A very definite possibility. For me though.... I have multiple personality disorder, so she's another personality that exerts herself on occasion.

Thanks!

It was a rather simple set, but I agree how it lends itself to a certain atmosphere.

Thank you so much... it's actually a high waisted skirt, the rest is probably how the boa is worn. I made the skirt and I love it so much although it gets tangled sooooo easily!

No, I just have very active characters in my head... I think. I haven't been to a head doctor, I'm scared they'll put me on meds and block my creative flow...

You're welcome! She seems interesting!

Ah.... trust me, you'll know if you have multiple personalities, it is much more than just having active characters in your head. There are definite signs. Doctors aren't all bad, psychologists can be very helpful in the ways of psycho therapy and do not have the ability to prescribe any meds. It can be extremely helpful to some.

Thanks.

Yea... One doctor told me I was bipolar, and depressed, and put me on meds that made me all voodoo zombie like. People tell me psychologists are better, though. How well do they actually listen?

Well there are bad and good apples in every bunch (or profession) I'm sure. I've gone through a string of doctors and I've had some very good ones. But I can't say for sure that all psychologists are excellent at their job and listen well. The plus side is that psychologists cannot prescribe you any meds and work with you in other ways. Sometimes people may need meds. My "disorder" is not caused by any kind of chemical imbalance, therefore the only thing they can give me is the same thing schizophrenics are prescribed which just makes me sleepy. Another plus about psychologists is that because they cannot prescribe meds, they are more apt to help you work through what the actual problem is. Psycho therapy is their only option. Unfortunately many doctors (psychiatrists and medical doctors) are far too quick to label bi-polar and depression and throw drugs at the situation. So this could be an option for you.

Mental illness and disorders aren't always the "I'm a tortured artist" aspect, they can lead to very dangerous situations. With multiple personalties, I was a threat to others, and wouldn't even know it. I had to get things under control.

I'll have to try and find a good one... the waiting lists are always misreably long when I do try and make an appointment. They were just so quick to put me on medication, and at the time, I was 14. To me, it seems hard to label someone bipolar when they're teens. It could just be the hormones, school, or part of another disorder. From what I've read of disorders, a lot of them seem to be caused (if that could be the correct word,) by some sort of trauma, and the disorder is the brain's way of trying to protect the person.

I can understand that, is it all working out better?

Acid-PopTart In reply to LissyBear [2009-09-02 13:10:00 +0000 UTC]

You were 14?! It makes perfect sense - they're labeling teens all as bi-polar, they just did this to my husband's younger sister and put her on Zoloft. In college, before Prozac had become the drug of choice, I did a biology research thesis on the effects of the drug on the brain and it's impact on younger teens and their increase in suicidal thoughts. You'd be surprised what is actually done to get through FDA testing, it's a tragedy.

Not all the time, but yes, most likely in teens it's a hormonal change, growing pains, stress of school and peer pressure, it's what many have gone through without the help of medication and here we are not allowing our kids to actually "grow up" and learn how to handle it? We all have that right to be the mopey teen, heartbroken and writing tragic poetry that we can look back at years later and laugh!!! And to place a label like that on someone so young, I think it's horrible.

Yes, many disorders are over-developed defense mechanisms that were created to save a child from going totally insane from immense trauma. Natural disasters (such as hurricanes and tsunamis), wars and long term physical abuse are the main causes. In the mid to late twenties, the system breaks down and you realize something is really wrong.

On the plus side though, I can see the joy from a child's eye still and it's amazing. It's not all doom and gloom in my system and I'm never truly alone! I'm very lucky, although I did receive very bad help that once tried to label me as schizophrenic, I did receive good help and was with the man I later married who helps me immensely. I have over 50 personalties now, with about 20 who regularly "come out" still. He knows them all and although life gets rough at times, we get through. You will too - without the zombie drugs and someone trying to keep you medicated all the time.

I'd believe it. Zoloft has really bad effects on my family-my mom and all her sisters has worse suicidal thoughts on it. They had put me on lexapro and lithium, twice a day. I felt worse on it. The whole thing had started because my mom had found out I was cutting, and some suicide notes I had written. They put me in an outpatient program, and while the people in charge of the therapy were great, the doctors weren't. Everyone of the people in there (all of us were 18 and under,) were deemed "bipolar" and on medication for it. I had kept in touch with one of the girls, also a cutter. Last I heard, she had gotten much worse and was being checked back in.

It's almost funny how the body seems to hurt itself when it's only trying to protect itself. The one I'm most familiar with is repressed memories. From the time I was 4 until 14, my childhood memories were blurred and blotchy. An incident just a few months before I began cutting caused me to remember more than I wanted, and that combined with some recent tragedies and a breakup caused me to...well, lose it. I'm somewhat frightened that there's still some things to come unleashed in the next 10 or so years.

It's great things have worked out. You and your husband both sound like very strong people.

Sometimes I do my own make up, sometimes I have a make up artist, I work a lot with Mary Kelly who's my favourite MUA - she did the Rock-N-Roll Horror Punk Bride of Frankenstein shoot and there's so many subtle things a MUA can do that I don't. I love her work.

Here I did my own make up, if it's the skull make up, I'm pretty much doing it myself. I'll usually note in the comments if someone else did my make up.

I love my skirt - took forever to put together, especially the spiderweb part!
