In the past when I was having panic attacks or bouts of depression I would keep trying to figure out why and never get the answer. Now that I am aware of my alters I will ask if someone is having a difficult time or if someone is scared or angry. Now most times I get an answer. Usually it is someone who is not liking the time of year or the people I am with. One of my alters is have trouble. When I listen they tell me it is them. They don't always tell me why they are having those feelings. I comfort them and reassure them that we are safe and I will not put us in a bad situation where someone can hurt us. I tell them I will protect us. This very often helps change what I was feeling. Maybe this could work for you and your system. I think it helps my alters to feel safe and acknowledged.
