A broken mirrors reflection.

We can never make up for past misdeeds… Nor can we show others when they see their own reflection in our shattered pieces. Forever a broken mirror. So hard to see the true reflection between the cracks and missing pieces. Will it always be this way… does it really matter? I must let the pieces fall till none remain… then let the empty frame fall and become something non reflective, if that is…

I love you all!

If anything in this blog post angers you, I sincerely hope that you are willing to take an honest look in the mirror and ask yourself “why?” Take some serious time to examine your emotions, and what may have triggered that anger… please?Life is simply getting too difficult for me to continue updating my blog. I’m very sorry, but this notification may be its last entry. I greatly appreciate…

Is picking up the mail against the law?

Writing has been incredibly difficult for us of late. With everything going on in America recently it’s hard to organize our thoughts. It’s a daily struggle for us at the best of times, and these are certainly NOT the best of times. As a person with severe mental health issues, it has been difficult of late even managing our depression enough to get out of bed on a daily basis. I never in a…

Death and illness

Update: I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted… no real excuse for that other than depression and illness. I found out in July that my stepdad had cancer, we all found out roughly around the same time. My dad was having some pain in his side and chest, the doctor examined him, found a sizable lump, and did a biopsy. The results came back malignant… he went in for further testing and they…

The Right Thing?

The shit hit the fan yesterday. My husband is “voluntarily” going to inpatient treatment in Portland Oregon due to suicidal ideation. When I asked the hospital if it was okay for me to talk to him, I was told that he didn’t want to speak with anyone. I don’t know how long he will be gone or if he’s going to be okay, but I feel like he’s never going to forgive me… When I was asked if I felt it…

Eclectic and Wild

I’m eclectic… I am wild! Spin intuitive magic like a child! I dance, I sing, I play… And to the end of my days… That’s how I shall stay!

UPs and Downs

Life is a series of ups and downs.If you’ve ever tried to stand in the center of a teeter totter you will know that there is a spot where you can find balance, and as it rocks back and forth you remain stable. You flow with the back-and-forth motion without falling down. You learn to anticipate the highs and lows and counterbalance yourself. We’re finding that life is just like that, it’s a…

Just call me Alice

Gold and purple stripes and a bright green hat. Born from a mushroom and a mirror cracked… Dancing with riddles in the shape of a cat. Here and gone in the blink of an eye… Is she real or just a figment of my mad imagination? “Just call me Alice” I thought I heard her say… But was she really there before she slipped away? Oh Alice… oh Alice, where have you gone? Are we all just prisoners…

It’s A Roller Coaster

I’m feeling so lost right now.  I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to say things that need to be said. How do you have a relationship when you have more people than you know inside of your head? How do you set personal boundaries when you are multiple people with varying levels of boundaries? I don’t know if my relationship of 33 years is going to last much longer. There are continual…

State of mind

As the world seems increasingly intent on starting WWIII, our sanity slides further into darkness with it. We find it difficult to eat or sleep properly, depression is an ever present shadow hovering over our head. We seem to have more internal and external conversations with our head-mates, sometimes the conversations are remembered, sometimes I’m only vaguely aware that we’ve been talking.…

Hope FOR US YET.

Other systems gives us so much hope. Our system is overt, though we’ve only been system aware for two years. For so long we felt so bad for cycling through hobbies and interests, now we’re trying to focus on simply being okay with things taking us longer than “normal” people to complete. If you only have a few days or weeks to work on something, you’re naturally going to take longer than…

She just want to be normal.

She just wants to be normal. She has her whole life ahead of her…  “I’m sorry Sharon I just don’t know how to, how to write about this. I don’t know how to explain to folks exactly what it’s like finding out that you’re actually not the only person in your body. That when the body was very young it went through so much extreme stress and trauma that the brain started creating new separate…

Life with d.i.d.

The sadness that comes from realizing that a headmate thinks you’re creepy for being interested in animal bones and the paranormal. A while back on a walk I found the bones of a deer that had been hit by a car, at the time I thought the jawbones could make an interesting art project, so I brought them home. Now I have no idea what to do with them and have the strongest urge to simply throw them…

Life Gets Interesting

The energy is weird today… feels like something’s up. Not sure if it’s going to be good or bad, just feels… I don’t know, significant? 🤔 Like everything around me is holding its breath… waiting for something to happen. 👀 Trying to pay more attention to my intuition since finding out that I’m an untrained medium. 🙃 I’m seeing, feeling, hearing… so much more lately and actively trying to pay…

Life interrupting

I’m sorry I’ve been gone so long, but between my husband’s health issues and our best friend’s health issues, I’ve honestly been struggling just to cope. I’m very concerned that my best friend may not survive to the end of the year, and my husband’s health has me seriously wondering if I will find myself alone by next year. The stress of life and the very real possibility of losing two people…

Dreams and memories

03/15/23  Mood: agitated, slight dissociation. Lots of mixed dreams about stuff that did, and did not happen. Realized that the stuff that didn’t actually happen were metaphors for how we felt about the things that did happen. Like not being able to walk without a cane meant that we felt strongly unsupported in our early years. Being made to half crawl and drag ourself through piles of junk…

Seizures and low energy.

I’m sorry I haven’t been responding to folks much lately. I have been over stressed and under energized for a while. My husband going into the hospital on the 23rd, and again on the 24th due to unspecified seizures has had me completely overwhelmed and drained. He’s back home now awaiting follow up with a neurologist, but my energy is likely to be very limited till we know for sure what caused…
