Thank you, yes wet but not a scratch.

yes asking a little at a time is a great way to do it.

glad you liked the pedicure, tomato soup works wonders too.

Yes as you can tell I use alot of huimor and turning the down side into the upside. The program I am on is a 24/7 program of journaling, artwork, crafts, projects, workbooks, relaxation techniques, what I call awareness therapy, my therapist called it grounding -being aware at all times what things look like feel like, taste like, smell like, sounds like, like right now I am sitting here typing and at the same time paying attention to how the chair I am sitting on feels like, actively hearing anf following my cats snoring and the click of my typing, how the light from the hall way is shining on the screen making a type of rainbow and drinking a glass of strawberry kiwi juice that tastes slightly sour not as much as a lemon and with my foot I am rubbing tmy cats back he feels so soft, hes a manx (tail less) , angora long haired cat.. anyway with doing all this various forms of therapy with out humor and turning down to up could be over whelming. so my therapist who helped me put together this program and I made a point to find the humor in DID. My friend too. When she took ne to the doctors after I got hit by a car biking I had to have exrays done. I went in and had them done on my knee. coming out to the waiting room near the ex ray department where she was she said joking-done already? I didn't hear any screaming. I looked at her and said I don't scream I dissociate. knowing full well since getting hit I had been losing time left and right and she was on the recieving end of my dissociating. She laughed realizing I was aware at the moment and said well at least it wasn't margo. Apparently when I am in the margo memory state I am rude mouthy and everything in between, and my friend had quite an experience with margo to the point where she contacted my therapist. I could for instance curl up and cry everytime something like stepping on a sandwich happened but when they crying and not dealing was done theres still that peanutbutter and jelly sandwich stuck to my foot so I figure why not enjoy being able to feel and know its there when four years ago I couldnt.
