It’ll be live on facebook! https://www.facebook.com/RepShOVID19/

Oh haha I forgot that might not be commonly used! A DOS is a Director Of Studies: they guide your studies at Cambridge, in a sense. A DOS is over a year group in a subject, so I have a different DOS to the mathematicians in the year above, or the Historians in my year.

What that actually means (for me) is that she meets me at the beginning and end of term, making sure I'm okay with how my studies are going. I intend to talk to her about chosing courses for next year, and the application program for masters.

You need your DOS to vouch for you when applying for part III (the masters program at Cambridge), applying for funding &c

Haha! Yeah so in that scene in Wendimoor where he goes on about them being in Canada, and pointing at one of the Bofuki Napoo and saying “That guy’s Canadian”?

They actually filmed the show in Canada. Most of their actors are Canadian. He was probably actually right about those things.

It cracks me up every time.

1.If you’re an author, how many WIPs do you currently have? (Be honest!)

There’s They Say We’re Crazy, Only The Wild Ones, a girl’s night prompt I’m working on and the DGHDA UFO scifi mystery fic I just started yesterday, so four! 

7. What’s the last thing you read that made you cry?

I think the last thing I read that made me cry wasn’t fic, but a poem in The Princess Saves Herself In This One by Amanda Lovelace.

14. Post a line of dialogue from one of your WIPs without context.

Also did that here but since I have multiple, here goes:  “Even wild animals need love, you know.”

Because somebody in here screams “NO! DON’T YOU DARE!” every time we even think about it. 

We’re extremely covert. The only reason we get away with this blog is that it’s anonymous and we’ve taken care to avoid disclosing anything about our real identity here. 

We’ve been seeing our current therapist about a year and even though we were previously diagnosed with DID, we didn’t tell her that or transfer our medical records, so she didn’t know. I went in for therapy intending to just get help for my anxiety and depression (thinking I could somehow do that without addressing the fact that I have DID... lol). 

After a few months of therapy she started talking about PTSD, and then CPTSD, and then “severe dissociation”, and then “parts of self”. So basically we went through the entire diagnostic process all over again. But a bunch of us are still really freaked out about talking in person about having DID. 

Back when we were diagnosed the first time around we basically received our diagnosis and then immediately bailed on therapy because of denial. I’m trying really hard to avoid that this time. So we are going slow and being very careful. Like instead of saying Jude we say “the working part” and instead of saying Hannah we say “the brave part”. 

I don’t know. We might give her a few names next time. Things are getting confusing. This last session we talked about 6 different parts and at least 3 of us were present in the session, so it got really confusing.
