Hi Karen!

You are absolutely incredible. I met a woman a couple years ago with DID and she showed me her journal with all the different handwritings, and she had sketches of the personalities. I am so glad that someone had the strength and the courage to allow their story to become a book, because it offered a whole level of insight into what she was struggling with. I still am so impressed with you and how amazing you are. Your story made me cry, and knowing that you are not losing time anymore is a miracle and is so wonderful.

Thank you again for letting the world know you story, its one more step to ending the horrible stigma of mental illness.

Dear Amy,

Thank you for your kind compliment! When making the decision to share my story, Dr. Baer and I both hoped to reach all those who have suffered, or knew of someone who had suffered, with multiplicity. I’m glad my story helped you understand the woman you met a few years ago. Hearing stories such as yours touches me. I agree, Switching Time has brought a whole new level of insight to a once incomprehensible illness. Sharing brings knowledge and knowledge brings wisdom. I continue to learn something new about myself each day.

I truly appreciate your thoughts and though my story made you cry, please know that I’m alive and well, thanks to Dr. Baer and my alters, who protected me my entire life.

Wishing you all my best!

Karen
