Sorry for my ignorance... what is a road runner? Is the cartoon road runner really real?!?@ meeep meeep!!

I adore animals (such a good thread idea @Dark.Green.Feathers !)... we recently bought our first ever cat - I gave it as a present to my son - and I'm obsessed !! She's a siberian cat and she's also very clever and fairly easy to train. She comes when I call her and she follows me pretty much...

Very beautiful...I would love to have one love next me!

Thank you @Dark.Green.Feathers .. I'm sorry you're in a similar situation and that you recognise those feelings, i hope on the flip side it helps in some small way to know others can understand a bit of what you're going through on some level... this sounds so incrediblly difficult... away for...

Thank you @WinnieThePoohChris How to get this message across on the inside!? I can really relate to all of this. Particularly the second to last sentence. I'm sorry this happened to you. This takes alot of strength and courage. Well done you... although I imagine it really hasn't been easy at...

Yeah I think you're right. Peers can definitely help. I've always found this forum so helpful for that. Being able to turn to here when there is nowhere else in the world to go to. It's an incredible place to have. It's complicated in my case atm because of my parts having very different needs...

No need to be sorry for taking it any way. The way you took it was right.... and I really appreciate your reply. It really has helped me feel less alone so thank you.

But equally if you want to share any wisdom I'd love to hear it and I'm sure she will at some point too...

Thank you... I think she's just very alone. She wants to be able to talk about what's so heavy for her but even before getting to that point, it's like opening Pandora's box just thinking how to do that and the ramifications of it... she wants to be able to speak about things without the threat...

Thank you @WinnieThePoohChris Yes I'm wondering whether to do this or just leave it until T is back. I have parts who like to become very critical of me for even bringing up the idea of sharing or looking into it... parts which feel very bad... parts which are fearful and I'm not sure whether...

15 months in to specialist trauma therapy (dissociative disorder focused), and T and I are finally beginning to get to talking a bit more about the trauma..or at least parts of it.... a very small part. I was working with one of my teenage parts on writing what is remembered about being at my...

@recoveringfromptsd just wondering if you'd seen these - or if they may help? They way he explains it more or less is that partial DID is a more hidden / covert form of DID whereby symptoms are generally experienced more internally and there's less of an outward expression of it, so it's...

Should say I would love to hear from those not just with osdd but obviously did as well

Ummmmm oooh, I don't know?! I mean I guess the OSDD thing is a bit more specific as a diagnosis so I'm maybe wanting to hear from others with that diagnosis for strategies they've learned and tried out? I'm open to any feedback but I think those with experience with dissociative disorders would...

Wow, this hit home.... Anyway, I don't know how your managing to get on more @Renly or whether your system calendar helped etc. I'd be interested to hear. As the main host, I've tried so many times to get my shit together and get organised to approach therapy in a logical way. Then, with the...

Great that you thought to post.... Why not set yourself another literary challenge to do with DID/ Dissociative disorders? One which aims to capture a more true representation of what it's like to live with, rather than link it to sensational and ficticious characters? There's a REAL lack of...

I could have written your post word for word! I have vOSDD with amnesia. I've struggled with denial of my diagnosis and alot of dissociative symptoms. And much to my therapist's dismay (most likely!) I can wake up on a day, despite 2 x weekly therapy for over a year, and just fell/ think that I...

Thank you @Dark.Green.Feath and @whiteraven - interesting to hear 2 quite different approaches... Loved the idea of emotional constipation! I can really relate to this as I'm sure lots of people can... I'm currently in a situation where I've had to move back in with my mum temporarily for a...

I have OSDD. Been diagnosed for 8 years. Only started specialist therapy for dissociative disorders 14 months ago. I do find it difficult accepting my diagnosis. But I can also see how that in itself is part of an elaborate internal system to keep me from addressing the trauma and realising the...

I'm shocked by some of the comments on this thread as many others are. I'm so sorry Rachel that this is all going on around you when you just shared for understanding and compassion... I'm so sorry this happened to you... I'm not in your dad's head so I can't say what he was thinking though I...

I hear you on so much of this I really do... Wishing you well @Ecdysis 😊

Hey @Ecdysis I really really recognise the place you're at... I've been there myself... having been through this a number if times though, I think like others here, it's given me opportunity for reflection... I've highlighted @Sideways post because essentially all the points here were the...

3 arms for sure... think how much more you could get done! Sky dive or bungee jump? 😳

I'm so sorry I didn't reply @Sideways And @Movingforward10 ... I'm always very grateful for your responses and find them so helpful.. I'm just very overwhelmed with managing everything at the moment and my brain over loaded...I want to respond when I can... 😊

Scared. Misunderstood. Completely alone. Bad. Nervous. Sad.
