A Recap Of Today

by Sophie - 13 August 2009

I didn’t sleep very well last night…the mere fact that I stayed in bed til 11 am highlighted that. I had an appointment today with my psychologist and my parents were coming with me. Yay.

New Stomping Ground, New Ways Of Getting About

by Peter - 1 June 2009

It’s very hard to describe how I feel in my new country. It’s exciting and worrying finding and applying for jobs. Half the time it’s boring in this in-between time.

This is a bit long-winded, but hopefully it’s easy to read and rich in content, so bear with me here… :)

There are some out there who say that people with Body Integrity Identity Disorder often have some early interaction with people with disabilities, which eventually leads to "acquiring" BIID. Some may have relatives or friends with disabilities, or have constant contact with people with disabilities. It is very possible that this contact may manifest itself in someone’s early childhood memories and eventually morph into BIID.
