Thanks for stopping by!
Do you or someone you love suffer from mental illness? Do you think you might be a multiple or live with one? Do you struggle with the urge to hurt yourself? Are you interested in learning about psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia? Are you curious to learn about the cognitive distortions you may have? Been searching forever on some good information on Avoidant & Borderline Personality Disorders? This site was designed for anyone interested in topics that range from dissociation and PTSD to self-harm and schizophrenia and more! I want to share my experiences with you and help others understand about life from the other side of the psychiatrist's desk. Please read on....

Who Am I?

I am a young and spry woman with the following diagnoses: 

Major Depressive Disorder, severe, recurrent, with psychotic features;

Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder);

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder;

Borderline Personality Disorder;

and Avoidant Personality Disorder.

Whew! Oh, yeah, and I'm also completely deaf and communicate via American Sign Language (and English when appropriate).

I have been in the mental health system full-time since the age of 17 and have been misdiagnosed with everything from an adjustment disorder to severe, unresponsive schizophrenia. I've had over 40 ECTs (shock treatments), been on every psychotropic medication known to man (up until the last change), and been hospitalized psychiatrically 27 times (so far....)!

I'm here now to help educate people on many issues that are near and dear to my heart. I've found that, even if people can see past my deafness, learning of my mental illness (especially Multiple Personality Disorder) seems to make people run in horror. That is why I created this site (partially, at least). I hope that you will devour each page of my site, learn something new, and then contact me and let me know your thoughts and feelings.

My Internal System

I have over 50 alters which include (but are not limited to) children as young as 19 months and up through every age, an artist, a martyr, a prostitute, an animal, a few demons, the devil, an entreprenuer, a woman from England, and many, many more!

"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, REALLY loves you, then you become Real. It doesn't happen all at once. You become. It takes a long time. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
