furthermore, it's making me anxious just thinking about all the harm she might be able to do

usually alters arn't this strong when they first are known about, are they?

well I don't know

I remember when natalie was first known about she was quite strong

but since then it's taken a while to get to know them
Im confused... have you ........recently...... undergone the kind of extreme trauma that caused you to become DID before you were 5?

reason I ask is because DID alters are a very special kind, they dont just come into being in adulthood, theres a mental and physical and extreme trauma elements that go into causing a person to have DID.

this would be my first step in trying to figure out this situation if this happened to me... I would look at my recent posts to see if any of them mentioned undergoing extreme trauma, I would be contacting my treatment providers to have a physical and tests done to see if there is any physical damages the likes of that which I went through before I was 5 (the kind of extreme trauma that causes DID leaves physical problems that needs immediate treatment, so if I went through such extreme trauma there would be recent medical reports and such) not to mention recent dissociative amnesia, and other dissociative symptoms...... in short all the different mental physical and traumas and everything else has to line up perfectly for the creation of another alter...

once I figured out what the recent extreme physical, mental/ emotional/ sexual ..... trauma was that would answer why I had this new alter...what they were created for and why they wanted to take control.. you know all the sense of agency stuff.

if there is no recent medical reports and such then I would know that this is not a new alter but one that has already been there since before I was 5, just not co conscious with them until now.

thats what I would do if this happened to me.

my suggestion is contact your treatment providers, they will be able to help you figure out what is going on including talk with you about what ever recently extreme trauma and dissociative symptoms and physical elements that caused this to happen to you. and if not a new alter but one that you just didnt know about until now, your treatment provider can help you to discover what their sense of agency is and all that.
