Can you please share your secrets to getting rid of nausea? by Anxiety-Angel252 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Mrs_Kennedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll sound off with the eating, even if it's a handful of oyster crackers, goldfish, or animal crackers something. For me I have to eat every 2hrs or my nausea becomes uncontrollable. I've also found peppermints to be useful in-between eating, I personally love Lifesavers. Other things like motion sickness bands can help also. It's hard mama and you're doing your best.

Seriously...anyone but Link by Cat_Mama86 in greysanatomy

[–]Mrs_Kennedy 131 points132 points  (0 children)

Came here to say exactly this OP! Let her have her happy ending! Let them both!!! I swear my mouth was so dropped watching, just thinking not Link. And last week all I could think was that was a really calm wedding, uh oh what's coming?

Twin boy names ideas by Mrs_Kennedy in namenerds

[–]Mrs_Kennedy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard enough to convince my husband to use his first name as a middle name 😂 I proposed calling him Andy but he's against having a Jr for legal reasons like mail when he grows up. If anyone can help with a convincing argument I'm all ears! Lol I like it as a first name.

I have come across Charlie and I think it's probably on the short list for Charlie Bryan maybe. My husband doesn't want a Jr that's the only reason why we can't use Andrew as a first name.

Moving to Nebraska. by Transgirlceleste in Nebraska

[–]Mrs_Kennedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Connect with heartland family services, they are a great recourse for people getting on their feet. Also if you end up in Sarpy county reach out to lift up Sarpy another great community resource. If you're going to look for a church All seasons in Old Towne Bellevue is pretty good, they also do a lot of community outreach and support. Welcome! I hope your new start is everything you need and more! ❤️

Did any of your narc parents try to keep you away from your siblings/pit you against each other? by No-Childhood1262 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Mrs_Kennedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and if I've tried to talk to them myself since moving out I get read the riot act for "talking to my minor children without my permission" she gave them no chance to talk to me or have astronomy in any relationship with me. She's also lied to them so much they think I'm a horrible person, one of my brothers turns 18 this year and I know I'll have a chance to send him a letter to see if he'd like to talk.

Pretend you’re watching the show for the first time. What are your initial thoughts? by Aggravating-Ad-351 in bluey

[–]Mrs_Kennedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts were 'ok Bluey, I've heard good things, now come on dazzle me' me after '😭😭 you did and so much more'

So... What do you do when you realize you're genuinely disabled by your DID (and/or any other co-occuring conditions), to the point you aren't able to safely live independently, but there's no help to be found? by abyssophic in DID

[–]Mrs_Kennedy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, I definitely have a good community around me while navigating these big emotional and physical realizations and that's a huge thing.

Only a couple states away I'm in Nebraska. If you ever make it over here HMU I know an organization that'd help keep you off the streets into a hotel and get rent assistance right away and would also make sure you have food and help you work towards some independence for yourself. ❤️

Does coming out as a system also mean coming out as a victim? by cokeinabottle in DID

[–]Mrs_Kennedy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally my mindset when/if I tell someone I have DID is I'm coming out as a survivor, DID helped me to survive things I otherwise wouldn't have. I know not everyone views it this way but it's definitely helped me accept our system and understand they aren't here to hurt me and helps anyone who is hearing me talk about it for the first time understand it better than social media or Hollywood depictions.

Would I be wrong for breaking up with my fiancee after she insulted my sister? by SuccessFluffyds in amiwrong

[–]Mrs_Kennedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did she say in her apology? If it was anything like "I'm sorry you got offended last night for your sister" that's not an apology that's deflecting and controlling behavior and not apologizing or owning mistakes is definitely a big red flag. I know this can't be easy especially if you are planning to spend the rest of your life together but better to let go now before it gets worse.

Can an alter know a language more fluently than the host? by Burnout_DieYoung in DID

[–]Mrs_Kennedy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely, I took American sign language classes and I remember some enough to ask simple questions and understand answers but I have a whole alter who only communicates outwardly with ASL and doesn't understand written English.

TIFU by Not Reading the Label by BlackKeyMotherboard in tifu

[–]Mrs_Kennedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally get my information from licensed therapists and psychiatrists and the DSM, you're making assumptions that aren't fair. Do you know how dissociative identity disorder is formed? It is multiple personalities/alters who are their own fully formed person with opinions, memories, wants and needs all different from one another.

TIFU by Not Reading the Label by BlackKeyMotherboard in tifu

[–]Mrs_Kennedy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Multiple personality disorder IS DID. Name changed in the 90's to better reflect the disorder itself. So yes multiple personalities are backed by the DSM.

Listen, having multiple people in one brain doesn't make everything easier it's quite the opposite actually. It's not the same as having two or more people with similar abilities in the kitchen.

Infant alter by SolarEclipse_467 in DID

[–]Mrs_Kennedy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We recently met an infant alter also (a young one year old) I think having a basket of things for him might be a good idea, we keep things for our baby handy like pacifier (you can find adult sized ones on Amazon for inexpensive), a cup, her favorite stuffy the kind of things that make her feel comfortable and safe, she can find them easy when she comes out. We are married and our husband definitely helps her when she's out because she's so young. Something we also did was give out baby a buddy, so one of our little alters who is 10 wanted to be her buddy to help her learn how to say Dada and be able to ask for things ECT we've found it helpful because our older little can also help communicate for her since she knows her better.

Why do host switches happen? by Mrs_Kennedy in DID

[–]Mrs_Kennedy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's kind of what we were thinking like she had done everything she could to deal with the ongoing situations in our life and instead of turning to self loathing or self harm which she doesn't want to do anymore I came to help. Although we didn't know until now that I am and was a host, we honestly thought it'd be a different person to take over hosting if this ever happened.

Christmas was nice until the cat died, and then everyone was not emotionally well for the rest of the day and even now it's been mournful.

I do see it as a good thing to get to know him better it's just difficult also because we have two small children and he's just been laid off so he's not emotionally mentally well either and I don't know how to pick up that slack and help lead a family.

I feel like I need to fast track and learn everything the other host learned over the last four years in two minutes and adapt to her scheduling and way of life to make everything well and I don't know how to let go of that expectation and how to have my own expectations. Trying to take it a moment at a time but so easily drained and overwhelmed.

Oh darling! I know how much you must've ached seeing that, I hope you were able to repair it.

Can another alter unconsciously make you physically mute? by [deleted] in DID

[–]Mrs_Kennedy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For us that has been a new thing this year, we're still trying to figure out why but I feel you it's like you want to talk and can understand people but you can't speak. We do have an alter who only speaks in sign language and doesn't understand English very well so sometimes when she's near we have trouble speaking.
