All I have heard for years now is that I must remain me. I am not allowed to switch, like there is any control to it, but I have learned to put a mask on when doing so. My littles know that when mother and sibling is home they can not come out because we would all get in trouble and it would turn out badly. So once they are gone for the day, its literally a free for all. Even my T has backed this up. I am so very confuzed now though. My guy is telling me to let them out around him. He said that hes in love with a bunch of girls and even a couple of guys so he deserves to see what he is in love with. He has a good point but I am so very confuzed and I'm looking for some guidance here on what to do cause clearly I'm lost. Should I trust him like he says too, or should the real we stay hidden?

Thanks for this!

(((((livingmiracle)))))) all parts deserve to have time out. Our pray for you is that the one you are with is truly as accepting of you as you say good luck.

hi livingmiracle....trust your instincts...i say that because i have had a few serious relationships since being diagnosed. one guy was great but another one ended up kind of using my did to be emotionally abusive. i really would suggest taking it slowly letting parts out...but trust your instincts....good luck....................................kasva

LivingMiracle,

Still working on it so not an innovative point of view except to say to follow the other's good words and add no pressure, take time you need. Keep safe admidst it all.

I think for anyone with DID, the goal is the ability to live a mentally healthy life.
This looks different to different people.
You get to decide what healthy and safe look like for you.
If you want, try to allow them out a little at a time with you still there.
Co-consciousness is a wonderful way to share one body with many people :-)
