What made you choose your username?

I'm female and I do a lot of work with wildlife.

So many of these are really cool!

Eliza Jane is my adorable, awesome greyhound. She makes me happy.

Best,
EJ

P.S. Adel, I love "In treatment!"

When I first joined PC, I was just starting to really FEEL emotions. It was as if I was going on auto-pilot for years, walking on eggshells, cautiously, getting through each day, living only in fear......

....Then, I made some drastic changes to my life that caused a flooding of memories and emotions that I had (and have) trouble allowing myself to feel and work through.

Hence, mixedup_emotions! MUE, for short.

Alone in the world is just how I feel 90% of the time. feel people do not want to be involved with me in any way.

Cool I always wondered what kind of meaning your username might hold...oddly not as deep a meaning as I thought it might be.

I like this! This is a cool mental visual of rating. I'm going to steal this idea! Thanks

Mine isn't very interesting. I really like turtles and I like the color blue, and it also says how I feel a lot of the time. I don't know why I spelled turtle the way I did. It's just something different.

A while back I went through an intense period of self-examination. I eventually got to the point where I realized that if you can't love yourself, how can you love others? I was panicky for a while, because I didn't love the self I was discovering. I thought, what if you dont love who you really are? Then what? But then I had a really powerful dream that there was a "real self" that I loved, and that self took the form of a bunny in my dream. It was lovable and helpless and unable to defend itself, like a real bunny. About all that bunnies are good at is to run away, really fast. I didn't know who I was, but I knew that somewhere was a real me that i loved. Eventually I found it. So I'm in the process of discovering "the bunny within", the real me that is very vulnerable but that I love very much. I'm trying to coax the real me out, but it's pretty well hidden and protected.

a persons initials and what i would say if they ever found out...
jbm-omg

i like what "can't explain" said. you have to fast, tricky and protect yourself.

i am protected. but would be so found out.... if they even peeked.

may need to change my name now.....yikes

Wingless bird with hairy feathers. Seemed right - still does. I am a member of the species but lack some of the defining traits. And I like the word "apteryx". Also, like the apteryx in the comic strip B.C. I look awkward and say awkward things.

I was listening to Harvest Moon by Neil Young the minute is signed up to this site... Plus, I love the moon!

Lola was a show girl, and that song reminds me of younger years for some reason,and she needed a last name.

Mine is pretty much self explanatory. I am just trying to get by on what I got. Just trying to make lemonade out of lemons.

Hey, Emptty, what about yourself?

Tru, use away I hope it helps

I consider my insiders, as I have DID, as "my angels", sometimes

I also feel like we can be very 'stormy', stuck in a storm or moody. There is rain often, thunder and lightning sometimes. Rain/stormy situations make me think of depression but also of peace, which is often how we feel.

Hence, stormyangels.

I wanted something non-discriptive of my IRL self. I like dolphins and I'm a female.

I picked Shiny Things because shiny things catch my attention. Then I realize that no amount of shiny things can make me happy. They haven't yet, anyways.

I chose mine.. because I am confused and dazed ...... Real to life for me.

I chose mine because of a conversation I had with my t, after she loaned me a book about archetypes and goddesses and stuff like that and there was a 'goddess wheel' in there along with a quiz and when I took it, the results were strongly Artemis. But, no one else knows this but me & t so my Artemis is hiding within. Although lately, not hiding so much anymore!!!

btw I'm enjoying reading the responses!

I had another username "Suratji" that means "Little Soul" in Sanscrit but I changed it because I thought I might be identified too easily. So, looking out window and seeing beautiful blue sky, I chose this name. Only later did I realize, by some comments, that it could also mean feeling 'blue' but that wasn't my intention.

Oops! I parsed it as Miss Wimmy. I thought maybe your real name was Wilma.

I thought you were a Led Zeppelin fan!

I believe Dolphin and Wolf are two of my spirit animals. (well, I have always felt a huge connection to these two beautiful creatures). I thought Wolfin also sounded like a smaller variety of wolf, like an elfin creature. Something mystical. 3 is thrown in there because it's my favorite number.
So yay! And I really love my profile name too.

Enjoying reading these!
