WePow, how wonderful for you!
We too have most of the walls down in the honeycomb and the words are flying back and forth amongst us all, for the most part. Also, so happy Mick and the others are freed up now too. It's good.
Yeah, we get the 'room for self' concept too, although more lately we like the input of the others. It helps us make more 'sane' decisions and choices so far, that is.
At first we did not like working together as it seemed we would need more hours in a day but now we see it takes a split second sometimes to get another's point of view. There is still more communicating to be done especially when outside stressor present but our therapist is saying stuff to us that helps there too. We almost feel that we are like her, not split anymore but with little divides that are appropriate.
The confusion is remainging about outside stuff though...so we still can't do it quite on our own yet.
Still, you have worked so hard these past weeks...thank you and thank your T's for us, okay, for taking such good care of you!

Our friend was able to help us break down the interal walls that Mick had. She had her own alters who had secrets. All of that happened Tue.
It is now Friday and I only have a slight sense of existing the past three days! It is a very strange feeling. We are all now in the house but the house has no walls. Everything is really sorta a mess. It makes me feel very sad in a way because I like things to be nice and organized. It makes me want to tell all the alters to just get out of the house so I can act like it is just one big room for me. That makes me realize that I feel like the DID was protection even from myself. Like I could not face who I felt I was. Deep shame issues I think.
The good thing is that we are all here and no one has lost it!
This has been more internal work than I even thought it would be.
It really has been exhausting and so hard. whine whine 
I go see T again today and we have to make our action plan for what will happen next. Right now he has me just sitting in the dust of emotions. And for the first time in my life, I am feeling all the alters kinda like at one time. No one is vanishing... we do not want anyone to go away. We just all are sharing and being open with who we are on the inside.
It is cool in some ways, but it is kinda very confusing because each one is really different. So we all have to kinda work together to see what we will do. |
