hi, we almost never post here, but we are having a very hard time, and a big part of the problem is with our therapist, she won't call any of us by our names, and we hate the name on our birth certificate and so she won't call us by any name at all, we feel like if we have no name then we are dead, we want to find a therapist who will let us be us, and who won't treat us all the same, and who will call us by our names but it is so hard, and we have had this therapist for a year and we tried to quit therapy with her and we freaked out and got so suicidal, and we don't know what to do, and we are falling apart and everything is falling apart and the world is falling apart and i am so sorry for posting this here please don't be mad at me

I'm not mad at you. I wish I could help you. Maybe you could look for a new therapist while continuing with this one? I'm not sure how that would work for you. I'm sorry I can't think of anything else to say. Hang in there, you will work it out.

I dun think ya need a name to be worth somethin' or alive, but then I doubt just sayin' that can change the fear of it. As for the doc...
Yeah, I agree ya should look for a new one. And ya can do that while still with this one, really, I think we (or Mum? somebody) did that sorta thing before. I'm confused as to why the hell they won't call ya people by your names tho...Of course, our shrink never uses anything but our given/legal name (which none of us really like either. or, as Diz says, "it doesn't fit") but that's only when on the phone and in the waiting area. We told her to use that on the phone and stuff cause its easier than askin' for one of us who's asleep or somethin' and our parents are still sometimes weirded out by it...
Yeah, Diz told her/our parents. Weird girl, eh? But now I'm on a tanget...gomen ne (translation: sorry). We ain't mad at ya for postin' this, tho, and I know you don't know me/us but...
*hugs* I hope things get better ^^ I'm sure you'll be able to find somethin', but I tend to be a die hard optimist and I dunno what that somethin'd be anyway. So just good luck, yeah?

of course no one would be mad at you for posting, at least i should hope not because i certainly am not, none of me are. i have tried a few times to get my/our friends to call me by my name but it is just weird i think for them when they know me as one name to call me another. especially as hardly anyone knows about my plurality. i do joke about it to people sometimes as i am fairly sure they would not understand. they think i'm weird enough as it is. i hope so much for you to find someone you feel more comfortable and respected with/by.

My suggestion regarding your therapist is: find another therapist before you get rid of this one. It is the therapists responsibility and job to help you through things... not make things worse for you. (And from the sounds of it.... that's what's happening.)
G'luck.
