Er... Anyone know how to fix it if you... can't switch? If you want to, but can't turn over control to anyone else?
I'm... kind of having that problem.

Hmm.. i can force the switch to Blood if I need her, but she won't ever reliquish control once she has it, she has to want to give it up. I once had to force her to front to keep two others under control and the friend I was with at the time got on the reciving end of her rage for a bit before Silvaren got her to calm down.

Y'see, I'm not really the normal front. A frontrunner, but not the frontrunner. In fact, I have problems dealing with people, since everyone is used to Ariel being out by herself or nearly so. We have class tomorrow morning... I'm just going to go to sleep and hope things are straightened out when we wake up.

Any internal comunication?

If so talk to the others.....


I have always frunted (as far as i know) but once when things are realy bad I tried to force kitsu to frunt.... and well... she put up a fight.... a HUDGE fight.... I couldn't put her in control.

She refused to be in control....

Yeah. The others are still here. I can talk to them... They're as clueless as me.

[azraile.livejournal.com]

well with me it's simply one don't whant control, another don't thinks I should handle things on my own... and that it's my life and what not, and the other don't care and only steps up when i'm in a state of overwhelming anger and rage.... then it's kinda like where both in control at the same time..... and well fighting over what i do.... with it being a bit stronger.

But I'm not the front-person-thingy!
I'm just a guy who somehow ended up here after being dead for a while. Hell, the body's not even my age or gender.

[azraile.livejournal.com]

owch..... well i think owch.... must be odd....

kitsu thinkgs you should be having fun with that though...lol

[walkerinthegrey.livejournal.com]

Oh dear God, at least it's not the kitsune stuck out front. The world would be doomed.

[azraile.livejournal.com]

i dought doomed...lol

I don't know what to say.... but hell i tried to put kitsu in the frunt once.....

*giggles a bit* now you have us cuirous though.... whats your age/gender and whats the bodies?

[walkerinthegrey.livejournal.com]

I'm 26-ish, male. Body's 18, female.
I mean, yes, being in the body of an 18-year-old chick does have its advantages, but... It gets odd.

[azraile.livejournal.com]

*luaghs a bit* yes....kitsu is defenlty wondering why you aren't just enjoying it LOL

She's sugesting you do stuff with it while they can't stop you, but nothing to perement or that would piss them off to much....

personly i can see you enjoying it... but not that.....

but ya... not so bad if you ask me..... don't worry about it unless it goes on to long... i mean if your often not in control more than a few hours or a day or something like that at a time.... and it's been a week.. then you might wana worry.... untill then just relax, it's probly temporay....

you want to switch,.force the one out to be faced with something not of his or her self,.an incident or image that triggers a change,.try to get into the thinking and mindspace of the other,...
from your comment,.it amazes me that some reveal their other's names so freely,.it could be dangerous.
hm,.

She goes by the body's name. I don't see that violating any security protocols... 'Sides, she talks about us all the time. Frequently as if we weren't all listening. Well, some of us listening, at least. Heh.

You have to give them incentive. People have slightly different biochemistry, even in a system like ours. You have to get the body into a compatible biochemistry. Sometimes when I'm having trouble getting to the front, the fellows cook up something I like to eat, or they put on a Neil Young record or offer to take me to the library.

I'd say sounds and smells. If Amanda likes apple blossoms, get some apple blossom perfume and spray it in the air. Things like that. Luck.

[sethrenn.livejournal.com]

Urk. Yes, had that lots. Mostly me because I was keeping a deathgrip on the front for four years, but Anthea, Shiu and Rui (and probably others I'm forgetting) have also suffered from it.

I tend to go with what ksol1460 already suggested-- find things that prompt them to the front, smells or music or books or whatever. This is why I always say triggers don't necessarily have to be a bad thing. And when one person has had exclusive control of the body for a long time, it can be hard to get the brain used to switching gears, but it's possible-- we can attest to that.

I have that problem all the time... it's very tiring. I'm the main frontrunner, and I'm here almost all the time even if we're co-fronting.

Try arranging with someone to take over while you're asleep? (This only works if people internal can be awake when your body is asleep.) Then take a nap, and whoever is going to take over might be able to slip past your sleeping stuff and wake the body up with them out.

we used to have that sorta problem, one of the kids would come out then she would get stuck out and i would want to be out and she would want me to be out but no matter what we tried we couldn't make it happen, usualy when that happened something liek a phone call or going to work would somehow force us to switch places again so i would be out and she could go do whatever she wanted to do inside
