ect...

is it true that you can become a blended mess....?

its not vague i think im just having trouble understanding...
from a DID point of view....this is exactly what you have been posting and wishing your treatment providers would do with you....

listen and believe you when you say you have alters. nows your chance to tell your treatment provider what its like for you to be each of your alters. the book wants you to think about each one and tell how it feels to be each one separately rather than lumping them all together saying I feel depressed and angry and tired and want to die and... nows your chance to slow down and figure out what each one is like and how it feels for you to be each of your alters.

(Hint... your past posts are full of this.. every time one of your alters posted and you have posted you were posting about you and your alters.)
Thanks for this!
