Thanks for the invite, marj, I’ll take a look! Glad you rediscovered me. I do the same with other blogs as I browse around.

untreatable, yes, sometimes we get the “strange looks” but overall I have so many around me that understand me. I think, because, I chose to surround myself with people that care about me instead of those that don’t. Do you think everyone has this choice or was I just lucky? Doesn’t always work out all the time, but overall I’m very very blessed!

kïrstin it’s great that you have a situation like that. Good to know that there’s hope. Thanks for sharing that co-workers support you. Sometimes that’s the best option.

hi cat! its been a long time since i came by here. too long!
this is a good point. i dont have DID but i am dyslexic and have other issues as well. i have shared some with the two women i share the front office with, and it has been a ggod thing. they give me a hand sometimes with things. but i think proving myself first as a competent worker was important. i have a very good job at a clinic, with the best bosses and office manager. i think now i could say something, but at this point dont need to. my two coworkers are my support system, and i have the confidence of my team and management, so i have found balance. just what you were talking about.
its good to be back here again
kïrstin?

I always find it rather funny when someone “discovers” I am borderline as it always looks like their brain is unable to comprehend the knowledge by the confused look on their face. Wonderful site by the way.

Sorry, this isn’t really about this post–although it’s a good one. I’m kinda re-discovering your blog after seeing a link on Beauty’s blog (Beautiful Dreamer) to your television interview. You were awesome!

Thanks for the advocacy work you do…and for the comment you left on my blog today.

Hey, I think you have some posts that would be great for THE BLOG CARNIVAL AGAINST CHILD ABUSE. Would you be willing to participate? Details are at my blog. Thanks for considering!
