Pilgrim,I'm sorry you feel so overwhelmed. I just had to write to you. Reading some of the posts, I have a feeling we had similar childhoods. Although I didn't splinter, I sometimes feel as if I did. I always love coming to your guys' blog and read what everyone has been doing. Has Caroline ever thought of having her writing published? She has quite a talent! I love reading Mae's thoughts....and blue striped underwear is very important, I think :) I get excited when I have a new pair on too. I've always been fascinated by DID. I think maybe because I feel so alone being a single, I wouldn't mind some company :) I love hearing all aspects of DID from you....so much I never knew. Just a thought, I always had a problem with dresses the way Mae does. I felt better wearing shorts under them. Maybe Mae would feel comfortable wearing dresses with shorts underneath? Well, I hope all of you are doing better. Oh, and Mae, I find your thoughts very interesting. Feel free to write in my diary (the eternal struggle) if you need a friend. Hugs,Heather :)

Hang in there Pilgrim! I know that feeling overwhelmed is no fun....but you can do it! I know you can. We share some aspects of childhood; I was abused and molested for years, but I didn't splinter....or I don't think I did. I don't remember too much about childhood and I do have some missing chunks of time; I just put mine down to "blocking-out" what I don't want to remember.Anyway...hang in there dear...you are NOT an idiot, you just sound like you've got a very full plate and it is stressing you. Take a deep breath...and hang in there.
