Hi Jen,

I just wanted to say, like others on this forum, I have been where you are. It is scary at first. Really scary. But as you get to know these voices (often asking them questions like do they have a favorite color? Or have they seen sunshine?) things become less scary. I now know some of my alters very well and they support me and comfort me when I am feeling overwhelmed. I made quite a bit of progress right from the start with that feeling of overpowering fear. This will pass, you are not crazy! You can handle it. There are many ways to get immediate support to quiet the chaotic feelings that rush out at first. For me medication was a miracle however other people choose not to take medication which is great. Some people I have met can learn with T's help how to self soothe without any medication whatsoever. I think that is wonderful but I wasn't able to do that. You might want to discuss these things with your T.

Welcome to all of yous.
