So she said im 'splitting'.....the pains of Dissociative amnesia ///
Dissociative amnesia (formerly psychogenic amnesia): the temporary loss of recall memory, specifically episodic memory, due to a traumatic or stressful event. It is considered the most common dissociative disorder amongst those documented. This disorder can occur abruptly or gradually and may last minutes to years depending on the severity of the trauma and the patient....
So I'm thinking all this talk of a dual diagnosis of borderline personality disorder and post traumatic stress disorder could just be the result of 'programming.' I'm no bloodline, but I had a hand in my knickers and a fist in my face many times.........

Yeastie girl ////////
The opening night was extremely busy, the gallery was packed full and it also featured the ‘Don’t Stop Me Until…’ performance from Agata Cardoso. Agata’s performance lasted for around 30 minutes and featured the repetitive behaviour of the artist eating a ribbon whilst naked, with a metronome ticking away, aiming “to slow everything down, mind, body and raise personal conscience and awareness to bring out emotions in people that they would not usually experience or feelings and emotions they do not usually like to confront”. Agata succeeded in stopping people in their tracks, mesmerized by, and questioning, what they were watching in this corner of the gallery. I really loved her performance and the direct dialogue she created between performer and audience was intense, captivating and important.
