multiplicity_archivesHello,
I've lurked for quite sometime, not really knowing how to introduce myself, or my others. But here it is.
I'm Rick, I started as an other, but I'm now the core. I'm transgender, and began life as the masculine form of the original core, Rachel. We split at 15(i'm 24 now)and I took over slowly, at both of our best interests, and a mutual agreement. We all had split and integrated several times since then, and two years ago, integrated for what I thought was the last time. Last night, however, In an intimate situation with my husband(I also identify as bisexual, he knows about me, and is transgendered also)I felt my 8 year old other begin to emerge again. He darted out quickly, and retreated again, just as fast, but I still felt him. There's other back story to this, but I don't feel like getting all into it right now, if you want to know, ask. There's several others, I'll tell you their names, (the ones I know of) and explain a bit about each one, then i'll explain the reason i'm finally introducing myself(ourselves?).
Rachel. Original Core, age 15(or thereabouts). when not integrated, lurks, coming out in lesbian-type situations. Shy, withdrawn, and meek.
Cubbie. eight year old boy. Is boisterous, giggly, and fun-loving, also sometimes, becomes reserved and withdrawn.
Wolf. Not from within, He is our archive. He knows all of the others, what their purpose is, and their origins.
the twins. male and female, they don't speak, and are a perfect balance of each other. one is dark, one is light,(i don't know which, it's possible their color isn't fixed. not sure of age.
the girl who screams. a child, age not fixed, she is incapable of anything but screaming in terror.
the grandmother. An older woman, she protects, and comforts the others.
there are most likely others, but seeing as how I haven't fully split again, I don't know quite how many, or anything like that.
Now, questions.
1. Has anyone else experienced integration/splitting in turns? periods of time where you're one, then other periods where you're many?
2. what are your experiences with that?
3. Have you ever been triggered by someone else?(splitting, not switching)
4. How do you deal with switching in front of other people?
Okay, I'll leave y'all alone,
Rick
