Hey Jen....

I'm sorry that your head is so noisy right now!! What this is actually is your system of alters. When those with DID get to a certain point where conscious communication between the system begins inside, the head can get pretty darn noisy. What is happening here is that your alters, struggling to be heard yet scared to come forward, are all talking over eachother. I'm sure it feels like nothing makes sense right now...but as you and T move forward in getting to know your system, the noise will quiet down.

Over the last 7 months of being aware of my DID, I have been able to get to a place where most of my alters can either hear one another or speak to one another. This is a place that you can work to get to with T. It can take some time, and everyone gets there at their own pace...but it is very possible for you.

Some suggestions...when it gets noisy...if you can sit down with a journal and just let yourself, or whoever wants to just write out what they need to get out, sometimes this can quiet them down.

I think everyone's system goes through a bit of a shock when things start to come into the light. They've been hiding for so long to protect you and now they are coming out of the dark. It's scary for the system.

You will be okay!! Keep posting here!! We will support you through this crazy journey!!

Take care!!
