God! Now there's 11 of us! This is crazy! Now I gotta babysit 10 other people and most of them cause trouble! Soo much talking. Stop talking all at once!! One at a time! Jesus! This is just great. Soon there's gonna be 10 more, maybe 100.... Oh hell no. - Ella

11 isn't so bad, i assure you people have had several hundred more alters, mainly because multiple alters can help with more than one part of the same issue, dont worry about it too much

Hey Ella, I know how stressful it can be when we discover a new personality especially when it feels like we already have so much to deal with the ones who are already present. But remember its important to remember that just like you were created to be there for the safety of Bailey, in their own unique way all the others were created for the exact same reason. So I urge you even though it is tiring try to get to know the positive qualities of each internal and then encourage each personality to harness those traits for the benefit of the whole. For example, I know Amber seems to be just one more problem but to me she seems like someone who will take crap from noone. This attitude can be harnessed for a positive purpose if she can be taught to do so. I know it take patience but Im sure there are others who have been around a while who arent so tiresome to work with who can be used to help you. Try to remain positive and know that you have external people willing to help you.

in time you will probably find that they all have helped you in some way and still exist for what they consider to be protection of you in some way. Yes, we/they cause trouble, but we/they also take some trouble to help us.

wait until one gets you fired. evidently I told a customer to go to hell, flat out insulted another, then made a threat on a third's life. I know what you mean though. the cocophony inside. I guess i just thought everybody felt it. I guess I just always thought the voices and the need to escape your own body was just part of life. I mean, isn't it? a little?
when it piques for me, I try to remember to breath into my stomach, and not my shoulders and try to move my posture to be healthy for my spine. focusing like this on the body sometimes makes the dust settle faster.
