Is there anything we can do to help her through this? I can't protect her if she can't accept me and pushes me away. I love her and want to help.
I'm James, btw, and I'm usually co-present throughout the evenings when leigheas' anxiety spikes.

here's something that might help....
think about how you have managed to protect them before they knew you existed, before they got diagnosed and knew what to deny...
reason this may help is that DID isnt something that just jumps into someones body one day. its there all that persons life. nothing changes after receiving the diagnosis... so looking at it from that point of view maybe you can figure out who you have been protecting everyone for many years already.
then its just a matter of continuing with what you have been doing all your life time.
let me show you something.... before I was diagnosed there was an alter named white. whites job purpose reason for being created was to protect me from bullies. white continued doing her job/ purpose/ reason for being created even when I didnt know she existed, even when I discovered she existed, even when I denied her existance and I never did accept white. i didnt have to, from my point of view White was white and I was amanda and I was living amanda's life not whites. I lived years and years with out knowing about whites existence so to me it wasnt important to say hi white welcome aboard, eventually with my becoming stronger and able to handle my problems on my own white integrated/ became one whole person again with me just like a normal human being.
my suggestion is contact yours or a treatment provider, they will be able to tell you if its possible and necessary for Só leigheas to stop denying and pushing you away or whether treatment goals and healing can happen with out the acceptance factor. not everyones system is comprised in a way that everyone must accept each other, become friends and such for many people like me integration/ full healing happened naturally with out the big get to know each other, accept and become best buddies kind of thing.
