Inner world for me carried me through most of my life which seems pretty strange because most of it was quite frightening... a world of good vs. evil type thing. I was diagnosed bipolar schizoaffective for 20 yrs.
Last December D.I.D. was added to the list. That's when the personalities started making themselves known ( all I can guess as to why they started coming out so rapidly after dx was because they began to feel validated... really not sure though). I met a few many years ago but only for a very short time. Complex internal and external world (hallucinations) throughout that time that I didn't connect with MPD.
So, yeah, lots of anti-psychotics...
Massive phobia of them have I.
Anti-psychotic refuser... and being able to feel safe refusing them was a long, uphill battle.
Thanks for this thread.
Inner world indicates good communication b/w alters?! This I had not heard of. Thank you muchly for that information!

when you say psychotropics, do you mean a mood stabilizer, antidepressant, etc.? just curious because antipsychotics are also psychotropics.
i personally never found a mood stabilizer or SSRI type medications useful for me. they made things a lot worse for me symptom wise.
but i know that everyone responds different too, so what works for one is not what works for all.
