i (Sarah) am having complex but good feelings right now. Just got out of our second appointment with the new therapist. At one point he mentioned that there's a lot of fake DID online and i told him how i often wonder if this is actually real for me or if i am just making it up somehow. He told me that he thinks it's definitely real for me and that i do have some sort of dissociative disorder, and i started crying. On the one hand it felt like a relief to be affirmed by someone who specializes in this stuff, but i also told him that i didn't really want it to be true. i don't. But the evidence just keeps piling up and getting harder to ignore. So i am feeling both relieved and anxious about this at the same time, but mostly i just look forward to talking more with him. He also told us (he spoke to both me and Crow) that he is also a system, which i suspected but is nice to have confirmed.

“There is something wrong with me as a person”: Extreme negative beliefs about oneself are associated with trauma-related dissociative symptoms.
Journal of Psychiatric Research, 197, 250–257.

"Multiple regression analyses revealed that posttraumatic cognitions were significantly associated with dissociation after controlling for demographic variables, childhood trauma severity, and baseline #PTSD symptoms. Furthermore, decreases in posttraumatic cognitions over the course of treatment were significantly associated with simultaneous decreases in #dissociation severity."

"#Shame, a particular type of posttraumatic reaction, may serve as a key mechanism linking negative self-referential cognitions to dissociation."

Crow here.

This week, member 8 of the system showed up. It was [deadname], who was the host, I suppose, through the 80's and early 90's when our parents were trying to make us somehow not be trans. He took the brunt of the emotional abuse we got. When he came back he insisted that he was male and said he wished we'd never transitioned, but this morning "he" got to front for the first time since waking up and was amazed at how our body has changed. No beard! Different voice! Breasts! And the nether regions, of course! And suddenly the last vestiges of the old abuse fell away and she embraced who she always wanted to be.

So everyone say hello to Kate!

You know, I think at this point we have everyone. Drogo, Arwen, Reason, and Cindy have never hosted, but With Kate here finally, we've got a complete timeline of hosts through our entire life at this point. If there's anyone else lurking around still I'd be surprised.
Kate, me, Eris, and most recently Sarah have been the ones who ran the body over the years, and now here we all are together finally.

It's been a weird 3 months as everyone slowly came out of dormancy, but now I think the Avengers are finally assembled and we finally stand a chance against our collective Thanos that gave rise to us.

Après avoir défini ce concept, nous abordons les théories qui l'expliquent, ainsi que le cas des personnes qui n'ont pas de monde intérieur.

In a fit of dissociated verbage yesterday I conjectured that the reason we cannot find paleontological evidence of astronomical telescopes is because they were all taken away by those fortunate creatures who foresaw and escaped the asteroidal apocalypse.
