1. Have you been struggling with anything lately?
Before all of the CV pandemic, I was struggling with the day to day issues that come with DID, along with the recent ending of a relationship.
2. If there was anything you could do differently in your life, what would it be?
As horrible as this sounds, I would choose not to have children. I feel like I have burdened their lives with my issues.
3. If you could have dinner with any person (alive or deceased) tonight, who would you choose and why?
My grandmother, I have so many questions to ask her about her life.
I haven't been checking in every day, but I am glad there is this option for me if i need some support. I don't usually ask for help because i feel like I should be able to handle it myself, like I've always done. I've spent a lifetime keeping people at a distance, either for their safety or my own.
Wishing everyone a good, safe day...hugs if you want them 🤗
@affectionateNorth4018 hope you don

1. Have you been struggling with anything lately?
Besides being in a risk group for COVID-19, I have been hallucinating with my abuser again. It makes handling my feelings really hard. I feel lost and I need someone to talk to me - but besides having loads of listeners, five different friends texting me and a lot more who would hear me no problem, I don't feel like I can open up.
2. If there was anything you could do differently in your life, what would it be?
Maybe apply myself better in highschool. I'd be a different person, maybe smarter, maybe a little more antsy. But I would have a job, and that's good enough for me.
3. If you could have dinner with any person (alive or deceased) tonight, who would you choose and why?
Today I'd like to have dinner with my uncle who passed away two years ago. He always took care of me and he'd always make me laugh. He was like my second dad.

1. Have you been struggling with anything lately?
A few things. My cousin having the coronavirus, online school, difficulty sleeping, being quarantined, prom and graduation likely being canceled. And having a 3-year old to watch the entire day. I don't mind at all, but I have so mnay things to do, including online school and house chores and it's a tough balance to find - I have to make sure everything gets done but also make sure he doesn't do something out of curiosity and hurt himself.
2. If there was anything you could do differently in your life, what would it be?
Back in November, when basketball season was just starting and I found out I wasn't on the list to play in the season-opening game, I should have pushed the coach further. I should have convinced him to put me on that list. I didn't argue out of respect, because I knew the team roster wasn't done yet so I tried to be patient and wait for his decision, but I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have waited until I was cut from the team altogether! (even though I still came to every practice and conditioning session before tryouts)
3. If you could have dinner with any person (alive or deceased) tonight, who would you choose and why?
My grandpa. He passed a little over a year ago and never got to see some of the best moments of my life, but also one of the hardest. I wish more than anything that I could have him back for just one night and tell him all of that. He always talked about wanting to come to my college signing party. Back in junior year I didn't think I'd make it that far. But he never stopped believing in me. He'd always say "Yes you will Emirson! And then you'll say, 'You were right grandpa Ron.' " He was right, after all. I wish I could tell him that. And back when I got cut from varsity (I'm so sorry I keep bringing it up) I wish I could tell him how much I needed his kind words and undying support.

1. Have you been struggling with anything lately?
I've been struggling with my mood and fear. I am trying not to be irrational.
2. If there was anything you could do differently in your life, what would it be?
I feel like there's a ton of things I could have done differently but I guess I am happy with the people in my life now and if the string of events that brought me here changed, I would not have them and would be very different.
3. If you could have dinner with any person (alive or deceased) tonight, who would you choose and why?
I would have dinner with my grandmother because I haven't seen her for a while and I'm worried about her with this disease and she's worried about me, too.
