Any Other Multiples Out There? Mps / Did

[Ceridwen]

Hello,

we're new here.

And multiple, hence the first person plural. Although we've been in therapy for years & are about to finish, & are pretty integrated /dithering somewhere between 'we' and 'I' a lot, obviusly being multiple is a big part of who I am / we are.

We've only met one other multiple person!!

And were wondering if there are any others on here...

Hi Ceridwen,

Welcome to AS. I do have DID and there are a few others here as well. I was diagnosed almost two years ago. I also am struggling with the "we" and "I", and am still in the discovery/acceptance stages. I hope you look around and post when you feel ready. Feel free to pm me.

Hugs,

Kelly

Hi Crid, Welcome to AS.

Hi everyone, and thanks for the welcomes

Will have a look around & calm down a bit & see....

@ Daydreamer, DID/MPS (we prefer the S for Syndrome to the D for Disorder...) is about having several people ('personalities'), from two to over one hundred, in one body... extreme form of dissociation, you kinda split yourself into many bits to survive the abuse. And then you have to work on establishing communication & moving from the survival bit to living

, which is where we're now...

We find it quite hard to go back into 'civilian' life, so to speak, & not still behave / feel as though we were still in the war zone of our childhood. ery difficult to give up the survival mechanisms, to give up distrust. We're really struggling with that. And to accept that the past is past and gone, & that nobody will ever make it right again; and to turn my/our back on it & look at teh present & towards the future instead.

*sigh*

I never thought the good life woudl be so hard.

Welcome Ceridwen

We are multiple. We don't post very often though mostly read, sometimes we chat. It just depends on who is out at the time and what they are doing it is very nice to meet you though
