I have many things that make me a unique person.

one - I have DID. Not everyone that is abused has the ability to separate their memories of experiences and then close them off into the unconscious level of thinking, where those memories remain unremembered until working with a therapist on memory recall work. If I hadn't had that ability I would most likely not be here today.

two - I consider myself to be a writer. No matter what is going on I can pick up a writing tool and something to write on and as long as I don't concentrate on the machanics of writng (spelling, grammar and so on) the words just somehow go down on that paper or computer program as easily as can be one minute there is nothing and the next a complete sentence and thought down in paragraph or poem.

Another thing that I have come to find is unique is that I plan/develop and execute my own therapy program and in doing so end up accomplishing years and years of therapy work beyond what a normal therapy client would do. Many times I have shocked my treatment professionals because they have never experienced someone going so above and beyond the basics of things. And even then the things that I do do with the basics is so mind boggling untraditional it throws my treatment professionals into the most funny reactions of shock when they discover what I am doing. and that I am alot of times way ahead of them to the peoint where the therapist ends up needing time to play catch up with me instead of me play catch up to the therapist. Its definately a cool feeling to be ahead of a therapist instead of the therapist on me about things.

I am musically inclined. hand me an instrument and I can most times play it.

But the one thing that I think makes me very unique is that dispite my premature birth, having two terminal diseases, multiple suicide attempts alot of which required emergency services and the abuse I went through in my life time I am still here today. a person can be born but life is not guarenteed.

I know that each day could very well be my last so regardless of what is going on I try to see the humor in the situation and remember that the problem at hand is only a small portion of my life. Alot of people that I know get bogged down and stuck in their problems, me I take the problem apart and make it work for me instead of against and sucking me down. life is too short for me to get stuck in quicksand for I would miss out on so many enjoyable things if I just focused on the negative problematic thing.
