    • About Me

      diagnosed in 1994 still struggle Just discovered that another part has been running the show for the most part of a year and I wasn't even aware of it. Some of my parts are so closely entertwined that I don't know where one ends and another begins. And I'm very disturbed about what they have been up to. There always has been some disagreements about who exactly is the host personality. The jury is still out on that one. And a year ago I officially changed my name and it was about at that time the problems began, I think because I dropped my first name which I had never really used except in official business but it is the name of one of the parts in question. I just didn't think. I guess hindsight is truly 20/20. There started out to be around 30 of us although many of us have blended. I'm not sure how many there are now. We work fairly well together with an occasional blip. We have an awesome team of Drs and therapists who work with us, very well versed in DID. We consider ourselves very lucky. We have written a book although we are draggin our feet a bit about sending it out. We are the type to research anything that relates to us and when we were first diagnosed in 1994 we did just that. The problem was that everything we read was either too deep or technical for us to understand or it triggered us so we decided that when we were ready that we would write a book that newbies could read that would give them some tools to help them cope that wouldn't trigger them. The problem is that I'm scared to let anyone read it. One day maybe I'll get the courage.... I have 2 beautiful children and 3 beautiful grandchildren. They are my heart.
