MY LIFE AS A MULTIPLE
-
@shelley-harcar Your support to me means more than you could ever know. I'm so sorry about your own illness. I can understand how you can't get out of bed some mornings because I have certain alters that feel that same way. They just don't happen to be the ones who get us out of bed because they wouldn't do it. I am lucky enough to have people I can call on to get us up and moving. I hope today is a good one for you! xx

@rboowybe Thank you so much for your support! I'm so sorry you suffer from depression. That is a hard one. Some of my alters suffer from depression too. But luckily I have other alters that don't. It does help to write. Sometimes it is easier when you see it all written out in front of you and not just in your head. That's how it is for me. Again, thank you for your support. xx

I believe you sweetie, sorry I read your blog out of order. The brain is a very complex organ, I suffered clinical depression, with panic disorder and suffered anhedonia, so yes, I have mental illness, although I got well. Have you ever read Three Faces Of Eve? I wish I remember a book I read years ago where a woman had over a dozen multipals, her therapy was intense and lasted for years, but her psychiatrist helped her that many of her alters were dismissed. She had no memory of many of them and was baffled when others described her actions, she even switched from genders, even spoke a foreign language in one, one was shy, another very outspoken. Here is a great site, PUBMED, this is a trusted site with tons of info, my daughter used this for research in college and beyond, she is an R.N. I find urstyle is therapy for so many of us, we create where our heart a soul is, I do believe you no doubt. Here is the site sweetie!

@sjlew Thank you for that fascinating article! It actually made me feel better. Maybe a little less crazy. Therapy has made me better over the years. I have integrated to the point where I know what I am doing now for most of the day. I can be co-present with other alters and they let me take the lead. Who knows what the future holds for me as I continue therapy. It is possible I guess that all my alters will integrate. But I think I would miss them. We have learned to become friends over the years. But I am open to the possibility. Again, thank you for reading and for the article!

@surfergirl3915 You are welcome sweetie, happy you can spend most days know what is going on. I'm imagine it could be very exhausting.

Oh, dear, I can't even imagine how brave you should be to share this with all of us. I'm sorry to hear that though, it must really hard, really. But what I liked about Polyvore (and now Urstyle) - there were lots of people who always supported me and others. Most of them continue doing that on here too. So we are here for you. Hugs, Asya
P.S. Honestly, I didn't know about your blog until I saw your set. Sorry for this but in my defense I can say that I didn't have much time to spent it on here, and still don't.

You are so incredibly brave & courageous to post about your life as a multiple. I was a psych major so I knew a fair amount about the disorder b/c it was something I studied & then did further reading on. To be frank, I come from an abusive background & the connection between that & MPD was something of interest to me b/c of various resulting mental health issues in my family. I lost a family member to suicide who was bi-polar. I commend you on writing a blog about this & it is so important in our society to tear down the walls of stigma regarding mental health challenges. You have my full support in your important work here. Denise

@romaboots Thank you, Denise, so much for your comment! With your psych background, I'm sure you know a lot about the illness. I agree that we need to raise awareness and try to get rid of the stigma of mental illness. The sufferers deal with enough every day, they don't need more, do they? I'm so happy you see and understand this. Your support means so much to me personally and it really does help me to know people like you are out there. Thank you for reading and for commenting!
Hugs, Nikki xx
