I've been going thru so much of late that I'm just trying to keep my thoughts as light and pleasant as I can keep them. If I stop to think about all my health problems I'm facing right now, my mind starts going and thinking of the bad things. I meet with a support person I was matched up with on friday. She's been great and we are really getting along. Been great having someone to call when reality hits me to hard.
Ok, I'm heading into feeling sorry for myself again. But I was thinking about my MPD/DID a little while ago after reading another post. And I was reminded of the weird things that happen being MPD. I remember not long after being dx'ed that some of my shoes went missing. I could like only find just one shoe for every pair of shoes I owned. It was the weirdest thing. Turned out that a young alter was upset about us leaving the house and didn't want us to leave. So she hid just the one shoe from each pair. Thinking that if we didn't have any shoes to wear out we couldn't leave. At the time it happened I was very upset and thought I was really losing my mind. But now 5 years later I just have to laugh and say what a smart cookie she was to think of hiding our shoes like that. I was wondering if any one else has any funny stories about their alters? I'm hoping we can all smile a little bit.

Cute story! Nice to relax a little bit.
Love,

That is clever of her to have figured that out. Would have driven me loopy as well!

I'm not in a space of being able to find amusement in our past but hopefully will not be in such a funk later. But do I ever have a couple of silly ones that didn't make sense until I better understood.

Thank you for sharing your funny with us

I am very glad to hear you've been matched up with a support person. That's terrific news Monty!

Your post in the Fun forum about yer stuffies was great. Got me thinking about how wonderful Sesame St. was and is. Glad some of my childhood lessons came from giant puppets! Really!! Plus I know some awesome songs that make the kids laugh as they are very dated Sesame St. songs. I say oldies but goodies.

C is for cookie that's good enough for me. Damn that is great widsom!! *lol*

TY RM, I know sometimes we all get wrapped up in the bad things that happen to us being MPD/DID. For me I know if I can laugh at myselves a little bit I can take being MPD a little better. Somehow it helps me to cope. It's upsetting at the time. But I have to remember my pieces are doing what they can to protect or comfort themselves. I was upset recently when a piece was sucking the thumb in the middle of Wal-Mart. But my T said, "Well she was just comforting herself, can you be mad at her for wanting that?" Just making me stop and think. I can't be mad about that. Have to learn to love them for who they are and not what they do.

Sesame St. is one of the pleasant memories we have. It was always there to make us smile when nothing else could.
I hope you can get out of your funk soon. But I understand how it is. Trying to get past mine. But it seems it's dragging on and on and on............. you know the rest. Try and do something good for yourself today.
