Unapproved Comments

I only vaguely remember having a blog on this site, much less a memory of writing this. Such is the nature of this stuff! : ) I ought to go read the post that inspired it LOL

Yes I know that feeling... I tried to e-mail you through your wiki but it bounced. Umm I guess you could say we are new/old at least MY awareness is new. Just looking for some advice. TLOU

I've checked out Kinhost.org and read as much as I could before getting so confused, it made my head hurt.

I'm really confused about this one thing. Are you the same individual that writes there about many spirits being in the same body as your theory on your multiplicity or am I confusing you (The Crisses) with another individual there?

What concerns me is that rather than describing true multiplicity, it reads like a description from either a religious radical or an existential trip down the fantasy/fiction section at a Borders Book store. Elves? DRAGONS? And laypersons that read it aren't going to think multiples are loons? I would and I'm a multiple myself. As disappointing as it may sound though... all of our alters are of the human species.

This isn't education, it's psychosis and although it might be very liberating for you individually and collectively to believe this stuff... it can be very damaging for the world of multiples who are desperate to function, be accepted and educate the masses so that understanding and support can be found. It's hard enough for common people to believe that MPD/DID is a legitimate diagnosis but try to pepper the phenomenon with elves, dragons, spirit-folk, and fairies and we can kiss support and understanding goodbye.

I, too may have some interesting or even strange theories or beliefs but I'll be damned if I'm going to cloud true knowledge and education about DID with my own personal flavor of existence.

If I weren't so sensitive to the potential of one's multiplicity, I would suggest that I were reading the ramblings of a schizophrenic. Are you SURE you are multiple and not schizophrenic? Though this question or even this entire post may strike you as offensive, I must be honest and say that I find the public "education" that your Wiki site publishes offensive. As a multiple who works very hard to trust any other singleton not to exploit or hurt me(us), I worry that information such as yours will be used as ammo for those with loose conscience.

I wish you well in everything you do in life and above all, peace but please be aware of the consequences of your words before you post them as educational rather than personal. It's dangerous.

Hi, Ripley,

I'm sorry if I made your head hurt. Yes, I'm the same The Crisses that wrote on Kinhost.org.

Your idea that somehow me (and others) describing our experiences and self-perception to the world is somewhat damaging to multiples as a whole is disturbing. You are 100% entitled to feeling or being 100% human, and are entitled to try to fit in and get help to become one whole human. Why am I not entitled to being perfectly happy being multiple just because of my self-observations or self-reflections that bring me to believe that the people (arguable) in my head are not all necessarily human? I dare to be different from you. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I am a 100% functional member of society -- whether in spite of OR because of my multiplicity. I'm not delusional, and I'm certainly not psychotic, although I question my sanity constantly. But, see, that's the point -- I question my sanity because it's mine to question. It's not yours, and your disbelief can't call me into question.

I'm quite positive I'm multiple, not schizophrenic. That's a pretty bizarre thing to say. I don't hear voices, I'm not paranoid, I raise my children, have a roommate and a partner, deal with business people in my area on a nearly daily basis, and I'm actually rather comfortable with myself. Having lived with schizophrenics, I can say with certainty that they were all but comfortable with themselves or their circumstances.

So, instead of attacking me, and my beliefs or circumstances, why not sit down and journal or ponder with why you believe it's necessary to try to change who and what I am when your real concern should be changing who and what you are?

If I were the only person with beliefs and experiences like my own, you might be right. I've received so many thank-you emails for my work on Kinhost.org that I really feel that it's worth my time and energy, in spite of any chance that I might offend any singleton or multiple in particular, to share my stories and let people peek into my head. So many people-like-me have been relieved not to be alone -- that in itself is granting a mote of sanity to many people out there, and that is more than worth it. I'm sorry if somehow this steps on your toes a little. It's what I feel I have to do. You can use my work as an example of "I'm multiple, but I'm not like these nuts." if that helps you feel better.

this is a test especially for crisses

This is a test.

Another test -- trying to get comment approvals working....

Crisses, your new blog looks nice. I just discovered it, and I'm eager to understand how it works.

I really like your blog - I am a big fan of pmwiki and was thrilled to see your implentation of pmwiki into a blog which such great functionality.

Delicious.
