new to DID, but think i'v known for awhile. have a T since oct. wants me to list all of who i think i am. Everyone has parts that are left behind, and pick up more as they grow, don’t they? Yes, there are different moods, lots of memory loss, ect. ect. also answers some questions along the way. There are to much over lapping areas to really tell the differences some times. Just finding it hard to accept that it is possible to be one whole, yet separate, and not aware of some of it and what they do or are .like. I am me and only me, other wise it aint real. Its like looking in a mirror that has a lot of cracks and is distorted. A reflection that aint really real. heres just an idea of where i'm at now.

WHO AM I?
Who am I I am infant Born of sin Dirty and stained at birth
Who am I I am toddler Yearning for love Learning indifference and fear
Who am I I am young child Finding love Paying the price with pain
Who am I I am teenager Rebellious and stubborn Full of anger and rage
Who am I I am young adult Caring and sensitive Not ready to die
Who am I A soul reborn With scars to hide From life to death Without missing a stride Who am I I am armor I am husk I am soul
Who am I I am many Yet I am one I am me
BUT WHO AM I

THE ROPE
the rope once strong bound by desire strengthened by love held together by determination the rope once strong begins to fray weakened by fear pulled down by pain the rope once strong pulled far to long now a single thread ready to break
the rope once strong is no more

I AM
I have sight But I am blind
I have hearing But I am deaf
I have voice But I am mute
I have intelligence But I am a fool
I have heart But I am numb
I knew happiness But I am sad
I knew love But I am empty
I have society But I am alone
I have health But I am shattered
I have life But I am dead

Welcome shatteredmirror! I completely get the not accepting the whole yet separate. It is a major function of dissociation to hide its own existence.

Thank you for sharing so much of what you are facing right now. Your words show you've been doing some hard work in your thearpy. Good for all of you for working on this despite the challenge of denial.

Look forward to hearing more from any and all of you when ready.

Wow! Your writing is amazing. I don't have DID, but I can relate so much to what you've said here. I find it hard to sort out and understand who I am, too.

new to DID, kinda (long) wishing you the best of luck in your therapy, and your life's path...

Hello. I do not think we know all of our parts at all. Do you write in a diary? That can be fun. jj

You have put a lot of thought and contemplation into your work.

Thank you for sharing this with us. It is difficult to do this at times.

just wanted to say thanks, was at another forum for awhile before i found this one, this seems to be more what i think i was looking for. needed to be able to talk to others with the same kind of problems to kinda help me understand all this.. think what i hate most is when i'm in the middle of saying something or doing something, then have absolutly no idea what is was. or forgetting where something is that has been in the same spot foe eons. it helps to read what you feel and think, and how others work through things. thanks.
