Thanks for all the replies, it does help to know I'm not alone out here. I've pretty much alienated myself from any friends I used to have, and my family doesn't have a clue about my new diagnosis (I don't think they do anyway, sometimes it's not something easy to hide). So it's very lonely to lonely to be dealing with this by myself, especially with T gone for so long. I've been in therapy on and off with various therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists and so on for years, and this is the first time an alter approached my T (which completely freaked me out), but I guess that is a good step, right?
