There has been some discussion on whether mutiples exist or whether it's just ego states and I have to admit that I have found this a bit distressing. Kind of- Are you saying 'I don't exist.'

The fact is the range of PTSD to DID is different for everyone. Yes every multiple is different and the healing journey is different too.

Many years ago I didn't know what was happening to me, how could I, I was only a child and the dissociation saved me from great pain.

And when I walked into therapy over five years ago I was less than half a person, just a shadow. I am so much more than that now. Yes, I am a multiple, used to think of myself as a freak but now realise that it is something to celebrate? It saved my life, I wouldn't have survived without it and I'm still here- all of me.
