Happy chickens eggs are actually barn eggs - I watched a documentary on their advert showing chickens roaming freely and then the reality, chickens in dark barns. I have 5 chickens, Polly, Matilda, Emily, Sophie and Isabel. Its not unusual to come downstairs to find Isabel in the kitchen eating cat food as she always escapes her large run. The others behave and stay in. They're all different breeds so we have tiny Matilda up to mahoosive Polly! I'm waffling sorry.
Nooo! I didn't meant those Happy Chicken eggs! I meant the eggs of my chicken Max (he's a massive hen and looks male), Paula and Lilly! Luckily they don't escape their run that much and they don't come into the house (I tried to get Paula to walk through the house instead of around once, because it was raining and I didn't want to herd her back around the house - she was scared of the house). It's interesting to read about your chicken as I usually don't meet people who have chicken or are interested in chicken.

sorry to ask a question, just confused and was hoping someone could help me feel less confused. Saw my psychiatrist and cc today (it was a **** appointment, but I wont go into that) but my psych was saying about dissociation, as she has been for a while now, but then saying she wants me to talk to the teams psychologist as because of all the crap that has happened in my life some parts of me won't have developed properly and will still be like little kids and they will need time to be out in the open, but I don't feel like I have alters or anything, although I remember when I was with my ex he was saying I referred to myself as 'we' a lot, and I do a lot, but yeah I was wondering for those who have alters did you know you did before someone sort pulled them out of you, like a therapist or have you always known since they have been there?
hope people are doing ok.

Oliver, for me this is a difficult question. When I was still IP my psychologist there practised with me what it could be like to have a first appointment with a therapist outside of hospital. He asked me 'Who are you?' I was trying to make a joke and said 'Which 'me' are you talking about?'. He didn't get that it was a joke and wrote in the letter to my new therapist that he is wondering whether I'm a multiple personality or not. Oh great! I was talking with the new therapist (C.) about this and after 3 or 4 sessions he said that I have something called Ego States. That was 2 and a half years ago. Last September/October things got really confusing and we started to work on figuring out if I'm multiple or if I have Ego States. Currently everything points towards multiple and I'm getting the therapy multiple personalities should get.
I didn't know that we were multiple, but I think the others in our system knew that. Obviously, because they were always called 'Laura' but they weren't me and they are a different age than I am.
Anyway, umm. Maybe I can make a few examples that can help you to get a picture of what it really means to be mutiple. But I think I'll write that in a pm to you, because it's probably too much information to write all that here in a reply to this thread!
Just a last thought at the end: For me it was at first scary to get the diagnosis DID, I didn't want to have that! Now that I'm more used to it and working on things it is actually a relief! I wouldn't know how to make it through some days without my alters, especially if we have a class that always triggers me I can ask one of them to go to that class (like today).

Will write more meaningful words when I'm in the right head space.
Laura we must talk chickens sometime - I thought you meant the Happy Hens, lol! Polly is huge - a Plymouth Rock and the size (and weight) of a rather large turkey!

^ we used to have one with that colour! She was called Holunderbärbel (= Elderberry, Bärbel is a name) because she kept eating the elderberry! I think my chicken are all about that size, except Max he is bigger! I don't know what breed that is but she was more expensive, too.
I'm a bit worried about the stomach pain. 5 weeks ago only I was getting it. Now there's 2 others that get the same stomach pain as I get when I'm triggered. What does that mean? Does that mean there is a memory coming back (that belongs to the pain)?

Sorry I'm all over the place but I'm sorry everyone is having a hard time. I've dissociated badly twice today and I feel I'm falling apart inside. My mum yelled at me to get me out the flashback but I feel so small and little but to protect her I pretend to be ok. Sorry I'm really struggling I'm so confused sorry.
Yep that is far too many tablets to take in a week and a half. If this is happening often then you need to see it for what it is - a problem. And with any problem you need help to overcome it, be it advice on here, seeing your GP and asking for smaller scripts or a supervised withdrawal, that sort of thing. What does taking these tablets do for you? Give you a high? Dull your emotions?

Is it? You can take 8 tablets a day. I haven't been taking over that.
I have physical pain in my pelvis but they think it's to do with past trauma. I need to get another prescription but I'm worried it's going to concern my GP now.
It helps me to relax and takes the edge off the pain. My emotions seems easier to manage with the codeine.
