I am usually reall...Yes I get the same thing too... I am usually really tired after an hectic day or a day repeating flashbacks, I do try and ground myself but sometimes this is overwhelming! The teddy idea is great, I do that too and as well as trying to reassure parts of me that are unsettled! Going back to hearing unwelcome voices, I do tend to distant myself to them and after a good nights sleep I almost touch against the emotion and this also overwhelms me to a point where i cant or will not accept it... I usually jot it down and discuss it with my T... over time I almost experience the emotion but its a kind of trial and error scenario! there's no right way, i guess it comes when your system and you feel its right in your body or mind!

Things have...Hi Sandy, thanks for your well wishes! Things have been settled enough thanks.<br /><br />A, I have read about this scenario which seems to be a common thing in DID: a part that is threatening but it is trying to protect the system from finding out about bad stuff. It makes sense. I don't know if this is what's happening with me or not. <br />I get phases of not being able to sleep too and doing things like reading stories is probably a really great idea. I have a teddy which without fail I sleep snuggled up to at nights, but when Little C is feeling scared the teddy is a real comfort. My husband is good at reassuring her too. Sometimes though I just need to write everything down. I also go through phases of sleeping like a log and these things just aren't an issue for a while. Do you find that too?Candycanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11829509163881070649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576170691178435057.post-28867059111789176612011-08-28T23:36:19.054+01:002011-08-28T23:36:19.054+01:00Hi Candycan, I also agree with everyone else... it...Hi Candycan, I also agree with everyone else... its very brave of you to share with us! I'm not sure if i could to be honest!<br /><br />When i started art therapy i was only aware of two parts, i felt safe in this! Then once the counselling started i became aware of more and more of them via my therapist telling me as i switched i had no recollection of them! They started to talk to me directly through my journo and in my head... i discovered a bad one who would threaten me and said he'd kill me often... i'd retell the story to my therapist and i'd switched apparently he actually was threatening me to safe myself from finding out a (secret) that he was trying to protect me from! So scaring me would stop me from digging deeper with the therapist... My T tried to reassure him, when I came back i had literally five minutes to spare before my session was up and my T shared what had been said! I'm telling you this Candycan so maybe you get another perception of what might be happening! I hope you managed to get some sleep!<br /><br />Ps. I don't know about you but I keep on going through a cycle of not being able to sleep!! I know that there are some of my parts are scared because something might happen to them! My T says its because those tiny parts of me are stuck back in the late 75's in that era and believe that there are still there, I often have to read bedtime stories, nursery rhymes, draw in my journo... <br /><br />I hope that me and the other bloggers have left you feeling reassured!

I remember you s...That's an interesting theory. I remember you saying something about the stage between sleeping and waking on the NHS blog some times ago. apop... something? Sorry, I am a bit thick sometimes!<br /> it was hard typing it up and I didn't reflect on it much afterwards because it's too risky to get too in tune with it all sometimes. I feel just very separate from it. I don't know what part it is that talks that way. Someone I'm not very connected with. Things like this used to freak me out something shocking but nowadays it doesn't scare me as much because I understand about DID. I think I will talk about this more in a post.Candycanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11829509163881070649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576170691178435057.post-41472837799515781692011-08-27T06:55:21.367+01:002011-08-27T06:55:21.367+01:00I have this theory that in the nighttime our abili...I have this theory that in the nighttime our ability to dissociate is weaker, so people with DID switch a lot more regularly and rapidly between identities/states/parts. <br /><br />It was brave of you to write all of that down and share it here. How do you feel about it?JustElizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08576780670208531276noreply@blogger.com
