Hi Clairitytoo,

Thank you so much for the response! I never thought that my alter could be a helper, but I will give that idea some thought. As for the sleep issue I'm actively looking for ways to get better sleep. A friend of mine takes a supplement called "Iron Dream" that's supposed to help with deep sleep cycles, and I'm going to try it myself. It would be SO nice to at least get one good night sleep.

In regards to my alter, I'm not sure if I have one or more than one since they are all me. We share the same name, age and life experiences it seems, so its hard to tell us apart. What I do know is other me's can take over and act/say things that I would never do. My spiritual counselor and I theorize at least one of my alters is a teenage girl, and she probably came about from some trauma I experience when I was 18. So far I haven't been able to communicate with any alters, instead all I can do is get glimpses of memories of what I said or did in an altered state.

The good news is I recently started hearing voices in my head, and I heard that was a positive sign when you have DID. I'm guessing the voices are my alters though, and I'm one step closer to being able to communicate with them. I will try to not judge my alter by her actions though, but its hard. I blame them for ruining my life, but I understand they are just a piece of me. They do and say bad things though and disrupt my life, not to mention my sleep!!

Again, thank you so much for your insight!! I truely appreciate you reading my post and responding.
