Phoenix Rising

As I said in the About Me I have Dissociative Identity Disorder. I am hoping by blogging here I might be able to help others reading this who might be facing similar issues. I’m also hoping it will give me a space to further explore my own healing. I have always wanted to journal but have never done so before. As a child it would never have been safe to have a written record of my thoughts and feelings and this fear has carried on into adulthood. I now feel strong enough and safe enough to write about my journey. Dissociative Identity Disorder used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder. It is created by severe childhood trauma. As I have travelled along my journey it has been disturbing to learn that my trauma began when I was still a baby. Multple traumas where inflicted until I left home at the young age of fourteen years old. I will not be discussing details of my trauma on this site. If I write about something that I feel may be triggering to others then I will always place a triggering warning before that content. I will be writing about my mental health and topics will include self harm and my eating disorder. I will be exploring how everything has impacted my physical health and the challenges I have faced there. I will discuss coping mechanisms that have been helpful for me including my hobbies, I am an avid video gamer. I will talk about my spituality and how that affects me and my system. Ocassonally other Alters might post their own thoughts and experiences too. If you read something on any of my posts and feel I should have posted a trigger warning then please feel free to let me know via the comments. I want this to be a safe space for myself and for anyone that reads my story. Looking forward to hopefully making a differnce in the world. Phoenix
