My name is Kerry, and I am a multiple personality.
I have three active personalities and seven inactive ones. At one time
I had 12 personalities, but two of them left. You can read about this time
in my life at my MPD Website, in an article called "Our View Of Love".
I was physically, mentally and sexually abused as a child, and developed
the aspects or alters in my system as a means of coping with the fear and
pain that was a daily part of my life.
I was able to do this, and thus maintain enough stability to survive to
adulthood, because I was intelligent and creative. From the many multiples
that I have met, on line and in theraputic situations, I think intelligence
and creativity is a prerequisite for multiplicity. :)
I have been diagnosed as MPD/DID for over 20 years and have done a lot
of work in therapy and on my own. In that time I have learned a few things
that have not only made coping with my MPD/DID much, much easier, but have
filled my life with a sense of joy on a daily bases.
I really like myself today, ALL of me. I enjoy waking up in the morning,
and I enjoy doing the things that I do. I have a couple of web sites, and
I also enjoy assisting, when asked, those who are still struggling with
their MPD/DID.
I truly enjoy writing articles for my web sites. My articles deal with
what it was like, what I did, and what it is like now. Just in case you
don't know me, I have primarily used the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous
to learn to cope with my disorder. It is in view of this that I write my
articles.
Today, I no longer consider myself as having a disorder, but rather a "gift"
that has afforded me an opportunity to look at myself, my past and present,
and to move forward, toward my "Happy Destiny". You can read my articles,
