Coping with Dissociative Identity Disorder

Family, I understand but...

I understand about this and I'm not mad but a little warning and asking could have gone a long way...

We have two computers, one crashed about a week ago after I got it up and running again after Windows got corrupted. I took it to our families house Halloween night and asked our brother-in-law if he could take a look at it because he knows a little about computers. Yesterday he told me it was all set to go so we went and picked it up after work. Well we got there and he had the...

Alot of things, most of all I integrated. Unwillingly. *triggering

Hey there. I used to stop by sometimes, but my living situation was not good so I could not frequent the boards but as a ghost.
My partner and I both were living with DID. For 3 years we all somehow worked together. She'd had an operation, and split. Stopped talking to us. My main shut down. The other alters were trying to keep everything happy as we were living together. It was our third anniversary. We'd asked for some time to ourselves, and she broke that, and we ended up...

socialising?

feeds@yuku.com (ms chaos) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:03:27 GMT

I seriously don't get singtiple socialising - Is there a way to learn how to pass yourself? I joined a group for older people called the university of the 3rd age. Its a nice idea but I am already in trouble and hurt over quite small things, but mainly people misreading my intentions and giving me motives I dont have. My partner says there is an innocence in me that other people can't handle but how do you live with that?
It seems to me that there are very few places that I can...

Feely Dreams-May Trigger

feeds@yuku.com (Roxiesmama) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 08:47:32 GMT

I have these really strange "dreams" sometimes that I am wondering if anyone else has ever experienced and if you have can you explain??? When I was 21 years old I had my first "feely dream." I was sleeping on the couch at my parent's house. In the dream I had gone to talk to my Dad at this garage. I remember seeing oil stains on the cement ground. As I went to leave, the cement door came down. My right shoulder got caught between the door and the door frame and...

Inside The 4 Walls That Surround Me

feeds@yuku.com (The4Walls) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:35:48 GMT

Found myself in these lands, lands which have no name, the owner was named, yet not the lands. Lands that began with youth and innocence and ended with age and corruption.

Lands where the inocentr was little by little replaced with sin and temptation. Lands that we all have and lands of which none can escape. Lands that know what is wrong and what is right, but lands we ignore.
Lands that contain people we can only remember. Lands that contain memories of the evil we have...

noone listens

feeds@yuku.com (oxygen) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:58:44 GMT

I feel unwanted unloved unworthy
I feel no one cares
i am nothing
i am tired of reaching out
tired of trying to make sense
i don't feel heard
i don't feel supported

i hurt all over

MDD, multiple diagnosis disorder

feeds@yuku.com (JunieBee007) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:56:41 GMT

If these lables are like the letters of acedemic degrees for me, BPD, PTSD, DID. I did not sign on to be a wrangler of mental illnesses! I feel pissed today. I feel a bit overwhelmed by it all and it makes sense to me but it still feels like a bit much. I mean really.

If you have more than one diagnosis, how is that for you? I am curious and needing some guidance. I was diagnosed with DID in April, but I knew I had it 20 years ago. I had gone underground for all thoes years and...

feeds@yuku.com (frosty) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:14:46 GMT

ok I told you all that my friend let me meet a few other's. well she got drunk, and I made her promise me that she would not drink and take her meds at the same time, and she did promise, well then 2 days later guess what she was drinking again, when I confronted her on she said that I told her one or the other. I said you are right I did say one or the other, but you did both, she swears that she didn't' but she did not start drinking until after 5 p.m. so I know she took her...

The Boo Radly Mystique and Melting the Wicked Witch (no offense to good witches)

feeds@yuku.com (JunieBee007) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:35:06 GMT

When does your perception change and your understanding shift? What happens in conjunction with that? How are you transformed?`

Harper Lee was a gift from Goddess for me growing up and I love Boo Radly. Thoes little toys he left in the tree. Beautiful man. I really identified with him and I wished Aticus Finch was my dad. So I thought about that yesterday. I thought about it on my way to touch the door. Jem, Scouts older brother runs up to Boo's house and touches the door....

What we can learn from Slimes :)

feeds@yuku.com (Raistlin) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:25:29 GMT

<--------- This is a slime. They are little blobs that exist in a video game series called Dragon Quest. We can learn a lot from them too.

For starters slimes get mistaken for monsters in the game and as such they are always getting hit over the head by someone. In the end though slimes are still smiling. They are happy most of the time. They can take the bad stuff and still go on....

Different types of alters

feeds@yuku.com (The4Walls) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:36:50 GMT

Hi everybody, today I was checking out some tips o a really good web site about DID/MPD and the information I got about the alters is really good. There seems to be different types of alters and well after checking, I kind of think the page's right. Each one of us can be compared to one of these types.

Search for yours and comment if you think the document is right. If you want me to pass you the web page from where I got the information, I'll happily send it on a PM.

Our T's way of helping us :s

feeds@yuku.com (The4Walls) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:29:57 GMT

Well... Ok today we had a very long day, our T really confused us all. Today Freddy took us for the first time for a chat and to see if we really have DID (of which i'm pretty sure it is) and we waited a while. After an hour of waiting (No problem with that because we got there very early) we got to meet her. Freddy was speaking with her, they were both talking about why he thought he has DID. He didn't mention us, just the symptoms. Everything was going pretty well, like I said, and...

Can't believe it: money problems

feeds@yuku.com (edd586) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:56:24 GMT

With all the money problems we have and it being so essential to our health to have it, our car died. At least 3000 dollars. There goes our entire savings, with 17k or credit card debt and more going out then going in. That actually was 3000 dollars of borrowed money. I just don't know how to reduce the expenses any more.

Need advice on cat and dog

feeds@yuku.com (Raistlin) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:21:25 GMT

We have a cat and a dog. They get along OK but are jealous of each other. When one gets attention the other gets mad. The dog hasn't shown any aggression toward the cat but the cat has taken her paw and hit the dog. When the cat comes in the room the dog will often get as close to us as she can and beg for attention. If the cat comes up to us the dog will sniff at her until the cat gets annoyed and goes away. Then the cat starts meowing loudly. If the cat wants attention she will try to...

Littles and Love

feeds@yuku.com (wantstorun) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:58:12 GMT

As some of you folks know, I tecently disclosed to my SO the dx. He's been doing okay w/ it, reading all sorts of material but not being too intrusive on his questions. He asked if any of my members absolutely hated him, and I told him none that I know of, but most certainly there isn't much trust by some of 'em. After a pause he said, "Well, I am going to love all of them when I get to know them, because they are part of you."

It was a very nice, very caring...

so scared

feeds@yuku.com (Katgirl) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:01:07 GMT

Today I finally managed to talk to T. He is ending therapy at the end of the month. I have seen him since I was 15years old. I am so scared that I won't have anyone. In the past 3 weeks things have got really bad and I am afriad that things will get worse. I still have to work with him everyday. I have only been working a few hours a day then I have to go home "sick", becuase I can't stop crying when I see or hear T. I ended up in hospital early today needing stitches and I...

H1N1 displacement-- update

feeds@yuku.com (deerstep) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:02:52 GMT

I'm not losing my T yet-- I wrote before that due to the H1N1 thing, my social worker may be re-allocated to deal with H1N1. I wrote a letter to the hospital admin asking for an update as to whether or not my T will be recalled. Without begging, or sounding too desperate, but also emphasing the importance of T for clients like me.

Anyway, saw my T on Tuesday, and she said that even if she was recalled, she could still keep some contact by...
