six months later and so many thing changing constantly...hard to keep up!

therapy and meds are so essential to remaining able to do this work. we often wish to give up one or both but to do so would be self sabotage and we've spent enough years mired in that trap.

current challenge is managing to handle all the adult things and life hassles w/o neglecting our whole self. over the years before awareness of things we were able to compartmentalize so easily....we can still do this but are aware of the high cost this coping mechanism brings.

housing when not in a position to own real estate tends to be a drag in this area. we keep looking for something affordable on disability. HAH! and then pigs flew.

how do others manage when not able to indulge in caring for each and every one that exists within? we're not setting aside time like we used to. this isn't the plan forever but until we're in new digs safely the possibility of lost time/hours/days is too great to allow.

again.....let's keep hugs outta this one and the dancing smilies to a minimum as they are not useful to the type of support we're seeking. we'd rather be honest and have folks not like it than have folks get the wrong impression. it would be great if anyone has actual experience of similar situations for a person living with DID. if not then we'll keep our eyes open elsewhere.

therapy and journals continue but the overall feeling is that any straying off the course of certain necessary tasks or goals will result in losing everything. yah fatalistic thinking we know. we're aware..........that's why we're posting asking for concrete examples from the lives of people living with a dx'd dissociative disorder.
