Hellohello!

[ninalyn.livejournal.com]

Quick hello, since I'm exhausted and I haven't introduced myself (ourselves) to this seemingly wonderful community as of yet.

My name is Juliana, and I'm a member of WhisperSung (our collective name). I'm 18, and the body is 19. I've known about the others for about three years now, although I've probably been in denial for about 2 of those years (heh).

I joined basically to meet others like myself (who hopefully will be able to understand me better than some of my past friends).

I have a few questions that I'm curious to hear peoples' opinions on, if you all would be so kind. . .

1. Has anyone here had problems with parents/close friends/etc. accepting or believing your others? My parents completely refused to accept it, and to this day I don't bring it up with them. I feel very, very fortunate to have a close friend/boyfriend right now who accepts us for who we are. He knows that it isn't always easy to be around us, but he says that rings true for any relationship once in a while. :)

2. I understand that not all multiples underwent abuse, so this question might not be for everyone, but I wanted to bring it up just the same. . .I'm looking into going into therapy so I might be able to work out some of my issues, but I've come across some doctors who've told me that they don't believe in multiplicity. This completely boggles me (is it really something you can choose not to believe in?!). Does anyone have any good tips on how to find a respectable doctor who is willing to work with someone in my situation? Or is it merely a trial and error process?

3. Does anyone have any experience with anti-depressants and their effects on a multiple system? We've found the Nina and Marie, the two girls who need the anti-depressant effects the most, don't seem to be noticing any changes, but Butterfly (a 7 year old) seems to be getting extremely jittery and dizzy from the medication (I assume that's what it is from, anyway). Should we even be on medications? Aik!

I realise these questions aren't the easiest to answer, but I thought I'd throw them out there.

Now, a little more about us. . .

We're third year University students studying ancient Near Eastern studies, History, Hebrew and other semitic languages, and Jewish Studies. We eventually want to go into law school.

Religion is a bit of a controversy inside! Some of us want to convert to Judaism while others (like myself) consider themselves Christian (Catholic, in my case). Hopefully we'll figure out a way to compromise one of these days.

Now that I've rambled for a while *g* I'll leave you all be. If anyone would like to contact me or WhisperSung, our email address is on our userinfo page.

Everyone have a wonderful evening, and hello once again!

Love from,
Juliana
