Hello. My name is Meika and I am not alone in here. I like most, if not all of you, am a multiple. I found out this news about 8 months ago and I still can't get a grip on this fact. I spent a lot of time in denile and telling myself that this just can't be. I mean, I am not as bad off as some. I don't mean that in a bad way. What I mean to say is that most of the time I am co-conscious with the Ameoba, but then again there are some times that I am not. I have often been asked why I have said something or why I have done something and I can't remember what or why. This wouldn't seem so uncommon because there are many people that forget things, but not stuff that just happened minutes earlier. Often times I feel like I am standing outside and to the right of my body watching things as they happen but unable to control what is being said or done.

Sometimes I wonder if I really am a multiple or have I just given a name, face, and personality to sections of emotion in my body. Then again there are the times I look down at my hands, touch them and feel like I am in the body of another person. I feel and "know" instinctively that I have brown eyes but when I look into the mirror I freak out because I have blue (Which I really do.) I feel like I am not making any sense. It is hard to put into words things that I go through or feel, even though Lokilani is a writer.

I have a website about my life that is why I am not going into detail here. On the website it has all my diagnosis, my history, and my "others." Each of their pages has a picture that is a representation of what they look like, what they have told me and what I have felt and seen they look like. You all can check it out if you are so inclined. I would appreciate it.

My Safe Haven

I want to learn more. I want to talk to people. I want interaction with those that know what it is like to be as we are. I want the others to feel like they have a safe place to come and be who they are. I want to make friends.

Be well all of you and keep safe,
Meika (Host)

Hello and welcome

I had a skim through the Disssociative Identity Disorder section on your site. What you will probably fite on this community is a very different alternative view to multiplicity than you wrote about. Hopefully this will be a good thing, a new less depressing medicalised view. Don't be surprised or put off writing here if people call you on the information you have presented. Many, ourselves included take issue with some of that information. I didn't read the whole page because it irritates me too much. Like I said hopefully you will learn more being here, and be able to create a wider view of multiplicity than that presented by medical professionals. You may evn learn that it isn't some depressing negative experience and can actually be very normal and at times enjoyable.

Sometimes I wonder if I really am a multiple or have I just given a name, face, and personality to sections of emotion in my body.

How to tell the difference: Multiplicity means having several people in your body who each have their own aspects and facets to themselves. In cases where each 'personality' is basically limited to one emotion, i.e. 'anger,' 'sadness,' etc, it's more likely that someone is giving names to different feelings. This doesn't mean that's necessarily a bad thing if it helps someone sort things out and make sense of things, as long as they remember that they are all parts of themselves.

Some multiples report having system members who are sort of 'shadows' or 'fragments,' who only seem to experience one or a few emotions and don't seem to be full people. The difference is whether there are others in the system who are full people in their own right.

Hi and welcome for all of us!
Checked out your site... There's some things we disagree with... Some of it seems to be too "text book multiple". As someone said, here you will see different views about multiplicity.

Whoops! Anonymous post was us!

Something to say

[corvyd-soul.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to say that the information on my website says that the information isn't mine. I usually say where I got the information. Remember I am learning on my own here.

Welcome,

We understand about the Learning on your own thing. Because that's what we're doing.

so we were wondering if there was any birds or other animals in your system, this is Jake by the way, I am ~M~'s brother and we thought that it was odd that you chose the name "Corvyd" for your lj name when there are no birds in your system.

and did you know that you spelled it wrong? it's supposed to be "Corvid" by the Latin root Corvus corax "Corvid" would be a singular I suppose. It is actually,. We just got that confirmed.

So that's what we wondered.

Thanx,.....Bye Bye.

~Jake Silverfeather and M No Frost~

P.S. That's all of us here ~M~ says he liked the Book space you created. (He means Web-Page, This is ~M~ By the Way; It's a pleasure to meet you.)

Apologies,...

[jhonathand.livejournal.com]

I have to apologize for my brother, he's not the best at social interaction, with Humans. He's a Raven, and lives in the Attic. So there's where he got his Feather's Ruffled, (No pun intended) He's just very picky about his namesake,.

He Loaths and disdains Crows, and thinks them of a lessor Spieces even though they're related,.

Again, I'm sorry.

I like the layout and art within your site. I read somewhere that you/they take out things on yourself by cutting/hair pulling. Have you ever looked into CSP (compulsive skin picking)? Its an offshoot of OCD and it encompasses hair pulling, skin picking of all sorts.
