Mm.

I may not be sane.

I may not be coping.

My house may be a wreck.

But my hyssop plant is flowering.

Mm. :)

Musings upon multiplicity

Last night, I wrote to netdancer, who I know from alt.callahans, asking about resources for multiplicity that didn't pathologize.

I got a few website links.

So I've been reading them.

I could almost have written this. Well, aside from the pronouns. I even have a period in my memory that is definitely "identity amnesia". And my thoughts associating with that make me wonder if some of my internal plurality was in response to those events, though I suspect I'm at least partially a "born that way" sort.

And this also has a strong familiarity for me. (Remember I was talking about multitasking the other day, Brooks-love?)

It seems to me that a lot of systems have personalities divided up on age-bands in some way; I wonder how common it is for the divisions to fall more along purpose than age.

I also find it interesting to note that I have four aspects whose significant roles include processing anger. (Rage and other "red" emotions, moral wrongness, self-hatred, and cold poison.) (I have three that process religious stuff as a prime role, two that are 'fronts' for dealing with the outside, two that do intimacy, two that do music . . . these are overlapping sets, incidentally. The "moral wrongness" anger-processor is one of the religious processors, f'rex.)

Noodle, noodle.

Please to not be channeling the spirit of Bill Buckner.

Okay?

For one thing, he's not dead.
