i have my sisters family visting me while we all go to my nephews graduation. I am having such a hard time staying present. They trigger a lot of crap. Sometimes I can't be around them at all. I want them to go away so instead I go away and let my more capable personalities out. I just hope it's not Nancy. She has a tendency to be very blunt about her opion on things. Ya know that place you go to right before you switch where everything gets in a trans like numbness? That is where I am right now. Sorry if I'm not making sense. I just needed to be in a place where I feel safe. That's why I'm here knowing that there are people out there that can relate to this situation. I just do not want to end up cutting again Thanks for being around everyone!

Can completely understand hun. I hate being around family as well. Families tend to ostracise us and make us feel like we dont belong there which just exacipates are feelings. Maybe you just need to communicate with the internals and let them know that only certain ones can come out around the family and if they can live up to that bargain well then there will be rewards for them for doing so. Ideally it would be nice to just avoid the family altogether but then if your family is anything like mine, were the ones who are made to feel as though we are in the wrong and causing problems. Im glad to hear you feel safe here.

I have a hard time doing that around my family too. They're just so bitter about everything that it's no wonder I have a lot of negative alters.

Family sucks;
They want you back in their neat lttle denial word where they shut you up again in that fake merry family reunion time .
You know what?Your feeling of unease is the proof you are sane.
I cut that movie show long time ago;Never regretted it.Time for reality check.They make us mad.
Let them roll in their rabbits's cages;You deserve better;

I so appreciate everyones support! Thank you my faithful friends. It's sad that we all suffer, but at the same time knowing that in our suffering are not alone. Huge help! We switched a few times and at one point I just left the company and went in my bedroom switching to one of the kids and took a nap. Woke up feeling more myself again.
Yes, I did feel like everyone was evaluating me and my healing progress. Doesn't that just make you feel like(lack for a better word) Yuck!
I find that one of the biggest mistakes I ever made was allowing my doctors and counselor release information to my family. I guess at the time it seemed like it would have been helpful. Who would of guessed they would end up with such a haughty attitude thinking they know what's best for me and be "proud" of my progress or lack of it! About two months ago I took away that privelege so they can not assume they know it all. Trying to tell me what to do and how to do it! YUCK YUCK DOULBLE YUCK!!!
Anyway we can't choose our families but thank God we can choose our friends! You are dear to my heart thanks again! Blessings, Jessy
