Question:
- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Was diagnosed officially only one month ago after an intensive 2 hour session with a psychiatrist specializing only in this disorder, as it’s euphemistically called. (Will interject here, that "I" only just saw what my nemeses (albatrosses), curses, or clinically, "alters" wrote, and your answer. Well, I’m truly glad my apology was accepted for my breach of established protocols. As usual, I jumped in without first learning what is or is not permitted, what is or is not acceptable. In the interim, they trashed the apartment and I picked up clothes, dishes, remade beds, and undid all kinds of other damage. I’m afraid I was not "able" to "listen" as "they" were writing. I have no idea whatsoever what "they" do or say when "they" grab the reins, so to speak. I only learn what was done or said after the fact. At least "they" didn’t delete your answer, so I suppose that is some kind of progress on this end. I CAN’T say what hurts SO AGONIZINGLY because it might be offensive, although I did write SPOILER in capitals in the Subject Line. I hope that comes through on the E Mail Subject Line so it will be obvious that while it takes time to learn a lesson, I do eventually catch on. I just need a great deal of concrete explanation and "prompting" when it comes to new situations and new environments. The therapist will discontinue all of us if something physically harmful happens to "the body" so I’m kind of trapped in this situation anyway, since I’m quite outnumbered by "those" who do NOT want to be discontinued. At least this therapist realized that BPD was NOT, after all these years, the problem (too many inconsistencies with the "criteria") and too little memory of too many people, too many places, and too many things. Forgive my stupidity, but I’ve truly no idea whatsoever about what kind of pain is or is not permitted to be described. I’ve just got SO MUCH of it, I’m reaching the limits of my tolerance for it, but this IS NOT a BAD thing that I’m suggesting I’ll do. In fact, all I PLAN to do now is have a cup of herbal tea, take the antidepressants AS PRESCRIBED, and most likely go to bed. One harmless personal thing I think I can share (unless someone happens to hate cats) without repercussions, is that we’re all cat lovers here and own six of them. They include five females and one male. Another harmless thing, (I hope it’s harmless) is that we’re avid readers and enjoy an exciting, suspenseful mystery or detective story. Sometimes I come home with a book I don’t recall buying, but never thought that was unusual since that kind of thing has been happening for as long as I can remember, and always thought it happened from time to time to everyone. At any rate, maybe I’ll write SPOILER next to Naomi on everything just to be on the safe side? Naomi, Feline Fancier always
Response:
Hi Naomi, good to have you here on asd. I am a cat lover too. Unfortunately I haven’t had one of my own for a number of years because I can’t afford to look after one properly. However, between my roommates and my mother, I have 5 to be surrogate parent to. Sadly, not one is a lap cat <sigh. Well okay, my roommate’s cat Tigger will sometimes take to my lap, but most of the time he’s pretty miserable. I look forward to talking about some dissociation stuff with you at some point, but right now I have to get to bed. Cheryl (of Cequinnes) "If we had no broken places, how would our light shine out?"
