This isn’t Epping Forest, but a pic of Muir Woods that I took on my visit to San Francisco in 2013.
Thanks to @DualityDreamers on Instagram for reminding me of this poem, written by several of my Alter Personalities: Forest Jacq, Larry, Munro, Shadoe, and Outside Jacq (me, the host)
This is probably the most open I’ve been about Dissociative Identity Disorder, and it’s no coincidence that this illness is one of the most demonised in mental health (along with Psychosis & Schizophrenia). Before I was diagnosed with DID, I only knew about it through horror films by its old name (Multiple Personality Disorder). People with DID are not the evil villains in life – if you want to see that, look at the people who hurt and abused us when we were so young.
Trigger Warnings in the poem: Mentions of child abuse, but nothing graphic or detailed.
