Doing better/thank you. ^ ^

First off, I'd like to say that we're feeling much better now, even if we're tired and there are a lot of things to deal with. @.@

For the first time in ages, things are starting to feel better in here again. We're ashamed to say that, though we once knew how to treat vie, we fell back into bad habits. But things are better now, and what's more, vie herself is feeling better than we ever remembered her feeling to the point where we actually feel more hope for her. For the first time we can remember in our life, Vie feels safe, cared for, and at least internally, loved, as does Timothy.

I'd like to say thank you to a couple of you who also have young little girl alters. For the first time in our lives as well, she doesn't feel alone. I keep finding happy-tears coming out in real life because she's so happy about it. We NEVER cry, so it's quite a strange experience, but a really nice one, because she feels safe enough to cry, good or bad.

Also, we finally had an actual session with the new Therapist. We decided, to get Timothy and Vie to stop redirecting us and such, to do two things: Promise a reward of $30 for WHATEVER they want, Timothy especially, and more importantly, to ask her for an email address. Going over things in person was just too painful, and they knew it, but we were too afraid to let them ask.

Well, we did, and we gave the basics of the situation to her via email. We also explained that we were afraid of her, [because we were!], and it just... it made all the difference in our ability to go and have a good esperieince.

Goal for first visit? "To feel safe." Goal accomplished. Ayame even got to talk to her by herself without having to disguise herself! ^-^

And, finally, we ended up having a talk with our sister. Things, hopefully, will get better and we won't have to feel afraid of expressing ourselves as ourselves. It has been a long, painful, stressful, horrible week, but good things have come of it, and we're all really really really happy for that, and most of all,

We are ALL immensely thankful to you folks for being here. ^ ^ Sometimes, knowing you aren't alone makes a huge difference, and connecting to or relating to people, doubly so, since it's so rare to find people who actually "get it", if you know what I mean. [And I know ALL of you do.] Hugs to those who don't mind them, and your choice of flavors of shakes, cakes, or other treats to those who do!

So yeah. Things are going better. Thank you! ^-^

Your very welcome! And thanks right back to you for being here as well! I'm glad to hear you are doing better!
I have a new younger alter and I'm working on helping her feel safe. I know how important it is to feel safe! *hugs back*

Hey Aecy
It's good to hear you're feeling a bit better and have managed to move forward a bit. I wanted to comment on your original post, but didn't know what to put... and I wasn't sure how this board felt about "thinking of you" posts... as they can be put on most posts! But I was.

Hope you stay in a better place
