Thankfully there are few of my friends now who find it weird that I’m not always the most girly of girls. I imagine people who knew me in England might find it surprising as I used to be the sort who wore skirts and dresses most of the time, and I had a pink and [...]

I had written this up on livejournal last night and thought it would serve as a good illustration of how things tend to work in our head; especially now that we’re able to operate more co-consciously once more.
Me: Gods, I’m tired…
Max: I’ll do it!
Me: uh…okay…*gets shoved back*
Max: Do do doooo….
*insert an hour or so [...]

This post has been on the burner for a while. I wish I had been able to finish it before Dollhouse was done with; but alas these things don’t always happen the way we wish. Dollhouse is one of several shows that’s given us a lot of food for thought about ourselves and the way [...]

I went checking back through the archives on livejournal to verify a few things which have become hazy. The official hypnosis session happened on the solstice last year (21 June 2009) though there had been prep-work for a few days before then, as I mentioned before.
We, of course, discussed things with our husband before [...]

It’s difficult to comprehend the nature of my existence some times. “I” have been on Earth 29 years at this point, yet I know for a fact I didn’t exist this way before June of last year. It makes things confusing.
If any of you have been following on since the beginning of this blog [...]

One of the major events that decided for us that we should go to therapy was hazy recollections of what a school mate did to us, when we were around seven. There were lots of panicked snippets and waking up shaking and crying. They happened often enough and with enough ferocity that it became apparent [...]

I’m still trying to find out ways to, in a sense, replace the therapy with something that I can do online, but support groups, for the most part, at least the ones I’ve found so far seem to dwell far too much on the negative. I understand that people need to process the negative things [...]

This is supposed to be a jubilant event, the graduating from therapy and moving on free as a bird into the regular world with the tools to handle it, and the understanding of how things work. Except in this case it’s not. There are no celebrations, no champagne, no new hp laptops or cars. This [...]

The first appointment of the new year actually went really well. Max did wind up going (he’s full of gloat) and it wasn’t anywhere near what I thought. His motivation was actually to show the psych another of us given he realized that the D.I.D. diagnosis isn’t officially on any of the paperwork. I guess [...]

I have my first appointment with the psychiatrist for the new year today and I’m nervous. You’d think I’d be over that by now, but I’d rather spend the whole morning searching for online life insurance than go.
I know this time it’s because Max has been chomping at the bit to go to the [...]
