Yeah having DID sures makes life interesting but its good that you were able to laugh at it and accept that this is just a natural part of life without criticising the personalities for what they did.

dressing by committee, can't say i've had that experience but my wardrobe has at times looked like it was purchased by one =)

you go to church with your therapist? That's amazing. The first guy I went to was in a church are seriously figured if I was in church there, it would be a conflict of interest. It's cool that your therapist is there in that way.

I have a lot of different styles... thank god for my alters having an emo sense of style like me..most of them are the same but...my face looks bad sometimes

I have this experience... a lot!

I love the term "dressing by committe", I think I'll borrow that one.

I must admit, that when my alters and I are "dressing by committee" it can be very stressful, because I will choose something to wear, get almost done putting it on, and then next thing I know, I'm wearing something else entirely. But there are times when I look in the mirror and just have to laugh. It helps that people see me as Quirky, like Phoeebe in the tv programme Friends, so no body questions what I'm earing or why I have my hair in pigtails lol

I'm glad you managed to find the humour in the situation xxx

I love that phrase "dressing by committee," too! I'm also gonna borrow that, if you don't mind, ThePeople. :-)

My first day seeing my therapist, everyone was nervous, and wanted to look our best. I chose a nice, professional-looking, embroidered blouse. Tia chose blue jeans, and Pru went for the rainbow-striped headband.

Sometimes I feel like I fell out of a yard sale. The more nervousness I have about going somewhere, the more chaotic getting dressed can be.

It's refreshing to hear that others experience this, too, and yes, it can be funny when I realize what I'm wearing. Well, with all our stress, we deserve some humorous moments!

I went back into a teenage stage for awhile with Storm, A Mother of tons of kids, and I wore black all the time from head to toe. I listened to head banging music, "my teens loved me". My kids do not know about my DID. After awhile she was willing to settle into the more casual Mom look.

That can be a good reason why normally, therapists are supposed to avoid social contact with their client. You should feel free to dress however you want to, without questions or judgement. If your therapist can't keep the two seperate (therapy and outside the therapy room) then your therapist should find another church to go to. Just my opinion.

I had a therapist I went to church with too, once...although it was the other way around; she treated me very cordially in church, but in therapy, not so much....makes me wonder if she was....you-know-what!!
