well hi.
ive not posted before because ive been awol for about six months and before that we were lurking but hi,
anyway i dont know any other multiples of line so it gets a bit lonley sometimes.Im in a system of three but one of us is dormant. So its just two of us mainly. we genraly co concious and switch often depending on who does what best,whats going on and how we're feeling. The first place i came acros anything on healty multiplicity was on Aestreas web and it was such a relif. Although we are traumatic multiples origionaly, we have no intention of integrating and we function as coherent human beings most of the time,and we are definate individuals. Anyway like i said i went awol for six months and Amber just compleatly fell apart without me so we kind of need each other.But this is me im fifteen years old and female. HI

Since I totally made a seemingly-hypocritical moron out of myself in a previous post, I'd like to express my interest in your experiences with professionals to whom you sought some form of assistance. What was helpful for you? What was completely wrong? Were the professionals involved knowingly disregarding your multiplicity - did any successfully diagnose it? Were you open about your multiplicity from the very beginning, or did you let on later? Were you seeking help for system-related maladies, or for other things? What treatments were involved for such things? What problems were had, and how were they worked out, or worsened? Also, has anyone heard of EMDR for trauma-related issues?

I guess I'll start out by saying my boyfriend and his system was at first diagnosed as schizorphenic when their body was very young, perhaps 8 years old or so. Nowadays, for one psychologist, it was more of an issue that "April" (the name of the body) was in a homosexual relationship (when really it was Andrew and me together) than that (s)he'd been raped of her childhood. So homophobia got in the way of the real problems at hand, and nothing was accomplished.

I really hope I didn't ruin my rep' as a "nice singleton" around here...
