Mental health isn’t the only issue

Posted on by The Multifarious Mind

Hello all, well my mental health isn’t the only issues I have to deal with. Along with DID, CPTSD, and anxiety I also deal with chronic pain from fibromyalgia, chronic headaches, post traumatic epilepsy due to a severe beating in a home invasion which I will write about another time, back issues, bladder issues, and digestive issues. I tell you this because your physical health and mental health can definitely “rub each other the wrong way.” I had a bladder test done and it put me into a tailspin with my mental health. The catheters used during the test brought back some really horrible memories and had my dissociation going all over the place. It also had me switching between parts very rapidly. I am learning to prepare myself better with the physical stuff to try and keep the mental issues calmer. I am having some procedures done tomorrow dory digestive issues and will be sedated so I am trying to not be so anxious about that one of the reasons I am writing about it here hoping it will help. Wish me luck on this tomorrow and I will let everyone know when I am able to get on and write about it the outcomes.

Peace and love,

The Multifarious Mind

I was a victim until I learned to be a survivor through creativity. My art and poetry taught me how to become more than I ever thought possible. I am a survivor of emotional, physical, sexual, and violent abuse. Trauma is the only thing I have known throughout my life. I was born into abuse and lived in it even throughout most of my adult life. I am an advocate of mental health especially dissociative disorders. I am plural, we are many in one body. I have Dissociative Identity Disorder, DID, and want to be a part of the community I belong to with this disorder that helps to stop the stigma against this disorder. I want to raise awareness and help others see what DID really is to those who have it. My parts are my family they saved me. My brain did what it did for me at such a young age to save me from the abuses I was suffering. I am as open as I can be now about this to help inform others and also show those that have this disorder and who have gone through the traumas that cause this that there's hope and a community to turn to. My art and poetry are the main things that will be displayed in this blog, but I also hope to add some educational materials for others to look into and see the truths behind DID not the sensationalized stigmas that are out there about DID. I hope you enjoy the poetry and art that comes from such deep emotions and pain. If it just resonates with one person than I have accomplished exactly what I wanted to.
