Thank you to those of you who ARE kind and caring.Just for the record, I (Pilgrim) did not make up this list alone, there are quite a few contributors to it.Also, I have been called demon-posessed by people in real life that are in no way related to this website. Readers, please don't take anything personally here. I only know 1 of the people who responds to this diary; everyone else is a stranger.Nothing said here is a judgement against anyone who reads our diaries.
Hi there Pilgrim,I read this on the other site and liked it. It's a great boundary setting orientation for folks who think they may know what to do or expect. I sure don't/didn't. It applies to other 'conditions' as well. There is a 'letter to normals' for things to understand and to not be assumed when dealing with someone with fibromyalgia. I read it years ago and if I see another copy float by my life I'll post it here over on 'my life with..'.I think an important point for all of us is, just because we are different, don't assume things about us, ask...and if you are crossing a line in asking something we'll tell you. And don't put us under a microscope, be a friend, sharing and caring goes both ways.Love ya kiddo,Judy
If the second personaity cant find a way to control the body (for lack of a better term) is there a way to bring them out or will he silmply come out on his own? And if he can be made to come out can he live a normal live along with mine?

In my experience--- yes on both counts. I dont know if this is true for everyone.
As for living a normal life... I'm sorry but I dont know what normal is. But if you mean a functional life, then absolutely. There are many people who call themselves "plurals" or "multiples" and dont consider themselves as having a disorder, and though they have several personalities, they live happy, quite functional lives. You might want to explore livejournal.com and look at their "multiplicity" journal.
This isnt very easy for us to try to figure out what to say and how to talk to you it gets kind of complicated sometimes. You may not like what we have to say or that we dont get things right but at least we care enough to try. You cant expect everyone to be able to read your mind and know exactly what you want I just care about you and want to give you support and friendship. If I say something you dont like Im sorry I only wanted to help,but you dont have to tell me Im ignorant, nobody ever said you were possessed anyway. If you dont want my help fine, we can just talk or be friends if you want. Teresa.
