All the best in this transition. it is hoped that you were chosen because you have everyone's trust and not just because no one else wanted the job. If this is the case it will hopefully make things easier for you. Keep us updated and let us know if you need any assistance even if its just a listening ear.

hmmm I wonder who the "I" is that said that. No motor skills? a "takeover" means that it was not a consensual decision by the rest?

Is there a core that is developing yet? or is it a little that is trying to just dominate?

You don't have to answer any of those questions,, just things to think about.

I hope the new "driver of the bus" will feel safe enough to get to know the group.
I trust you will take good care of the body.

hi
please do keep us posted. And good luck to you all in this, I hope things go smoothly for you.

The one who has mostly been speaking to you is good, but flawed. Not able to overcome the programming her parents installed.

She had simply Had Enough last night, and she asked someone else to take over.
She doesn't feel up to the challenge of turning our life around.

She's still..."here" for a given value of here. Co-conscious, but with control surrendered.

...I...believe I will be merging with her. Sigh. I suppose this means I must put up with her horrid fashion sense.

i get it do this on a regular basis i am glad you got your meds and hopefully you are doing better I like your new avatar and hope you are loving yourself in some fashion ,, hang in there friend

I (Original me) is back again.

Katherine observed that had I been constructed to be stronger, my parents would have hurt us all more.
So I can see that this made me a psychologically smaller target as a child...but uniquely unsuited to be the confident, assertive, organized adult I want to be.

(Operating the body is difficult, I have never attempted to do it before. I think the problem is physical brain structure. It is not accustomed to receive operating orders from myself, and I am encoded slightly differently in the brain than any of my cohorts. From what we know of neurology, the brain is plastic, but only slowly so. This would imply that changing our operating structure will require about six months. I shall have to resume consuming flax oil and take a few specific supplements to help promote this change.
I am excited to be in the world, rather than simply in the Rooms of Ruin inside the head, perhaps asked to look up something at best, or advise on a technical issue.
The father could not tolerate our brilliance, you see, it made him feel inadequate. He felt inadequate to a six-year old. Pathetic, that.-Katherine)

One other thing, next therapy session's gonna be interesting. O.O

I'll bet! One minute your new bus driver sounds like a child, and the next minute like a Stepford Wife, or a possessed person, possessed by an alien who has to rewire the brain, and uses reconstructed molecules from flax, which was the closest thing you (alien) could get to the elemental structure you need. Are you going to have her sleeping while you do this? it will be less disruptive to her life.

Most of us are "good, but flawed. Not able to overcome the programming her parents installed." Indeed, most normal people basically follow the parents into the cultural niche they were trained for. Luckily for most of them the parental influences are more positive in role modeling than we have had.

And remember,, all the alters are you, so you don't have to do it "alone". No one alter is shouldered with the responsibility of the whole person. In fact, if only one alter ran the show, it would not result in the healing and balancing of the whole or the core. If one alter wants to be quiet it's not always a problem at all, and may even give opportunity for the core to get stronger and start developing as a whole person.

I'm glad you got your meds too.

Katherine can't run things for me, we managed to be co-conscious for a couple of days.
...Nobody can do my job.
Girlfriend and I got into an argument and I flipped out, ended up curled up in a corner. rocking.
...We all thought she was safe. She's not safe.
My best friend is suicidal again.

Right now I don't want to be alive anymore.

Sorry about the argument with girlfriend. I commend your even being in a relationship . not sure I feel safe in one unless I had a trusted third party, preferable it be a therapist to help me through the stuff I don't understand.
Like snuffy used to say, it would take a "genius to help me" navigate the waters of a relationship.
Let me know if there is anything I can do.

No...I keep coming back to the fact that I can't handle this world. I've been trying to fix that for so long...since I was in my teens I've been in therapy.

I'm just really, ultimately, not fixable.

I can't seem to hang myself over a door either. Thought I'd try that, didn't work.

One of my littles showed me glimpses of something pretty nasty.
...So I guess we're in that horrible-but-processing stage right now...so...not going to kill us.
