hey kiya,anybody heard from rhapsody?didnt rhapsody start this thread?oh well, i'm gettin a whole bunch outa this thread so i'm gonna keep on relaten.
i dont drink or do drugs-even meds.i have spiritual practice,herbs and a dialy exercise regime followed by a healthy diet.its just me,all of me and there hasbeen many days were i have spent in the fetal position and all i could do was/is talk to the voices in my head or internally communicate.my episodes have dramatically decresed in time as compared to when i started,with internal communication, everyday, along with my ibs.
i have been in intense outpatient therapy for over four years.
i see a doc and she sees me on a sliding scale because i do the work,and i show up even when she dosent.
now, my youngins turned into youngin and he has slowed down.
when i first started the work,i used to say(he used to say,through me of course)the best thing about being grown up is havin ice cream and m&ms for dinner,and i(we)did for a few years.gummi bears by the pounds(thats a big bag).
through internal communication,my youngin started to be under the care of my female part or internal adult supervision.i started eatin right.a healthy diet,inwhich rolled over to another part who is responsable.
the cause of d.i.d. is trauma of course.each of the parts has one or more
trauma related issue.i had to find the courage(spiritual)to stand up and face these traumas one at a time and i have and still am. my cramps and belly music are gone from earlier today because i new who had them and he is facing his traumas right now on another forum with trigger icons.
as i write again, progress.with a part on another forum, my eyes are finally starting to straighten.the part i am speaking of is a good guy. i terribly despise when he takes over the body.i am just willing to do whatever it takes....pain(emotional)is a heck of a motivater.
