now days someone dying due to being DID is very rare. this is because it is now treatable. treatment providers know what to look for and how to handle things like suicidal \depressive alters.

in my location when someone asks about the life span of being a multiple it usually means the system is getting ready to integrate completely and no one wants to die or go away. I think in my location more people have died from violence, suicide and other non mental disordered ways. the hospital I work with has a 92 bed mental health unit. we have had many attempt suicide but non that were DID.

DID is actually a very creative mental disorder, not everyone with in a DID system is suicidal therefor when one does become suicidal the others step in and take control. its like during abuse when someone feels in danger the one able to handle that danger takes over and gets that person out of danger. the only time I have seen where someone DID with all suicidal alters ( a mental facility that only houses the criminally insane) short version they are not even sure he actually has all suicidal alters due to his criminal mind they cant get an accurate mapping of his internal system, it maybe that there are non suicidal alters just not at the surface level due to his criminal mind.

thats when treatment providers around here explain more in detail that integration is a normal thing, theres no pain no death no going away. its a process where in most cases the alters just merge back together as one whole being again. everything they were still is, just in a different way.

my suggestion is contact your treatment providers that way this can be talked about and you can figure out why your ststem is focusing on death and how long they have to live. it may very well be that soon you will be one whole person again and everyone wants to know statistics and such as a way to handle this new change and fears. your treatment provider can also get the last statistics done in your location on suicide and whether those statistics include mental disorders and how prevalent suicides with DID happens in your locaiton.
