Just need help...

Um, hello. We don't even know what to begin with. Our short bio, maybe.

  First, there was only She, the main personality, who had inhabited our [male] body since birth.
At the age of 6 or 7 She created me [Grif], probably because She was lonely and needed friends. We had been growing up together, but She forgot about my existence pretty soon. She then made some real "friends", who involved Her in doing horrible things. Of course, I tried to talk Her out of it, but She didn't want to lose Her new "friends" and thus kept doing everything to please them. Later, She realized there was a monstrous tissue of lies and mistakes made by Her and decided to commit suicide. The body pulled through, but her personality was shattered and a new personality [Krezt] appeared [by separating from me].
Damn, I've never told anybody about my past, but I believe it's somehow connected to my present problem. So...
 
    I can't concentrate at all! It feels like there is mental noise in my mind, consisting of Her thoughts, memories and feelings. Now I spend most part of my free time sitting in the corner and staring blankly, I cannot think, decide or do anything. There's a bunch of problems snowballing meanwhile, and I know I must solve them but I can't even move a finger.
Krezt also can't fight with it, though he has a great deal more will-power.
 Please, ANY advice would be useful! I need to get out of this state.

What happened?

Hey guys!

We were just wondering what happened to the 'Positive Plural Survivor Community' idea that standingstone was posting about earlier? It's been a month, and since this post we haven't heard any updates on the concept. Is standingstone still planning on founding a community? Has there been any changes to the proposal for it? We really think it's important that a group like this is founded for those that need it in the multiple community.

Thanks,

David and co.

I've been a part of this communtity for about a year now, and for the most part I'm usually rather quiet, but for a moment I'm going to speak up about a couple of things I've noticed in the past and recently.

I'd like to make a couple of disclaimers so that each you has an idea of where I'm coming from.

I'm currently studying to get a PhD in clinical psychology, so I think that some of you view me--and those from my discipline--as the enemy. However, I'd also mention that I'm also the survivor of sexual trauma deep in my childhood, which I should point out that most people drawn to this field have experienced something in their past that gives them reason to find their interest.

It's that moniker of "enemy," that I wast to try to address. The things I'm putting in quotes aren't necessarily direct quotations and will more than likely be paraphrasings of comments I've seen.

( I may get a bit long-winded )

I apologize for being so long-winded, but this subject is something I feel very passionate about. I'm working towards my degrees not because I've a desire to make a lot of money; I'm working as hard as I am in order to help others. I look upon my personal path as that of a caregiver, with little regard for how much money I can make doing it. ...and from what I've seen, the vast majority of psychologists have much the same driving force behind them. Most have spent a lot of money getting to where they are, deal with the stress of their jobs constantly, but wouldn't trade what they're doing for anything.

As I've said to others in my personal journal, I constantly fight the monster in my basement. Most of the time I win, other times I don't fare so well, but on a philosophic and metaphoric level if I can take others who are losing more than winning and help them learn how defeat the monsters in their basements, then I'll be a happy human being at the end of my life.

For curiosity's sake...

Edited to close poll and provide community with more information:

Poll results:

Percentage believing a Plural-Positive PTSD group was needed in the community: 85.3%
Total percentage of those who replied 'yes' or 'maybe' to the question of whether they would consider joining this type of community: 73.8%

Based on our findings, we have decided to post a proposal on Thursday/Friday for the community's feedback. (Sorry it's been delayed. We have 'Mommy' stuff. :p) We would also like to broadcast that if we create this community, we will need several moderators to help us maintain it due to our family responsabilities.

Thanks,

David
