a quiet hello

[stormsforme.livejournal.com]

i am a less multiple-dissoid.
i just found this group and hope that it's ok to join.

i used to do newsgroups a lot, years ago... alt.support.dissociation, and i wonder if any of you were ever on there. did the mailing list support thing

stopped for awhile. my life came together.

but i wonder if its ok to still ... miss the way i was before. im more fragmented than alter-ish.

the fragments are more gel'ed with the body now, less switching. though i still shift to child often, it's not as drastic a switch as before, and aside from the soft child-voice, it's less obvious to those around me.

this is supposed to be a success story, right? went from suicidal, falling apart, empty, dead, losing time constantly, feeling so shattered... to more unified.

but it feel so empty and lonely in my mind now.

Integration isn't all that they lead you to believe, is it?

That happens to me a lot. Depending on what's going on outside and inside, we kind of shift in and out of an integration of sorts. It was actually somewhat of a coping mechanism in middle and high school: a new front would be created who didn't know about the others, lived as a singlet for a while, then *pop*, everyone falls out again. Lather, rinse, repeat. I know what you mean about the emptiness, though--that longing is usually what causes the re-dissociation for me.

I think we are supposed to be going away. Kate's bf seems to think they will make us dissapear..

I don't really want them to do that but I'm not really in Major control. Kate is.
