Cherrys Army

There have been many books written by and about people who have undergone horrible experiences in life. My purpose in writing this account is not to describe the atrocities that I experienced. It is to chronicle the recovery process and explain how I coped as a child, and how I am coping now, with Dissociative Identity Disorder. There are other personalities in my body. DID is very confusing and very scary. If by recording my strategies in book form, I can help even one person to deal with their own distress and either remain, or become, a functional member of society, I will consider this account a success. When I first began to put my account in book form, I thought I would group the verses together according to the feelings expressed in them. I did a few verses that way before I discovered that most of the verses portrayed a number of different feelings. As I continued compiling the manuscript I decided to include them in the order that seemed to fit them. I tried to keep them in the order they were written, but as I had already mixed them up that proved to be impossible. I tried very hard not to include any verses more than once. Please excuse me for any duplicates.
