Wow! That's a big question for me right now. Dissociation is very obvious to me. Missing time has been discovered. Feeling like a passenger, with someone else driving has been realized and acknowledged. I also know that there are other "parts" of me that I feel/hear their thoughts. I have not been diagnosed with DID. I do know these things are truth.
My goal at this point is to try and understand how this all works. Educate myself on "what" it is, and make peace with it. If all of my parts have been working and doing their job since they came to be, it would be my goal to have them all in the same car with a responsible driver. In my mind a see a family. We are traveling in a nice comfy SUV, chit chatting and feeling like we all belong together. That is my goal I believe. Nobody loses their job, we are hopefully going to learn to work kindly together.
That may seem simple minded, but the simpler the better!
