There's been alot of conflict in the Black Rose Clan... Ella (my protector) has been badmouthing everyone and everything, starting fights, been just very mad about everything.

I keep getting yelled at by one of my teachers for dissociating.... i cant help it and i makes me hate myself for being me. Its hurtful...

do they know at your schoool that youhave a dissociative disorder? Can a counseller have a quiet word to this teacher?

Please try to not let the ignorance of others make you hate yourself for being you - and yeah, i know how easy it is for me to say but how hard for all of us to do this

i would consider asking Ella what is underneath the anger?? Open up a dialogue if possible...i'm here to listen...a rose is beautiful no matter what color.

It sounds to me like you could definitely use a mediator to help your teacher understand that whatever you are doing when you dissociate, is something you can't help doing. Do you have a therapist outside of school, or the school counselor or psychologist, that could help you talk about this with your teacher? Perhaps, the three of you together?

PS ~ getting yelled at by any teacher, for whatever reason, is not likely to be productive. Perhaps you could approach the problem from that angle.
