yeah there is hope...my life is good, i am happy most of the time, most of my peeps seem to have disappeared on their own & i have no desire to lose the few that are left. always have felt that way. my little group works well with each other...i enjoy the view & feelings the kid brings, the wisdom the older one does, etc...it works for me...

actually DID helped me manage thru my work as well..i could multi-task like no one else..which was important. i also could deal with the lost kids, etc. a crisis? no problem...i could think like 7 people at once...emotions didn't get in the way unless i wanted them to.

with a good therapist you can heal..if you want to..others on this board have...it takes time & desire. healing is different for each of us. we each have goals that are unique just like our systems. i knew i was a multiple (only didn't call it that) from a very young age)..some people don't learn that until a therapist tells them as an adult.

but you can heal...it can be scary & hard work..but it can be done.
