Only thing I like about DID/OSDD...

Is that I can sit in an empty room and be thoroughly entertained by what’s going on and being said in my head. Funny stuff.

(sitting in a room waiting @ doctors for past 15 minutes I think...feels like I just got here).

The lack of predicting is a funny thing getting use to the disruption is also a good thing. I have this term "do a room", and we covertly do things with our mind to project ways moments to work on alters to help to certain moments in the therapy. It is really easy to perfect certain practices that we need to help our disruptions especially in a amp up society.

I think to be thorough you never really know what folks read into the research and what moment are we going after. I think you have to drill that home we aren't in it to get an outer person for every alter like someone at a concert or the managers to company. I generally stab off the loneliness with doing certain things such as this being covert as possible. Sometimes though it surprising when music tags in certain ones are starting to sound just like stars. I want the validation but that can come with a price. For us it is easy to hear the elevator music folks are into big ear phones out. It helps with the dp/dr parts that are getting use to some calling on demand

Yep. Anybody watching might see us in a daze looking at everything giggling, talking out loud, staring at a wall....

We don’t have head homework....life is hard enough to focus on (we’re taking on as a head maintenance tech of one of many apartment complexes)...so a happy break sober is most funning.

I agree. I am self-entertaining.

I know. I didn't have a TV for two years and one of my neighbors simply
could not process it that I could live without one.

He looked around my apartment, all the art supplies and music and
about a thousand books, with a puzzled look on his face and said,
"Don't you get bored?"

I was still laughing when he left.

I'm glad the focus groups helped me understand if I added up all the turned off moments of life it was just like the same thing. No television for 24 months, it can be a answer but not ideal definitely not anything this life with out worth living is intended for. I think life is about art and it is artistry; can be very important. Sometimes our protector can be without the zest when feed up and with the answer can still be without the vigor just depleted like in a pit. I'm glad my creative side got to me soon enough

I often dont even notice when someone has turned the television off. I still hear voices and stories, and a lot of time I assume its coming from the tv. Then i see the tv off and realize it was all in my head again.

We play the t.v. Loud to drown out our mind. Plus...it over rides the tinnitus in both ears. Silence is deafening.

You have Tinnitus too? OMG, I have it bad. It's like having an old TV on one of the stations in the middle of the night that use to go all snowy and staic sounding. It NEVER stops! That plus the voices in my head. There have been times when I wanted to literally slam my head in a wall just to get everything quiet.

It’s like a high pitch frequency warble. Right now, it’s louder than the t.v. because I just woke up with a hangover.

I want to go back to bed, but the guys will get mad if we don’t show up for work....they kinda seem to like that kind of thing.

Eww, white noise, that sounds awful. I don’t think the guys hear it, but it’s like right in the middle of my head in stereo.
