we had a weird thing - okay, several weird things - happen over the weekend, and we could use some help figuring out what happened. we'll post an intro later, but we don't have much time right now since we have to leave for work soon.
we're a small system, about ten people or so. we're not really sure how many are in here. most are pretty sane, but we had one (we thought it was only one) who was crazy most of the time. she was always angry, always trying to pick fights and be nasty to people. once in a while she'd come out and talk quietly and be really nice and interesting, but most of the time she was just a troublemaker who didn't want to follow the system rules unless she felt like it. sometimes it seemed like she was just one, other times if seemed like she might have been three different fragments all acting as one. or something like that.
on sunday, she got really freaked over something minor that happened, and switched out and just... went crazy. she screamed at our partner, and then went upstairs and started plotting to kill us. she wanted to either overdose or jump out the window, or maybe both. we got some control back over the body, so she wasn't able to do that, but she just kept getting more and more insane. finally she kind of... burned out, we guess. there were a few minutes when we just thought we were hallucinating or something, and then we kind of woke up and everything was quiet and normal except that she didn't seem to be here anymore.
the next morning she was back, sort of, but she felt different. still really crazy, though. when we confronted her about the fact that she'd been violating our system rules and refusing to change, she got crazier, and eventually she did the same sort of thing that happened on sunday.
today there's nothing left of her except a tiny bit of the sane version, the one who sometimes comes out and talks. and she feels really damaged and scared now and isn't really talking to us. we're all really confused about what happened, and aren't sure what to do now. has anybody here experienced anything like that? or do you have any idea what might have happened?
wow, this was long, sorry.

um..... what ever is going on maybe some one should try and comfert her?
If she's scared and feels "damaged" this might have freaked her out as much as it did the rest of you.... she might need some help dealing with it.
I wouldn't know...

Date: 2004-04-20 04:41 pm (UTC)I have had this happen in our system yes. Most of hte time it was a matter of calming that person down & getting them inside again. One we had to lock up unfortunately. She committed suicide eventually. There was nothing I or anyone could do. She was clincally speaky, psychotic. Shrugs. How else to explain things I do not know.
