Ever wish you could freeze a moment and then smash it out of existance?

I just came out publicly in my journal. And I am scared shitless.

I am the least qualified to have done this, but I am the most confused by everything. I lose years of my life and need to be brought up to speed (after an adequate freaking out phase) everytime I come forward.

My memories stop at age 16... this body is now 24, almost 25.

The husband made the joke "Could be worse, you could be like 10 second Tom" I had no idea what he was talking about, so he sat down and watched 50 first dates... he had rented it as a joke with S.R., and they had a laugh over it. But all it did was make me cry... because that pretty much is how life is for me.

I'm sure you've seen this journal name in here before, apparently I've been a member before.

Anyway, my point was, it is now public knowledge...

What were your experiences "coming out" like?

Ironically, we're out just about everywhere -except- to our family. We have a suspicion they would take it very badly because thanks to bad publicity and crappy TV movies, people often tend to take "I'm multiple" as an insinuation that you were molested, and we suspect they may jump to assume we're accusing them.

If you want to see the coming-out post Azusa did in her journal, though, I can email it to you.

For me, everyone knows except my places of work :P which was interesting the other day when I injured us quite painfully while chopping pumpkin and I was very close to switching several times over the next hour. Apparently we did slip once or twice but no one was paying attention to us at the time, and Jessiah is probably the most able to act like me without having to try, as long as he's not having a conversation.
