Today we saw PDoc P and she thought it might be a good idea to see Safety Queen our T today after our session with her cause we were feeling so unsafe and she knows that Safety Queen gives us a safe feeling. We spent the time reconnecting and coming up with ways to stay safe. After I told her I would put SI #5 on the coping list she made us a new list (in the picture above). This is helping me to have the strength to get through the next little while. And she left little secret notes to some parts to see as well. So we all have options to cope.

So working through this day 20 as we speak...Any questions about list, you may ask. We love feedback and are willing to share around all this. 

May this DAY 20 turn into 21 days in 5 hours!

I am totally freaked out. 
We dissociated a couple of nights ago and when we came to so to speak and the awareness returned it was like 3am and we were sitting 2 and half hours from home in a park right beside our childhood home where all the sexual abuse took place. 

We began to shake uncontrollably when I, Valynn realized where I was. It was the same but difference. Took a few mins to realize where we were.

This was the place where my uncle first hurt us by having sex with us when the body was 9. The abuse started at age four to our memory, maybe before. 

After not being here for over 23 years the shock was so so so scary. 

Memories stared flooding back in and I quickly began questioning those inside as to why? Unfortunately in a very freaked out angry way. I started yelling why would you ever fucking bring me here. What in the world are you trying to tell me. Why would you bring me to hell on earth again....


This was so very re traumatizing.........

So much so that even writing this is bringing it back. I have no idea how I have not cut around it yet. I am fighting the urges so bad right now.  I am feeling unsafe inside. Not life threatening unsafe but super little scary unsafe. If that makes any sense. 

I then called someone, a safe friend, to come to get us. He did and helped me write a note reading. "I survived this place" and posted it up where people could see it. 

We have not lost time like this in a long time. It scares us and wondering why now. 

I wish I could find the words to express how devastating it was to be back 23 years later in a place of hell. 

This place where many men hurt me daily for years...I don't know how to close this or deal with this, or process this. I am needing much support. I need to say more but will stop for now as I am getting quite re- triggered. 

Gotta go....hugs and feedback welcomed please.

 
I sit here tonight in utter shame...

I have never felt more useless and unworthy in quite some time.
Despite my difficult day my true heart came out and I helped more people then I should of. And now I sit here bloody arms and a lit cigarette in the ashtray and wonder why I keep putting one foot in front of the other. Secretly hoping the world and all that exists would disappear. I say this with such fear for the candle of hope within is still lit, and I quietly sit here with God and pray he knows my heart better then my words and thoughts. 

My candle is lit not from my own hand however.
I have people, other human beings in my life that deem me and the others inside worthy of a flame. Despite my attempts and some days success of blowing it out, they are there lighting it over and over. Offering me another chance at hope. A gift I sadly cannot take with gratitude most days. 

My heart is heavy and my lungs smoke filled, an unhealthy attempt to feel better. No longer forcing the white powder up my nose and soaking my liver with poison, and fogging my brain with unrealistic truths of brilliance, I find myself sad. Overwhelmed with, I even hate the word...feelings. No powder, poison, fog, or brilliance to numb the pain, fear, sadness, felt inside my deepest cells. My whole body wholes this pain. To feels this torture, a prisoner of history. 

I am greeted with claps, embraces, smiles, and well to do for the strength, and courage to with hold these death sentences from my body. Grateful for the love each holds out to me, it however offers no hit to raise the self worth but rather is a reminder of the self hatred glances I give my soul with each reflection in the mirror. 

This is my insight into where my brain goes with the above paragraph and how my damage thinking has tried to figure this out. As food has a short visit into my system before meeting the toilet, the blade takes bloody trips across my skin, as smoke fills my lungs with cancer causing agents, and actions spew from my body, I am to stand proud? Proud in recovery!? 

Truly recovered I am  not. My disease (addiction) is quite active and on a rampage of destroying my being. In a few short days I will be given an honor of receiving a one year clean and sober medallion. I feel less than deserving because as I sit here with God's arms wrapped around me, I am a fraud, a fake. I have but only tackled one symptom of my life threatening illness. 

Many losses have happened over the last little while, and although I am desperately trying not to offend God, I am questioning why? A question that offers no real good or meaning to anyone. Cause in my experience knowing why has never taken away the truth of the matter. 

As I end this silent scream, as the blade is put back in the box, the cigarette butts over fill the ashtray, and I send one more pray towards God, I am filled with tears because the next step is unknown, the faith is shaken, and the truth that shall set me free is locked away for another night.










 
3 weeks clean from self harm today this early morning and all I can say is FML, that's right....I am so close to just throwing it all away. It is such a craving, I say craving rather than urge cause it is an addiction. Totally!! And if I don't make the first cut I don't have to worry about the cycle going on for days. I am hurting so much and cutting is my voice at times because "using your words" (safety queen) isn't always so easily done. So yeah FML (F**K MY LIFE)!!!!! I am filled with severe distress.

Sadly I am wishing that I could take my life. I hate feeling this way, scared really. Because staying in control is getting harder these days. I am confused much of the time and am writing this now while I am barely hanging on to control to stay present and not dissociate. It is getting cloudy and dark in my head and when the craving to cut is so near I am afraid to leave my own body of fear of what i will come back to. 

Part of me, 3 parts in mind, feel like if we just cut and get it over with then perhaps we can just breath and begin again. Sigh....
Sometimes it feels like prolonging the blade against our skin is only stopping what will happen for only a little while. I am so scared cause I am truly fearful that this is for life and that it will never stop. That some days are just easier then others. 

I just don't understand it though if I am able to be 11 months and 2 weeks clean from drugs and alcohol why can't I do this too?!?!?!?! 

Got to stay in control, gotta keep it together, at least til I get through Christmas for everyone. I don't want to hurt anyone but why is everyone else's happiness worth more then my own. And please don't udder the words this too shall pass. Cause yeah it will but in my past, history, and experience, it just comes back around over and over...it doesn't pass, it takes a break...

I just want to die. 
 
This is what rape is doing to me. I am filled with so much anger, hurt and pain and I don't know how to turn it outward. Inwards, no problem, hurting myself and blaming myself is so easy, comes too naturally. The truth is I can't stop because i am not even sure I want to. It hurts soooo bad that it feels good. it is sick, my rational mind knows this but in the moment i can not help myself. I feel like it is the only thing that saves my life. That too sounds weird I know but it's true. I mean i must be getting something from it, if I keep doing it. Okay deep down i wanna stop but I think what stops me the most is that i believe I can't stop, that I will never be free from this addiction to self inflicted pain. The emotions get so big to the point i don't think i can live with it and then I self harm and relief comes. Yes it is short lived but it is a break from the chaos that is inside the head. My head is so loud these days. Everyone inside is all kinds of confused about what is going on and I still don't know all who were present when the rape happened. Trying to go easy on myself and to be gentle. However that is so hard when I am still blaming myself. There are a few things we are keeping locked up inside with fear that others will label us sick and dirty and so we can't speak of them. This secret silence is killing us slowly. Taking a toll daily as we put the blade to our skin once again. A fight that we want to see be lifted from our body, mind, and soul. Anyways, I really needed to share this part of me cause as ugly as this all is, it is my truth. It is my reality these days and I struggle but I know I am not alone in this. There are many like me. this is a fact and yet I have never felt so alone in a long time. Here's praying it gets easier and that I will be free one day of this awful addiction. I want to believe I am better then this and love myself the way so many love me. It saddens me that my life is back in a dark place. I come back home, to the scene of the crime everyday and hope that it isn't true. That a man didn't rape me repeatedly in my own bed. Not only taking a piece of me but also stealing my safe place. God, please help me to find safe again. Inside me and outside as well. Still living in anger and fear,
Valynn and The Bunch

SAD. SCARED, TERROR, FEAR, LONELY are just a few things I feel this early 4:35am and still no sleep.  Cutting quite a bit =( Sorry to those who love and care about me...I truly am sorry but it's not about you, really, as hard as that may sound. I am feeling like giving up again, it's a scary  feeling when suicide becomes an option again. I am working hard on doing things so this doesn't happen. As someone with DID it can be concerning more so cause I'm afraid it would happen and I may not ever know...Call my support team and left messages on the advice of PDoc P, that girl rocks. Glad she is in my life. My hope is that we can come up with a plan to help me stay safe. Anyways, I am just rambling to I'll end there for now, off to see if I can maybe get a few hours of sleep in. Pray for me or send positive energies please....

Guess the broken promises added up again, today. Couldn't breathe, couldn't put away the intense feelings. Yesterdays session with the PDoc opened up some stuff that we just couldn't seem to put away. *crying....
Needed to feel the blade against the skin. Are we real, are we alive? Tried many things this pass evening and none of it helped. Feel like such a failure as usual. I am so sorry N, S, PDoc P and mostly to the littles. Afraid to sleep, it is almost 4am and we know he awaits us there. His hands on our body make it difficult to sit in this skin. After almost 6 weeks we fucked up. The blood helps us know we are alive. Most think we shouldn't talk about this but to those who don't like it press the little X in the top cornor of the window and you never have to come here and read about it again. IT HURTS!!!!!! FUCKING HATE HIM!!!! HATE THEM!!!! It's not fair!!! Wish we could have said something.........sigh......Going to the washroom we found the stash of razors...wish we would have said that and had them put somewhere else. Now the blades are back in our possesion. Took all of 2 mins to pop them open and do damage. Don't know what to say.....Part of us is like, whatev, who friigin cares....you get a break but it never really goes away. Thinking this will be the hardest addiction to tackle. Sadly, can't wait to do it again but not the only one up any more.....

Written by: Can't tell....but we're in this together her and I.....
