My boyfriend has DID and he often has convulsions when is triggered. He always covers himself in a blanket, face down, and is sometimes conscious and sometimes not. He convulses violently and I have started rubbing his back and holding his hand. I say things like "I love you" "You are safe" "Nate I need you to stop now" in a calm and firm voice. When he is conscious he says that helps when I talk to him. Last time he was unconscious but I was able to pull him out of the convulsions in about 30 seconds by holding his hand and talking to him so it seems effective. I never freak out and I have read that being calm helps. Is there anything else I can do to help?
