I remember a while back you posted about whether you had DID because you had an alter ego that comes out when you have been drinking and has recently been asserting power or something like that on and off when you are sober. I did some checking with a therapist around here that works with AA. he told me its not unusual for people who drink to have after affects where they feel like someone else is trying to control them. for the people he works with this is a symptom of their having alcohol related black outs, and the residual affect of the memory of what happens during black outs coming back to them as if its happening, sort of like a flashback or hallucination, but because of what alcohol related damage to the person physically and mentally they sometimes feel this affect is like having spit personality or alter ego, he did or does this not me stuff.

my suggestion like before is contact your treatment people - doctors, psychiatrists, therapists and AA. they can help you get the right diagnostic evaluations to find out if what is happening to you is alcohol related or if its BPD, DID or any other personality disorder you may feel you have.

do I live in peace with multiple personalities. when I wasnt integrated no. having DID is like having 2,3,4,5 different people in the same house with only one bathroom, one kitchen, one bedroom, one living room. everyone wants to their own things. sam wants to go swimming petey wants to play baseball, snookie wants to sleep, janice wants a long relaxing bath, mike wants a shower not a bath....

then theres also those you dont know are there and are not co conscious with, you are online one second the next you are on a gray hound bus bound for who the H!!! knows where, you are paying the rent and the next second you are in a restraunt eating a meal and having pay for it out of your rent money. you start out heading to the family reunion and end up standing in some bar bent over a pool table aiming the cue stick at the white ball.

it sometimes takes years to get diagnosed with DID then it takes years of therapy working on grounding skills, trauma work, work on things that come along with having DID like PTSD symptoms of anxiety, panic attacks, flashbacks nightmares, theres alot involved with DID then just having alters so it takes years and years to learn how to live in peace with the alternate personalities by working on things like triggers, communication, co consciousness, integration which some people choose and others it just happens.

my advice dont worry about how to live in peace with multiple personalities. this may not be what your problem is. the first step is talking with your doctors and treatment people, then go through diagnostic tests then your doctors and treatment people will help you come up with the right treatment plans and how to do things in the way that is right for you and what your problems are.
