Wow. Neb, i so needed to hear that.
Was on the verge of suicide tonight after so much. It looks as though i've lost my best friend becuase i can not maintain a straight face and its too hard for friends to understand me. I am feeling lost and never feels like i'll live without therapy. So hearing your story is so strengthing. Printing it and putting it on my wall to remind me life exsists.
thankyou

Tonight i battle suicidal thoughts because DID has once again captured my emotions. I am taken out of the picture unable to handle the harm i feel. to stop the danger from attacking me/my/us. And as i'm struggling swaying from looking at ways to ease the pain, and resources to survive i come across this where i am so stregnthend.
Tonight seems that My sways in personality and allowing someone close i have lost my best friend becuase i didn't do so well. the cost i pay for my mental health whilst trying to maintain a job and normal life... what ever normal looks like.
@-Rayne- When you say.... "Those who are reluctant to accept that, for whatever reason, seem less able to appreciate the day to day issues and challenges of sharing a body and without that, trauma work is not useful. That's just our experience though"
That is my life. thats how i fel you have summed it up perfectly finally i find a place where i feel understood and i feel known.
ITs the everyday struggles that come with sharing a body. There is trauma thats how i got here but without the knowledge of the sharing my everythign. sharing the constant thoughts of whats going on and conversations in my head. Thats it... its just is my experiene.
@Neb Thankyou for your honest sharing. Just working out the sit but thankyou soo much!!!

Hi @mudsum sorry I haven't logged into email for a few days to see the notifications from this thread. I'm glad you found us. How are things now... with yourselves and with your friend?
We maintain a job/career too so I can definitely relate to what you say there. I think a lot of the time we maintain it at the expense of other things because we can't do everything it takes a lot but it gives a lot too, so hopefully it's worth it. Hard to tell sometimes.
Keep posting 🙂

Hi @sketa I don't know where you're located but have you looked for a community legal centre. They virtually all do family law where there are kids involved and most regional centres have one. You shouldn't have to go to court alone.

JD@outlander normal up and down here. How are you doing?
@sketa I'm sorry you had to pay so much but you should at least get decent representation for that, which is good. (We're a lawyer - not in family law but roughly get the pay scale). We're not sure I know how to avoid JD helping out. He/she/they sounds protective so for as long as they feel you need them, they'll be there. I guess if you think you don't need protecting you can try to explain that, explain why you're OK and how you're going to manage the situation... maybe explain how this is different to times in the past when you needed their help. Anyone else have ideas?
