((((Melissa and Elizabeth)))))
The fact that you can still use "I" Statements is good. It will help you to blend more with those around you.
Elizabeth it may feel phoony to right now to fill in the shoes of Melissa while she is within the whole. But you would not be the one pulled out if the whole did not have faith in you. When you learn to trust all those with in the part that has the best ability will be the most likely to be pulled out to take over. For those of us that can acknowledge that we need to work towards a single goal. That is when you will learn to fallow through to achive the goals as a whole unit. Just be patient with each other as you all comes to terms with the pains of the past. WE will be here sitting with you as you move down this new road.

My name is Elizabeth, I am the "mature" part of Melissa. She gave me a name to better identify me as an emotion. So...I'm more of an emotion, not an identity. I hope this makes sense.

I am out a lot right now because Melissa is going through a very rough time. Suicidal thoughts, hopelessness. It's like I've been "pulled out" in order to keep us stable. I've been making many attempts to do things that are normal and good so that I seem OK, even though I'm not. For the past few days I've been exercising, walking, going to class...but it feels all wrong. It feels phony.

I am not sure what to do. I just felt like posting might help. Maybe I could get a different perspective.

Thanks,

Elizabeth
