I feel very leery about posting here. I have an issue with disclosing the fact that I am DID. I am not ashamed, it's just that most people just don't understand or even believe DID is real. So I have to be cautious.
What you are saying here is so true. To be accepted by those around us we have to appear like them. But here you do not have to pretend. This PC world has given so many of us a place to just be.

I spend 99% of my days hiding that there are others inside. It's very hard work, it takes all my strength and it's very emotionally and physically draining. In saying that, hopefully whoever reads this will understand how hard it is for me to even post here, about this subject, and be gentle...

But, that's kind of beside the point of this thread. I just wanted to throw that out there because I'm afraid of being judged or anything...
Just give your selves time. When I first came here I put some people on my ignor list. Just because those within me were not strong enough to hold my own when they came at me with a different apionion. But in time those within me where able to let them have their own appionion and know that they could not hurt me for believing in what I/we did. That to will come in time

Anyway, today my T said that I will never be able to have any kind of control unless I get to know everyone that's in my system. When I asked how I am supposed to do that, he said he didn't know.

I am really,really trying to get to know everyone, but I am not making very much progress. And I feel so frustrated and discouraged with the whole thing and I feel like giving up.

It would be much easier if they all just announced themselves. But that's not the case, so I'm really not sure what to do.

Any ideas or suggestions?
