I am older and I see that there is a lot of feelings that I don't experience fully because they are shared between several alters. My desire now is to live a full concussions life with all of us as one. It is possible. It is sometimes scary and takes work but I know it is possible. Get to know your system that helped me a lot in the beginning. Take care.
Thank you for the helpful reply. It's really comforting to me--another newbie--to understand DD and DID. I am just learning to understand how my system works.
Right now, gratitude is helping me a lot. When I express gratitude to the different "supporting roles" in my life, I feel better and more in control.

Thanks!!
