what am I thinking?

One of my alters likes to shop, a lot!! I keep coming home and finding new CD's and new clothes. And it wouldn't be so bad I suppose if it weren't for the fact that the stuff wasn't so terrible! I mean some of the CD's are rap music from the 90's and bizzaro jackets and stuff. What is this person thinking? Plus where am I getting this stuff? This is really embarassing too because my husband comes home and he's staring at this stuff and asking me where the money came from to buy it all. At least usually I have the reciepts! One of my most odd buys was a pair of leather pants, all tight and crunchy, I really hope I didn't wear them out in public. No offence to anyone who likes leather pants, I just don't look good in tight things.

Oh no, abbidy!

Thank goodness you have the receipts. Try not to think about wearing any of that stuff and concentrate on returning it.

Hugs,

Jan

So sorry Abbidy, it can be frustrating spending money on items that you feel uncomfortable about having and cant relate to. I agree with Jan, hope you can return them if you feel the need to.

LOL happens to me too. where can you find things of days gone by? - thrift shops, good will, st vincent du paul, antique shops.

what were they thinking.. not LOL when I am in my memory pieces I am acting out that memory content . if the memory content is wearing or buying that type of clothing thats what I end up buying while dissociated.

I used to throw it all out but then decided to use it to my advantage by matching the clothes, music and so on to the drawings, journal entries and year books, family photos you name it.

By doing that I got a good idea of what age I was when this or that piece of memory happened and so on. Its amazing how much a person can learn about their self just by following the clues they leave behind from their dissociating eppisodes.

have the same problem over here.
