I am having alot of trouble IRL lately with referring to myselves as we.

Thats not an issue when im around here, but at work and elsewhere it becomes an issue because I say things like, "sure, we'll drop that off at the end of the day" and then of course I get either some off hand joke about having multiple personalities - oh, if they only knew.

Anyone else have problems with this

sure there are those who look at us funny when "we" slips past our lips but that's NOT OUR PROBLEM!

we've enough to handle in life w/o taking on what others are thinking, potential thoughts and the like. of course this is easier now that our major depression is medically controlled and we are medication and therapy compliant which helps the irrational looped thinking that comes about when we're more depressed or anxious. we're sure we'd be much more concerned with what others may or may not be thinking if we weren't taking better self/selves care and utilizing the help available to us from our support team of professionals and personal friends.

as for problem? only a problem if it is allowed to become one. foooey to other ppl who cannot or willnot expand their minds enough to include trauma survivors who were creative enough to survive by extreme dissociative experiences.

not everyone will understand or wants to. finding out sooner who those ppl are and shedding them from one's life can help.

as for the "jokes" about multiple personalities.........test the waters with a serious answer about trauma when a joke arises again.......see how funny they find it then. if they're intelligent and compassionate they'll quickly see the error of their ways and chalk up multiple jokes with other such stale unfunny ones as handicapped, racial, ethnic, etc. just no place for that kind of humour in the workplace or around mixed company.
