Then I will get angry and not want to talk to anyone, lean on anyone, acknowledge my issues, and everything triggers me to anger.
I keep thinking I'm growing, learning, healing, and then realize it was only a phase. I hate this. It's like the skills I try to learn when I'm feeling down are only learned by the whole, balanced part, who doesn't need the skills really anyway, and not by the parts who really need one. I'm soooo frustrated!!
I don't know what I'm looking for really. Maybe just someone who gets it.
How do I learn skills so that the parts that need it the most can learn them and use them? I feel like I will never find balance, unless it's by switching alters.

Im sorry we cant tell you whether you are getting better or just switching (the title of your post) only your treatment providers can answer that for you.
when I have had similar problems my treatment provider called it many different things depending on other accompanying symptoms.
how to learn the skills...keep working with your treatment providers, they know what treatment plans you are presently on and how to best approach skills like grounding, mindfulness, and addressing your alters needs, with you and your alters.
