Quiet

Everything's been quiet. The only one who comes out is Sai and she doesn't even do it as often. The only thing I know I battle with these days is what to eat. I swear they constantly battle and battle over it. Its to the point i start to say something and they bypass it and say another. But other than that, that's it.

Do you think that maybe something is wrong?

It sounds like you've got something going on in the background for everyone to be so focused on what to eat. Do you journal? I've found that to be a great way to create dialogue internally. I hope you find out what's going on.

Sometimes I have quiet times.. so quiet in fact that I sometimes begin to doubt I even have DID (must have imagined it, blah blah blah). It can go on for weeks, and then something triggers one of them to come out and I'm shocked to discover that it's real after all.

Enjoy the quiet time, my friend. I guess that's how singletons feel all the time.

Annie's on to something, though. Maybe they're working on carefully showing you a memory related to eating, trying to bring your attention to eating without coming right out and showing you the memory. Our alts are good like that... They only show us as much as we are ready for, and they help us prepare beforehand and support us afterward. Multiples are lucky people that way.

Blessings,

I think I've figured it out, but I'm not exactly sure. If its what I think, I hope they can all be nurturing to my body and beyond, cuz if not, things are going to get bad really fast.

Another thing, I like cheese, but I've been craving it NONSTOP! Like my mom had to go to two stores before she found the right sharp cheddar cheese. So I have a jar of spreadable cheese in my room because I'm constantly craving it.

I'm scared, and confused.

It's ok. There are always adjustments and new communications being made. You'll make it.

If you want to share what you think, and your alts feel safe sharing it in this group, please feel free. Sometimes other people learn from each others' experiences, so you may help someone else, too, by sharing things as you learn. (Of course, if you think sharing would cause inner turmoil, don't share... Being trustworthy to your inner family is most important to healing.)

I hope it turns out well, and that they're all just taking a break and giving you a rest from the work of healing. Sometimes we need that rest, and they seem to know it. I don't visualize healing as a straight line. Rather, I see it as a curly-cue. We go forward a bit, then circle around, coast for a little, move forward, then circle back again, and so on. Once I realized that, the circling backward and coasting parts didn't worry me so much. Hope that helps.

Hugs,
