It’s Fourth of July week...I’m hoping that we take this weekend off. It seems like everytime someone asks us if we are going to work, we say yes.

I don't know if this post belongs here or not but since it's about dissociation hopefully it does.
There was a bunch of chaos and drama happening at my house last night that I had to deal with.It made me feel so upset and anxious I thought I might faint.I got through it but then I couldn't get to sleep last night because it kept replaying over and over in my mind.Having to face and deal with life without being DID is a challenge sometimes.When it's major stuff like last night I hate how it makes me feel and how I react.Maybe it will get easier as time goes by but maybe it won't either.Life has been really stressful lately and the automatic dissociation isn't there anymore.A couple of weeks ago I started trying to make myself dissociate and the closest I could get to it was that in between when you're trying to go to sleep and you start drifting off and you're half asleep half awake.When I would start falling asleep I would force myself awake.It was nothing like dissociation though.It makes me realize how much I relied on and how automatic dissociating was for me before integration.When things got rough it was automatic.Now when things get rough I have to rely on all the tools I learned in therapy to get through situations.I wonder if eventually it will become automatic and get easier.My therapist said it all just takes time and practice and I hope he's right. |

To learn to deal with such situations without dissociating... that would be so uncomfortably weird. Maybe give it time so that confidence in being in control will make it feel right and “normal”. |

90* and climbing outside. I was going to wash the car, but I am going to wait till later today. I got to drive our car...it was so much fun. The guys took off our vanity plate holder with a drill and is going to touch that and the front spoiler up too with paint.
I want to wear shorts outside but I burned our skin and legs with the IPL machine trying to get rid of the spider web veins and hair leaving square blocks of hyper-pigmentation. We need some sun to tan in around those spots so that they blend. Maybe this evening. |

A triggered flashback dissociated damn MESS!
After an incident with my H this morning that left me in a dissociative fog with anxiety I get to school all the long doing breathing exercises to calm down only a couple hours later the instructor makes an announcement that the reason one of the other students has been missing class a lot is because his younger sister committed suicide and he had to go to the west coast with his family to take her off of life support. Everyone is around him hugging him crying while I just floated off into a flashback and in a frozen state looking like an insensitive cold fish to his issues. I could not even get up off my seat. I just do not think that is something that should have been discussed with out considering what might be going on with other people who do not feel parading their mental issues or family issues for all to see. __________________ When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors. |

so today our mother decided to email us again trying to convince us to emigrate with her to africa.
I wish she'd just stop... the only reason she wants me to go over their is so that she can continue her abuse towards me the email she sent me this morning was very nasty- blaming me for being alive, and all that crap I just ignored it best thing to do I think but not a great start to the day |

It’s also was bacon, sunny side eggs, grits, jelly toast: breakfast + lunch = brunch. Everything for everybody instead of eating two different kinds of burgers at once. |

quiet morning
then this afternoon I am going to get myself a drive through mcdonalds. I guess partly to make up for the shockingly bad food yesterday (I mean it wasn't that bad, I guess), but still. it would have been nice to have the food I wanted in the house and partly to treat myself. having a hard time with family stuff... so some time in the war museum and some mcdonalds will be my treat |
