in a response to a post, [livejournal.com profile] cirape said:
I view nonfunctional multiplicity as something with missing time and system members being unable to communicate and the like.

conveying in words i could not find, exactly what i have been going through...
talked w/my psychologist this week about it and he's suggesting we keep track of this and asked about letters written, emails sent, things bought, places gone w/out my forefront knowledge...
i told him this had been happening for years, but i blew it off as "forgetting" because people DO forget things from time to time...i mean, after all, don't most people talk to themselves in their head, right?
heh, it's only when my daughter tells me "you know you have a british accent, right?" and "umm, when did you forget to know how to make coffee?"
cuz that happens to everyone, right?
uh, no...
it's only been within the past 3 years that it has become more and more prevelant, which confuses and scares me to no end...people at work have said things of concern and i brush that off as having a bad day, or i'm feeling emotional or whatever comes out of my mouth that makes sense to them and they walk away - satisified w/the answer they've been given only to leave me befuddled as to just exactly what was said...

system members being unable to communicate and the like.
i read this and thought - oh yeah, well, THE LIKE part got me in the emergency ward w/about 3 stitches on one wrist and bandages on the other because apparently there is a sullen 16 yr. old boy that gets angry quite easily and then gets self destructive...most of the time it's contained and curtailed, but sometimes - well, sometimes it just happens...
i was there in the hospital all day...then i saw my psychologist that afternoon...

so he asked for copies of things that had been written and/or sent and such and i asked my friend to help me w/that because the last time i thought to do that - the paperwork got lost and my friend said,
"maybe there's someone who DOESN'T want anyone to know at all"
and i brushed it off as "forgetting"...

i've come to find that when i "go" somewhere else or however that can be explained, i get this bone-chilling cold shiver, and it's slightly numbing and not all that pleasant...usually happens when i feel stressed and/or threatened...
what happens to you when you "change"?

i've taken a break from posting in my personal journal because every time i put in the attempt, it's gone...nothing gets posted, not even jokes or pics or whatever - so i took a break...someone wrote a nice note and that was that...sometimes it bothers me, but i'm going with it for now...i've been in other communities and lj's of friends, but nothing like being here where i feel better...well, as good as i can feel...

anyhow, i don't know where i'm going w/this - but thanks for letting me ramble...

i was just wondering...

how many others here aren't quite human?   i mean, i know it happens, but-  i'm not human.  i don't know what i am.  heather drew a really nice picture of me in our journal (as soon as our furniture gets here, i'm sure she'll scan it and post it somewhere).  but does anyone else here have non-human features?  also, does anyone else experience a relatively smooth front transition? heather, ceri, and i have no problem switching around for some reason.

thanks in advance!

Just out of curiosity, how do other systems switch fronter? Do you have triggers, or prearranged times, or switch according to the situation, or what?

Edit: It seems the accepted word for 'deliberate trigger' is 'hook', meaning something used to bring someone to the front when needed. We use something of this sort and were wondering if anyone else does.

Quick intro - I've been here before but I'll re-introduce myself. I am fmale/19 and I have two others with me, one named Toby who is 12-19/male and Alex who is 18-19/male.

Okay so the other day Toby came through and I resided to rest for a bit, as I was in a strange mood. My girlfriend said I had been doing weird things (before he came out), like I wouldnt talk to her much and I avoided shadows all day and eventually ran back to our house and had a panic attack.

A little later Alex came out and had sex with my girlfriends new 'other' casie, and then they both resided back, bringing Toby forward again. However I was nowhere to been seen and Toby became very upset that he couldnt 'find' me. My girlfriend got very upset and didnt speak to Toby, and Toby tried to hurt himself to take away the anger that he couldnt find me.

Toby remained forward for almost a day and I fe;t myself coming forward occasionally, but I had this horrible feeling that my personality was not 'complete'. I think some of it may have broken off, as I now have yet ANOTHER new boy named Hayden who seems very naive and frightened.

Does anyone know what is going on? I'm pretty scared that someday I could just loose myself completly....

Hi Everyone
I've been lurking in the background for a couple of weeks just testing the waters.
My therapist has diagnosed me as DID and has had conversations with someone in me. I'm struggling to accept it. Parts of me are embracing it. I don't really remember the whole session very well apart from being there. I see "pictures" of people that are inside of me but i can't ever focus on them. Does anyone else have that?
Many occasions i seem to "switch" and it is noticeable and i know in myself that i have done it. I thought everyone was like this but i know different.
Anyway, i lose memories and forget things often but when i concentrate hard enough (and get a headache) the memory or thing i was trying to remember just hits. Does that happen to anyone else?
I've gotten a headache just writing this and visiting. I get them when i lurk and just look stuff up on MPD/DID.
Thanks if you can help.

Hi Everyone.

My name is Ophelia. i am a multiple, although i am unsure as to exactly how many there are or all of there names. i know i switch and different people come out. sometimes i am aware of this (like being in the passenger's seat) and sometimes i am unaware until someone else tells me. i basically have a situation that happened and i am really unsure how to deal with it. i thought maybe you could be of help. i was recently having an intimate experiece with my boyfriend when i freaked out and switched. i did not really remember what happened, but the next morning i woke up and everyone was in shambles. from what i gather, my boyfriend who stopped having sex with me when i flipped out, was complaining to autopilot (who he knew was out) that he was horny. autopilot said that they would get a girl for him that didn't care about being fucked because everythign bad happened to her anyway. well, i think AP got this girl out and he had sex with her. now, i don't know the age of this girl. maybe AP and this girl were testing him to see if he could be trusted... at any rate, should i ask the boyfriend about this? i am not even entirely sure if this is how it happened. should i be mad at him if this is how it happened? The whole thing is just kinda crazy and makes me wonder what we were doing....sorry if i sound crazy. please don't call me nuts!!!

cross-posted to [livejournal.com profile] hard_of_hearing, [livejournal.com profile] multiplicity, [livejournal.com profile] plural_living, [livejournal.com profile] synaesthesis, and [livejournal.com profile] oihanen.

this covers a broad range of topics, but it is about hearing. plurality and synaesthesia play roles, though, for any who feel they can give advice. it would be much appreciated. we've been noticeably hard of hearing to ourselves since we were 12. we're 17, now, and it's only gotten worse. but depending on who's front, hearing changes. not drastically, but everyone thought we were making it up until a friend pulled us out of traffic we didn't hear behind us. some people still do, though. but who cares. screw them. the best explanation we've got for now is that the problems are "sporadic" without revealing to the physician community that we're batshit crazy. we're normally paranoid about doctors, but since communication and control is better, we're trying to get body glitches fixed while the peace lasts. i've already been to the ob/gyn without clocking her. i feel accomplished.

details: may be more plurality-oriented. )


and that about wraps it up. sorry if it seemed like i strayed off topic, but i've got a lot of people to cover and compensate for. hope that wasn't a horrible first post. we've got our first appointment with an audiologist in nashville on the 2nd. wish us luck? i have no idea how to proceed with explaining all of this except for the "sporadic" bit. even then, there's the chance that the dr will say it's just our imagination. until next time..

I've had a boyfriend for about two and a half months now. He's been the first serious boy I've felt close to in years. He's good to me.

We were having sex the other night and I decided to try something new. I became more aggressive. My disposition changed.

He sat up in bed afterwards, gripping his pillow, looking like a virgin all over again. He looked scared and confused. I asked him if everything was okay and he seemed fine. He described his feelings like this:

'You scared me. I couldn't tell if you were the same person. You changed into someone I've never seen before. Even your voice changed. It made me nervous. I don't know what to expect with you.'

I tried to warn him that it happens. Then, last night, we were having sex and he encouraged me to be more aggressive. I tried. And I tried. It didn't quite feel right. Something was off. I almost started crying during sex. I had to try really hard to hold it back. I was on top and I was in control, but I didn't feel in control.

Afterwards, I realized I was in a severe dissociative trance. I got up and went to the bathroom to try to gather myself and clean up. I kept shaking and jumping- scared of nothing. I couldn't stop shaking. He held me and I cried in his arms. I haven't cried in anyone's arms in years. Many years. The worst part is that I didn't know what I was crying about. I couldn't figure it out. I'm lost.

The first time, I was proud to give him such pleasure. I was glad that he could see another side of me. The second time, I felt frustrated with myself and towards the end, I felt I had regressed to something I hadn't been in touch with in a long time. I felt guilty for crying on him. And I still held back. I only let out a little of what crying I needed to. I didn't want to scare him with the pain I hold inside. He wouldn't recognize me again if I did.


ps. Sorry, inner_ensemble, I stole your icon. :/ It's too perfect.
