So I went out and purchased a dry erase board and colored dry erase markers. The board is a decal that I could attack straight onto my stainless steel refrigerator. It is perfect, for my small apartment.
My advocate came over and one by one, he called out 5 of the 6 alters. I still believe Kaos is a fragment...that is the one he did not call out. Anyhoo, they all picked a color and signed their names.
We discovered that Sophie does not spell her name like I have been spelling it, she spells it "sophee". small s, double e. All the names have double letters...my advocate said that is their way of a sisterhood...okay....
2 are left handed, 2 are ambidextrous, and 3 are right handed.
There was mixed reaction from the girls about the board.
Ally and Sammy loved it and are excited to use it.
Tessa is just wondering if she will have to clean it.
sophee and lilly are not thrilled and have reservations.
Sammy is only aware of Ally, and she remembers Lilly from a long time ago. She is not aware of the others.
I could hear snippets of conversation between sophee and the advocate...which is a surreal feeling....a light headedness like...
Lilly chose the red marker, because she draws a heart for her dot on the "i".
sophee chose purple as that is her favorite color.
Ally chose green, which is her favorite color.
I chose black.
Tessa chose blue, because her eyes are blue.
Sammy used a duplicate color...but the advocate is gonna get her a pink marker...
So, I can sorta hear conversation between the advocate and sophee. I can see just behind my right shoulder Lilly hovering.
I can sometimes see Ally playing...like I am looking down a long tube and watching her.
I can feel when sophee is about to front, I get uptight and angry inside and clench my fist. With Ally, I get a giddy feeling before she fronts. I get nothing with Tessa or Sammy or Kaos.
However Lilly and sophee cause me headaches when they front, but I don't get headaches with the others.
For the first month, I am only to ask "get to know you" questions on my board.
Will they answer?
I am really hoping this experiment with the board will help me to accept and get to know them better.

PS I posted the question: " What color is your hair?" and Sammy wrote back "blonde"...even though Sammy did not respond with a green marker, like her name, her handwriting is very deliberate, so we know this is Sammys answer.
I've just discovered I have D.I.D. Its not easy for me or my alters. As you read these blog entries, some are by me and some are by them. Each one us expressing a moment of joy or frustration as we learn to adapt to our new life and flood of bad memories.
