I think I was one of those who moved among alters as external demands changed. As those shifted we switched. The priority always has been meeting external circumstances no matter what our feelings or needs or preferences. Things have actually gotten harder since finding out because now we notice switches or little intrusions or feelings that don't match the situation. The first time the main fronter/everyday part noticed a switch it was profoundly destabilizing and frightening.
Noticing the switches made the time glitches much more obvious, and then upsetting. Blissful ignorance is gone. It was never blissful, though. |
Hey, I'm like you, switching as required for situations and life events. It's not only noticeable, it also has gotten to be anticipated....even expected.
I'm just like you hun, always changing to handle the moment. Years of trauma and oppressive abuse made us who we are today. Memory riddled with holes. Instead of handling life situations like normals can, an alter had to emerge to do the job.
I found relief though, I found that which explains me. Now my search is over and I completely know and understand why I am. Now the healing (if any) can begin.
I hope that you find your peace with it and that you recover well.
