 I had a hard T session on Thursday with my two littles. I am going to explain a little of the two of them. OK, so "A" is 8 and is very kind, loving, helpful and really wants to help "B". "B", who is 7, wants nothing to do with "A" because she says "A" is a goody-goody.So, anyway, my T was trying to figure out what they both need. Well, "A" and "B" were in the same area and "B" was starting to panic. So that made "A" panic. Well, the two of them were freaking out at the same time so I stepped in and told the two of them it was OK to go back to their "safe" places. Ever since Thursday I have had uncontrollable anxiety attacks. I can't seem to get "B" to calm down at all. I have tried playing games, talking, candy, coloring, and so on. Nothing is working. I am at a loss because I cannot handle these attacks. I want to drink so badly, but I quit 2 months ago. I want to take meds to make me sleep, but I have too much to do. I just wanna rip my hair out!

Onlymedid, I am sorry I dont have better advice for you right now, but stick with it. Keep reminding yourself you can make it, because, heck if I have made it through some of the stuff Ive been through then surely you can make it through this.
Take some time for you as well. Littles are so important and need care but so do YOU. Sending my warm thoughts. |

Thanks rainbowzz! I know I can get through it, but it is getting more and more difficult. I am trying to care for myself, but with the littles freakin' I am having a hard time. My frustration level is over the top.

hi onlymedid,
sorry you are so stressed. i hope you don't drink. i know it's hard, i've been sober 11yrs. i have to stay sober in order to help my littles. it's hard but not impossible. i wanted you to know it can be done, and i'm here if you need me. one of the things i'd like to do, is to start a support system for recovering alcoholics / addicts that struggle with d.i.d. i see it time and time again. there are so many of us that struggle with both. i know there got to be a connection. we self-destruct. but d--n it, it i'm not going to get this far, just to give up. i'm not going to let thoughs s.o.b.s win. it's a mirical any of us made it out alive! don't give up now  benny |

Thanks Benny. I realized 2 months ago that I was drinking to quiet them when I didn't want to deal or when I got to anxious. I really don't want to go back to that.
I think a support group is a brilliant idea! I am trying as hard as I can. BJ

It sounds to me like one of the littles panicked because of what she heard, or what she thinks she will hear or have to talk about. Making sure that everyone knows they don't have to share anything until they decide to, or need to, might help calm the situation I think.
I do caution you about support groups, unless it is strictly for those with DID, most will not tolerate it well, unfortunately. Plus, from what I hear, often parts of you might not tolerate other ppl's parts and begin acting out. It's a tough call, imo.

hi,
ya, i went to s.i.a.(servivors of incest anonymos) with a friend of mine (sponsor) in a different 12 step program. she went trough a lot too. any way, we stoped going to s.i.a. because we talked too much a bout doing something to the perps running around town. i haven't come up with anything that would work yet. this forum is great ! it's like group, only unseen. i don't like changing infront of people. i've always tried to hide it. here i feel safer to be myselves. benny |

Oh _Sky I think you may have misunderstood? I am not going to a group, I just meant that I thought Benny idea of starting a group was a good idea.  I could never go to a group in person. I kinda have anxiety in groups of people.  I think you are right on about being scared of "what she heard, or what she thinks she will hear or have to talk about." It seemed like when we started to touch on a particular subject is when the freakout happened. I will let them know that they don't have to talk if they don't want to. My T is really good about stopping when I tell her to stop pushing, I guess I just need to learn what the littles need better. Thanks so much! BJ

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
