I'm allowed nice things and a nice environment. But until then, I guess I'm stuck trying to advocate for myself and my animals (they're fine and safe dw, I just don't want them to watch me rot my life away)
