Hey, don't be scared. Sometimes it is fun and sometimes it is scarry. I will not lie to you. I denied it for a very long time, finally one day my T said, I have too much proof and too many different handwritings for you not to be so. So stop denying it and I said ok. I really don't know how many. you haft to know them and sometimes let them play (esp. if they are little). I have some that paint, some like clay, some teddy bears, some get terrified, and the list goes on.
Be honest with your close friends cause they can help you out a lot. If you switch often like I do, sometimes it is at the wrong place. Once someone stopped me from trying to run out the door and run home. The problem was I was 7 and my home wasn't next door and their was a freeway outside. She litterly blocked the door and made me sit down. Then she calmely explained that I couldn't run home - my house wasn't there, and that I'd get hurt.
Plus, friends, true ones, can answer when u just need someone to care. No don't tell everyone but you do need some good friends. I have some that if I type in 911 they know I am in trouble and your system can all know how to do a code of somekind.
Plus, i journal and let them talk it out in a journal - esp. when they wont let me sleep.
I hope this helps
