I don't have DID...I don't do "parts" or anything like that in therapy but....
I despise her. The part of me who is needy and vulnerable ... the part of me who gets her feelings hurt... who cares what others think about her... who wants emotional support from others... who puts too much emphasis on the past... who wants things from people that they are just not capable of...

I'm a wife, mother and a full time working professional who has been able to function quite well without needing all of those things. I've never needed anything from anyone. I can see and meet others needs quite well. I can be what others need me to be. I'm so good I can almost forsee the needs of others before they do.

So I have a few weeks of "uncontrolled" (my term...which for me meant I felt emotions like anger and sadness) emotion and I went to see a therapist. Now 18 months later...instead of getting these emotions under control and getting back to the fuctioning person I used to be...the only result has been that the part of me I despise is around more and more and she is taking up more space and time in my brain than I can deal with...
she needs to disappear...

Anyone else ever feel this way? Does therapy always "help" or does it just make things worse? Is this just an "inbetween" feeling of therapy? Will I ever get back to feeling like the person I once was?
