TY RM, I know sometimes we all get wrapped up in the bad things that happen to us being MPD/DID. For me I know if I can laugh at myselves a little bit I can take being MPD a little better. Somehow it helps me to cope. It's upsetting at the time. But I have to remember my pieces are doing what they can to protect or comfort themselves. I was upset recently when a piece was sucking the thumb in the middle of Wal-Mart. But my T said, "Well she was just comforting herself, can you be mad at her for wanting that?" Just making me stop and think. I can't be mad about that. Have to learn to love them for who they are and not what they do.
