multiplicity_archivesThis point just dawned on me so I thought I'd post it here and see what happens. We're so busy with baby that I don't know how quickly we'd be able to answer questions directed at us, but it's not a retaliation to elenbarathi's post. It just reminded us of something we'd thought of writing about on here before.
Okay, there are a lot of young people in this community (teens and early 20's). It has been discussed before, usually in a negative light. However, I'd like to point out something we have personally experienced.
When we first found out about Natural Multiplicity we were only 20 years old. When we came out to our therapists as Multiple, we were 15 years old. If online access were so readily available back then, I'm more than sure we would have been on the web frantically looking for others like us.
We were really fucked up back then, very dramatic, but thanks to websites like the ones listed on the user info page here, and talking to other plurals, we wound up on the right track.
So if you're skeptical that these younguns showing up here, thinking that they might be trouble, just remember that some of us (maybe even you) started out the same way.
Peace, loves!

Re: websites helped us too
Date: 2006-01-16 04:34 am (UTC)with very complicated computer stuff tonight - for fun ;-)
I'm installing Plan9, an experimental operating system on
an emulator and sending bug reports to the team that maintains
plan9. Later i plan to create a DragonFlybsd image to give
away for free.
Not things you think of a child doing - but i am cheery and
optimistic, if a bit fearfull at times.
