Thirteen years I walked past my therapist’s Christmas Cactus and never thought to ask for a start until now. The three spider plant starts from the surgeon are growing like weeds. They were so tiny when I got them. I snagged a start from the hospital’s bed of pathos. It’s being rooted in the fish […]

Today is one of those days where I feel the weight of what happened in the hospital. I feel shocked, stunned, grieved. I can only describe it as a train wreck where I can still hear the sound of metal crumbling around me. What I feel today must be what I was feeling when I […]
Finding artwork created by alter personalities used to happen quite a bit. I thought it was strictly a thing of the past but I guess I was wrong. It would seem that I still find art I don’t know a thing about. I was quite shocked to see the piece called My Sister in the […]
In therapy we talked about the unfinished image “Both of Us”, drawn by Robert over a two day period.

“The Unseen” is a painting by my 12 year old alter named Michelle who has been out quite a bit lately. She’s doing therapy with Dr. D right now so there will surely be more art from her displayed on the blog. The art piece was started by layering paint then smearing ink until she […]
Content: Sexual abuse. Innocence of children. Violent speech. Anxiety insight. I vomited up details just to give them away because I don’t want them anymore. I’ve not gotten to say what I want to say, the way I want to say it. He doesn’t flinch when I add anger and resentment to my words. We […]
I just read the entry written by Ariel Michelle. I don’t remember it at all. I remember the art. I remember why it was drawn but I don’t remember, at all, writing that journal entry. I never did write exactly what Dr. D and I discussed in session because the only thing I wanted to […]
