Coping Skills & Support

very confused, very freaked out

feeds@yuku.com (TDO) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:25:29 GMT

I posted this on a different site and it was suggested that I come over here and post since this site is more active. Here is my original post:

"I've spent countless hours online trying to figure out what the *#$& is wrong with me, and DID is the closest I can find to what is going on with me (us?). I know I was sexually abused as a child, but I don't remember the actual abuse, only the "fallout" (as I like to call it). Let's not go into detail about...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

active imagination anyone?

feeds@yuku.com (katieprestby) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:17:47 GMT

looking for people with experience with therapy and active imagination, it's a specific approach to connecting with the subconscious

we will be back tomorrow

feeds@yuku.com (Raistlin) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:09:46 GMT

It has been an awful day from work to our roommate to this computer. If anyone knows anything about viruses if you have a virus and it stops an antivirus program from working and you reinstall the program and the program works was the problem likely to have actually been caused by a virus or something else? At any rate it has been a bad day. Sorry we haven't been on here tonight.

Hello all my sweet friends!

I wanted to let you know what's been going on. I've been doing a lot of internal work and have been having a rough time. I just finished a major portion yesterday in T so I'm starting to feel better for now. Yay for me!

Plus, I'm preparing to leave town on Friday to go on a cruise with my husband! It's our 9th year wedding anniversary. We'll be back on 11/15 so I will check in with you all after that! I'm so...

The Un-Wonderful thing about triggers...(not tiggers...i like tiggers:))

feeds@yuku.com (JunieBee007) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:34:04 GMT

I love cucumber salad. Unfortunately I stopped eating it because the smell reminded me of my mom and her house always smelled like cuccumbers. I love making love with my husband. I go through long dry spells because sex reminded me of my abuse. This pisses me off!!!!! I used to love plane travel....untill my dad died overseas. I am sick of it!!!!!!
Triggers are a big rip off. A real life zapper. Thats it I am done. Thoes assholes have goofed up my life long enough and I am...

A bad economy is good?

feeds@yuku.com (Raistlin) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 20:27:42 GMT

I was wondering what people's opinion of this is. According to Yahoo News a recent survey given to people about the economy had a surprising Outcome. Many people were grateful that the economy went flat because they said it set their priorities right. People are now thankful for the little things and spend more time with family and friends.

Now I'm not a big fan of the economy the way it is but I have to wonder if these people aren't right to some extent. From the time...

Support in hospital

feeds@yuku.com (HiddenAngel08) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 05:37:15 GMT

Hello wonderful peoples!

We're on home leave for the weekend, and we're about to enter our third week of being in hospital.

Its going really well. We have tons of support from staff and the other patients.

Cos we're under 18, we have to go to school in the mornings but we're not in education so we just do some constructive things like art work or poetry. After lunch we have a couple of group therapies like discussion group, creative group,...

Why Do We Need Coping Skills

feeds@yuku.com (Roxiesmama) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:24:42 GMT

Can someone please explain to me why I need "coping skills" before I can do any memory work? Every therapist I've been to thinks they have to teach me coping skills. Forget coping skills-I want this over! I was diagnosed almost 12 years ago-I just can't keep doing this. The "average" time "they" say is that it takes about 7 years from start to finish for a DIDer. I don't want to waste another 7 years! Someone please tell me how to heal my broken...

Losing my superpowers?

feeds@yuku.com (Bobzilla) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:49:32 GMT

I'm fairly pleased with progress in charting my system, some co-consciousness and perhaps even some integration (definitely losing less time to fugue), but the trade-off seems to be in losing some abilities and capabilities I've kind of gotten used to. My T said it's a good thing because I'm not defaulting as much into disassociation. For instance, when I was building our earthship, I'd frequently get things banged or cut or bruised, and I could "isolate" the...

put in a bad spot

feeds@yuku.com (Raistlin) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:23:01 GMT

At work we have been tearing down some old racks (we work in a warehouse). One of the employees helping noticed some forgotten product under the old shelves and instead of turning it in decided to pocket it right there in front of everyone. No one said a word about it. I don't want to speak up because in order to do so I would have to go outside the warehouse to corporate and we have learned in the past that going to corporate just makes life bad. Any members of management in the...

Losing it

feeds@yuku.com (DividedDreams) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:26:43 GMT

I hate this, I don't have time for anything....I don't even have time to come on here, I miss everyone so much. I need this place, you all are the only ones that understand.

My protecter has gone nuts (if that's possible) and is causing all kinds of problems
I'm trying to get through work
and school

all I want are things I know I shouldn't do.

I'm sorry, I just didn't know where else to go....
