<font color="blue"> </font> Hello...
I just wanted to introduce myself. A few months ago I was diagnosed with DID. I am having a hard time accepting this dx although it does answer so many questions. I guess I accept it but am having a hard time dealing with it. My husband is very supportive and kind and loving to us but sometimes I need to talk about this stuff with people who know what its like.

I have one mean alter and she is coming out a bit now and saying really mean things. It's difficult to know what to do at times.

Thanks for reading
Saly

hi saly and welcome! i live with DID as well. with a new dx, it can be hard in the beginning....going back and forth from acceptance to denial...that can be lasting as well. it is for me. please remember, you're the same wonderfully unique person you were before the dx. you're just more understood now new here

if you ever need anything or have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask here in forums or pm me. DID, especially when first learning of things, can be a confusing, mixed up time. i'll share with you and listen to you new here

be safe,

kd

Welcome Saly!

I know how hard it can be with an angry or mean alter. It sure is difficult to know what to do in this time of being freshly dxd.

It will take time to open up channels of communication if that is something you and your therapist think is safe for you to do.

Glad to see you here. Ask away with questions as there are some amazing ppl in here who have lived with this dx for years and then others like you and me who are relatively new to this all. (for me dx was about a year ago I think....can't remember well)

Hi Saly,
It's very nice to meet you. The people here are awesomely cool. Take care.

Wow! Thank you everyone for reading and for the nice welcoming.

yeah it sure can be hard some days. I think I have been pretty lucky as far as communication with my insiders goes. I got a journal and we all write in it and recently my husband started writing in it as well. It has helped so much with the communication. I am able to ask questions and things like that. I have a few that will actually come out and talk to my H.

The thing that bothers me the most is most of the time i don't know when one of the others is *out*. It is very unnerving to say the least.

Thanks again for listening and for the wonderful welcome. i look forward to getting to know all of you.

hugs

Welcome Saly. I have DID as well. I was diagnosed in '91/'92 at 17. I've been diss. since age 7 though. For me, I always knew something was amiss. Though I had thought everybody could see & hear 'people' & lost 'time'. I also just thought I had very detailed imaginary friends. My husband is supportive as well. He doesn't want to know the deep details, he likes to focus on the present whereas I focus on the past. But if I'm not 'out', he will know. He doesn't make a big deal, but I do know he knows when I'm not me. I trust him so even though I don't remember what happened, he will keep me safe.
Love,
RhysMadison

It does make it so much easier when we have 3D support at home. My husband and therapist are the only ones who know about me and my DID. It can get pretty loud in my head at times.

RhysMadison...like you I thought it was normal to have other voices in my head and the losing time...I thought everyone did that. Then I had my reality check!! lol..

Thanks for being here...
hugs

Hello, and welcome to the forums! I don't have any dissociative disorders, but I like to go to different boards and try to be there for people. Feel free to pm me if you need anything :-)

Saly,

Welcome. Sorry I am so late in welcoming you.

I am happy that you have support where you are. DID can be very difficult...but with support and understanding it does get easier. Remember that all problems you face have solutions. Feel free to pm me or ask what you would like. I am always here for support.

take care.
