👋 Hi everyone, I’m Rhea 🩷
I wanted to introduce myself properly & explain a little bit about who I am, what Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is, and the role I play here, especially in the evenings 🕰️💫
🧠 First — What is DID?
DID is a trauma condition where the mind/self splits into different parts/identities to cope with things too big or painful to handle all at once. We all share this one body, but we have our own names, personalities, feelings, likes/dislikes, roles and ways of being. We are all different parts that make up the whole, working together to keep us safe, alive and moving through life 💛
🌸 A little bit about ME — Rhea:
✨ My Role: I am a PROTECTOR & MUMMA BEAR 🐻🩷
I am the one who guides, nurtures, teaches and holds everything together. My whole job is to look after Gabz (and all of us), help her navigate life, manage our health, keep on top of the household/routines/plans, and make sure all needs are met — physical, emotional, medical & sensory 🩹
I love order, lists, routine, making things nice & organised, and looking after everyone. I’m patient, steady, caring, and always planning ahead to keep us safe and well.
Over time I’ve learnt exactly what Gabz needs, how her health works, what helps and what doesn’t — I know her better than anyone because I’m always looking out for her ❤️
🌙 Why I am usually ACTIVE IN THE EVENINGS:
I tend to come forward & take the lead from late afternoon / early evening right through until bedtime 🕕🌙
This is because:
✅ Gabz gets very tired, overwhelmed, sensory-overloaded or worn out from the day (especially with Autism, ADHD, FND & BPD) — so I step in to take the weight off her so she can rest/switch off 🩹
✅ Evenings are for winding down, routine, dinner, meds, preparing for tomorrow… and this is exactly what I am best at 📋✨
✅ I like to make sure everything is calm, safe, organised and settled before we sleep, so I hold the space & keep things running smoothly while everyone else can relax.
I am always here in the background too, but evening time is my time to care for us all 💖
