For the teenagers!

Hello Gothika. I am Zed.

Hey guys, I thought I'd introduce myself...as I'm not sure I've been on here yet...

I'm Zelda, and I like Nature, food and growing stuff really... I'm not too sure what 'age' I would be, but teens kinda fits.

I guess I'm not too used to sharing about myself. This will do for now!

When I'm 'out' again I'll make sure to drop in and say 'hi' again.

Thanks for the kind welcomes to us all!



Zelda - One in the Albion System

Hi Zelda!

I'm Sasha and I'm 20, but I definitely fit more with teens than grownups!!

Welcome!

Hey, Cody--

What's up, girl?

We still have a cold, which is cutting into the exercise and dance stuff. I had to skip a dance class this morning. At least we might do yoga in a little while. Gotta stay looking good!!

I'm sorry you guys won't have your T for 3 months, but I'm sure you'll get through it ok. You're all really strong together.

Hi Sasha,

We are just getting over food poisoning which is SO GROSS!

Next week is our last session with our T for 3 MONTHS! Everybody inside is like Cody's ok but I'm not. I really look up to our T. She's smart and independent and a totally cool woman. I'm seriously bummed she's going away. I'm really sad. It's not just the Littles who are feeling it. I'm also kind of worried I'll start acting out when she's gone. I kind of do that when things are bad.

What's this thing with your SO visiting your T??? Really? Who's idea was that?

Cody

Hi Cody,

I wanted to dress up and go to a dinner tonight with the husband, but we had a headache and no one else really wanted to go anyway, so we didn't.

Does it seem weird to have our SO meet with the T? Other people mentioned it as a thing, so I suggested it to him a while ago (or someone did), because he needs to understand this better. But the littles were (are) freaking out about it. We talked to the SO tonight--he has only thought of a couple of questions so far. And he still doesn't really GET it--that there are different people in here who ALL have different feelings AT THE SAME TIME. He thinks if someone is in front who doesn't like him, that that's how we feel "at that point in time" --ALL of us, which ISN'T true. Sigh.

Yeah--your T sounds really cool. I'm sorry that she's going to be gone for so long. But you can still Skype and email with her, so maybe you can do that in, like, a regular way so people still feel connected.

I'm glad you're not sick anymore. That sounded awful!

Wow, there is a teen thread here

I am probably a bit late and you have talked about all interesting stuff already, but still I want to say hello. I am Autumn, I am about 16, and I am dizzy from finding myself in the shoes of a grown up, twice as old as I feel.

The Body does not really fit, lookin in the mirror is creepy, and the glasses are too strong, but that is the lesser problem.
I struggle more with all the responsibilities and life decisions that are coming up and I don't know how to handle this all, whiteout messing it up to much. I don't want to ruin what all the older front people tried to build up. But at the same time I also don't want anything of this. I do not want more responsibilities. I am definitely not able to start a business.
I know that there are 16 year olds who handles such stuff, and are cool and organized and everything, but I am definitely not. I am intelligent, but also very much in my head space, in fantasies, dreaming. I hate the real world, to be honest and I wish I just could disappear in one of the stories I am writing and drawing.

How to you handle stuff like this, when the older guys are not around?

Hi Autumn! I love your name, it's really pretty.

I'm in sorta the same situation as you. I'm 16 too, but the body is like 3x my age. And I'm the one who's fronting most of the time so I gotta deal with all the extra responsibilities and work and all that annoying stuff.

I hate mirrors too, hate whenever I have to acknowledge that other people don't see me the way I see me. I can ignore it a lot, but sometimes I have to see it and it sucks.

There's a thread MDs started about being younger but having to deal with all the grownup stuff: dissociative-identity/topic210089.html

I'm definitely not 'cool and organized' haha but I think outside people sometimes believe I am? Like, we're good at faking it maybe?

I dunno how to handle it? Like, I just do what I can, but it's a huge struggle. Like it constantly feels like everythings gonna fall apart around me at any minute and I'm just barely holding it together.

Can you get any help from outside people? Do you have a T you can talk to about this stuff? That's the sort of thing I think a T should be able to help with.

Violet

Hi Violet! You also have a pretty name

Thx for sharing your experience. It sucks, and I wouldn't wish this anyone, but still it is a bit comforting, to be not that alone with it.

I guess I am also good at faking but at the moment it feels like everything comes apart. I have to commit to stuff I am not ready to do. But I also don't want to let others down. What you describe be barely holding everything together, sounds toootally familiar

We are in process of getting a T, but I am actually not sure, if he believes in any others than some sort of moody states. So.. we will see if that helps or not. But maybe he can at least help one of our grown ups, who did front a lot, but is also very depressed, so that he is able to take over again.

It is strange, but I am quite embarrassed to even told to our closest friend, that I am not one of the guys she usually talks to. She knows that we are more than one, though. But does not know about me.
I feel like I have to pretend to be them. Did you "came out" to others as who you are?

Also thx for the link to the other thread. I will definitely have a look.

Hi Autumn,

Yeah we've been totally out and upfront to our best friends. They were both surprised and then sad at first, cos they really liked our previous host and she's gone. But they've accepted all of us and maybe it was a bit wierd at first but they seem ok with stuff now.

They know that for the past couple months, we're usually me or Viola or Melissa fronting. One of our friends has actually met all three of us, tho I'm the one who's here the most often.

Our family knows too, and that did not go as well. Our sister has basically cut off contact with us completely. Our mother almost did too but she is slowly starting to accept that this is how things are now. Slowly getting used to the fact that we are different people but still her kid, and we're strugglign and suffering a bit with all this.

I do hope you are able to get some help. If your T isn't helpful then maybe you can find a better one. We stopped seeing our T last month cos she wasn't as good, but found a new one and we start seeing her this week.
