Things that make you say "Ugh"!

I don't post on a regular basis, so many of you may not know me at all. But I gotta say this...

The first thing, after the shock is gone, that people say after they find out I am a "we" is, "Isn't there a way you can get rid of the others?"

What a stupid, thoughtless thing to say!?! I mean, I know that there is a lot of ignorance about this disorder and many others, but...what chutzpah!

Even my newest psychiatrist! (Can't find anyone in my area that specifically deals with DID) He told me to tell my family (hubby, grown kids, etc...) to ignore the others when they come out and once they realize that no one will treat them differently, they will stop coming out!

Ugh!

Ugh, that's awful, but I (unfortunately) know a lot who think that way.. In our case, such methods made us come out even more and made everything get chaotic. I was so angry about being ignored, and others with me, that we acted out, and people saying those things make things like that worse.
And it's not like alters are evil entities taking someone's body over, apparently we became around memories, so we've got all to do with the host right? So that shouldn't be ignored.

Ugh for those ignorant folks allright..

Thats how George Bush handles protesters. Puts his hands over his eyes "If I can't see them, they can't see me!"

Wow that is absolutely ridiculous!!! The worst experience I had was in the hospital when they just wanted to medicate the "voices" away. Even my psychiatrist is coming around and starting to talk to the others, and I think she is starting to understand that when she refers to the others as 'the aspects of your self' it makes us angry. When I ignore my little ones, or do not give them time to come out, they take time for themselves, just like any other person would. Don't listen to that crap! They need time to heal, just like you need it, and they need time to talk, just as much as you do. If you must see that psych, it might be better to just tell them the ups and downs of your every day life to get the meds you need but other than that, do the healing on your own with a good support system. I am really luck to have a therapist who not only believes and know about it, but knows other multiples and has great suggestions, and has even introduced us to another. I am sorry that your therapist is so ignorant, maybe you can force him/her to open up and learn about it, even give her a book or let the alters come out to speak with her. Good luck,
Amber and all
