I don’t know what to do about it... a constant battle in mind and spirit over almost every single event, situation, decision, purpose, desires....

A lot of times we just do nothing, or after something is done...once again here comes a wave of pride, resentment, horror, shock, happiness, grief, excitement....

I swear that we are going to die with a heart attack- the strain and stress over mixed emotions, feelings, ideas and thoughts are too much at times from a diversity of personalities...

We negotiate often, let some simmer and stew, ignore the ridiculous, compromise, comfort the hurting...

What else can one do with a group of strong willed individuals?

Thoughts and experiences?
what else can one do? trust that it will work itself out. thats what I did. like my treatment provider told me everything that was happening after diagnosis was the same stuff that was happening all my life. somehow since the very first alter creation my system had been working, doing their sense of agency, which enabled my survival and continue on with life in what ever ways and hows my life was. from before I was 5yrs old to when we all became one whole personality again, they were there doing their sense of agency. thats what they were there for.if they could manage and do whats needed to be done for 20 plus years they would continue to do so. if they could work out their differences, battles, conflicts of mind for 20 plus years before I was diagnosed they would continue to do so. the only difference was my own perception , after diagnosis I knew they existed, so of course I wanted to but in there and try and fix every thing when in reality they were doing what they were created for, what they were supposed to be doing, what their sense of agency was. All I had to do was trust the reality that they know what they need to do when and to focus instead what I did have control over, like I have all my life.

you ask what else you can do.... trust that they are there for a reason, they did what was needed in order for everyone's survival, they have been managing everything , their sense of agency for how ever many years its been since the very first alters creation. they will continue to do so until they all become one whole personality again as you become stronger and more able to do things on your own.
Thanks for this!
