Hello everyone, Something’s been bugging me for months now: Who am I ? As someone with DID, I don’t know who I am most of the time. I’m not talking about switching or alters but I am talking about me, Ama, the main host. For the past few months, I ask myself every day “what do … More The tombstone theory
Hello everyone, I’ve meant to write a blog a week at least and life goes in the way. As some may already be aware, despite having DID, I have my own business. Since I am feeling better, I am more productive and therefore busier than ever. I love blogging but it’s usually something that goes … More Where did the time go ?
I’m going on holiday on Sunday for a week. No no, I am not going somewhere sunny and fun, I’m going to see my parents. J. is coming with me of course (thank God, I don’t know what I would do without him there). Don’t make me wrong, I love my mum and my step … More Between 2 moods
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). Don’t hesitate to add your own … More National Multiple Personality Day
I love reading articles about mental health in general. Some are giving new insights, some are just interesting, some are stories of people with mental illnesses, some are thought-provoking, some are infuriating. 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
