Sara Sometimes Sorrows

We are SaraSometimes. Twenty years ago, a doctor finally convinced us that the diagnosis of DID really was what was going on with our core, whose name is, indeed, Sara. For those who don't know, DID is Dissociative Identity Disorder, and it used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder.

In layman's terms, I have, as a defense/coping mechanism, created multiple alter personalities to deal with things that happened to me as a child and an adult that poor little Sara couldn't handle without going insane. So instead of going completely insane and checking out of the world entirely, I check out of the world just a little bit and only temporarily, and instead of a catatonic shell, I leave behind someone else to be thinking, acting, reacting, and living in my place.

So this blog is a place for me and my alters to talk about every day things, and about DID, and about life in general. Stop back often, but be warned, you never know who is going to be posting or sharing, so be prepared to talk to everyone from the four year old girl to the eighty year old native american guide. The thing I am requiring from them is to post in the titles if there are Trigger potentials in the post, and to post a name and age at the end. You, dear followers, I will hope that you will keep your comments PG if it is obvious that you are dealing with a child.

So, relax, sit back, and prepare for an interesting journey. All are welcome to ride along, but seat belts are required.

Sara, age 39
