I have been diagnosed with DID with in the last two years. I still find it difficult to accept. I find it almost impossible to believe that my thinking is not the same as everyone ele's. When my therapist talks about the thoughts in her head it is completely different from the way I experience my thoughts. Mine disagree with one another, they take control when needed or at least that is how it used to be. Now they pop out and talk to people who don't know them. I am unable to prevent this from happening. I don't see it coming but all of a sudden I am cursing like a trooper to someone who doesn't know me like that. I hear me but that is all I can do. I have always considered my "alters" to be moods. I would think of myself as being in a different mood and that is why I acted differently than usual. My question is How do I get my alters to talk to me? I hear them talk to each other (in my head) but now that I know they are alters with their own thoughts, memories and experiences I have tried to talk to them. I get not responce. In fact sometimes it becomes very quite. My therapist has told me to talk to them and they will eventually talk to me. The only time any of them talk directly to me is to make a statement not to have a dialogue. I am overwhelmed by the diagnosis and just wish someone who knows what it is like, can give me some advice.
