Locked Out?

[rozanya.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm new, but I really need some advice here.

Since last night, I've not been able to establish a connection with the rest of our system. Every time I've tried to go back inside, I've only been able to see blackness instead of the usual room we're in. Nobody else is talking, and I can't see them. Is this normal?

Also, I've been trying to figure out why it's happening (with help from a couple of the original's friends), and we've narrowed it down to two possibilities.

1) The original (Roz) has been so affected by something she watched that it's damaged all the connections and left me locked out because I was controlling the body.
2) My frequent blackouts are preventing me from getting back. I recently had stitches to the back of my head (this is inside, not stitches to the body's head) following an injury, and since then I've had blackouts.

Does anyone have any advice? I'm really scared about this.

That happens to us too...And ti's straight-up annoying!!! First thing I could say is relax. I know it's hard to do right now but relax. Take a very deep breath and relax. Maybe the glitch which has you locked out will resolve its self. Play music other people like, watch movies, etc. etc. That also helps some. I wish you all the luck in the world. That's such a very scary feeling.

Sometimes when that happens to one of us, we just go to sleep (the body) and when we wake up we'll find that things have been fixed.

I've been locked out for months now. There is something wrong with the gate, because I still get some communication from the homeworld, including "emails" from people who usually front. (When those are meant to be LJ comments, I post them as written, with that person's icon.) There are times I don't even have that and for all I know I'm the only one who's ever been here and the others and Laura are just made up. It feels horrible.

As to whether it's normal, I think you mean have other people had it: check this out

Since you had a head injury in your homeworld I would be willing to bet that the others are not only still there but doing their best to help get you away from the front so you can rest. I think what rhymer_713 said, try to take it as easy as possible. As far as Roz, maybe if you could tell us a little about what she was watching? Because maybe other people could give you feedback that might reach her even through the barrier and be helpful to her.

Keep the faith, man. You know your headmates are real, you're just afraid. I'm sure they're thinking of you and doing all they can to be with you.

All this goes for you, too, Claire, of course. I hope it won't offend either of you to know you're in my prayers. The fear of being alone, of having imagined friends and important experiences, hits me in a personal spot.

Thank you. Even though I know these things are true, it's always good to hear it from someone else too. Thank you for your prayers too.

Pretty much where we are right now. I'm not really sure where I'm at, keep spacing out, my head's not working like it should be, and I only get around to writing comments and stuff when the girls try to really focus and help out. I don't even know what's happening with some of the rest in here.

They're trying to figure out something to do, but I guess relax is the only real advice there is. 'Cause stress'll do it apparently.

There's still been no contact from anyone, unfortunately.

Roz was watching Casanova (the 2003 BBC version), but she's been head over heels for one of the main actors. If he seems hurt or upset, she feels it too. Because this actor's character took a lot of emotional damage, it might just have tipped her over the edge. I don't know.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

This happens every once in a while to me. I get really stressed and accidentally build a wall between myself and everyone else and we can't communicate until I manage to get the wall back down.

I find that meditating regularly really helps, as does regular excersize.

It is really frustrating and scary and I hope that you can get it fixed soon.

We got the majority of the connection back last night, but it's just gone again. We're now left with just six of our system (there's about 36 of us in total), and the original's been missing for four days now.

Does anyone have any ideas why the connection would have just disappeared like that?

Our theories range from hormonal (we are perimenopausal, although these gate glitches have been happening forever) to other biochemistry changes, maybe caused by environmental factors or what we've been eating or not eating, what vitamins or medicines we are or are not taking, possibly a whole range of factors.

Some people here feel the important part is not so much what causes it as knowing that these things tend to resolve. From what we've read and heard from other people as well as our own experiences, these situations are temporary. Connections do re-establish and people do come back. It's just really frustrating when it is happening. Arggh. Hope you hear from them soon.
