Ok it’s probably old news for a lot of people but I love what Toby Allen does. His “monsters” have been created to demystified mental illnesses. I think they are also a good way to explain a specific mental illness to someone else. Those monsters live inside some of us, they are invisible but are … More Art and D.I.D
I am part of a couple of Facebook group for DID. I don’t participate a lot but I love most of the discussion. One grab my attention this week. Someone posted a question about having 2 hosts and not knowing about it. I replied that my system is composed of 2 hosts. That person then … More My 2 hosts
Integration has been on my mind for quite some time now. On one hand, I think it could be good to be “whole” but my heart (and head) goes more to the “no” for integration. Let’s see it that way: I always lived with parts, I don’t know life without them, I love them as … More Integration isn’t for everyone
Like many I hate hospitals. I spent my childhood in hospitals because of problems with my ears. This week, I had to go back to hospital just for the day because of a stomach ulcer (due to stress) and I was freaking out. When I told the nurse and the doctor that I was nervous, … More Hospitals suck
Today we celebrate Multiple Personality Disorder. I didn’t create the day, it’s a celebration that take place every 5th of March. I think it’s a great way to create awareness around a disorder that isn’t well known and understood. I’m going to share facts about DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder).

All that to say, I would like once a week to share with you the articles that I enjoyed (or not) reading, those … More Top 5 articles of the week #1
OK…. heu… I’ve been in therapy with Dr.R since April 2010. She is the one that diagnosed me with DID. Ana & Anabelle – The challenging alters We did a big work with Treize and Emily years ago but Ana and Anabelle proved to be the most “difficult” ones. I’m not trying to undermine what … More Last 2 therapy sessions
As usual, a lot is going on in my head. For many years now, I’ve been a strong believer that you need to talk about mental illness to educate people. I wanted to help others by opening myself to them. 18 years ago, I started to see a therapist for self harming and depression. … More A bit of a change
I promised myself at the beginning of the year to write a blog post at least once a week. The thing is, right now, I don’t want to blog but somehow I know it would help me. This week isn’t a good week. Don’t ask me why, if I knew I would do something about … More This week… Meh
Living with DID seem both simple and complex. From the outside, I have a pretty simple and easy life for anyone else. The first 3 days of the week, I try to work from home, I am building 2 businesses (I’m trying at least). I wake up at 7.45am and drive J. to the train … More A day in my life with my DID
