yeah - we're at a point where, when overwhelmed we all just stop talking, and too bad for whoever is around. everyone wanted to talk to me after the presentation (I was teaching therapists about DID because NO ONE here has a clue!) and with people milling, questions being asked that I said I would not take questions afterward, and my needing to get materials picked up, and the system needing to GET OUT OF THERE! we just stopped talking (and I talked to little one internally), packed, and ran for the door - with the therapist running after me with more questions. Eventually she figured out I was not present and let me go. lol
ahhh the joys of DID.
