Alter is Putting Me in Danger

I have a problem. I have a part who is putting me in a certain dangerous situation frequently. She initiates the situation, then leaves me in the middle of everything to suffer through it. I don't know why she does this except that she hates me. The situation is extremely distressing for me, as well as physically threatening. I'm not trying to be dramatic, just trying to convey my desperation without saying what the situation is.

This alter isn't new - all of mine have been around for as long as I can remember - but in the past, she has not acted out in this way. When I moved out of my mom's house last fall, she started drinking and smoking weed occasionally, but that's all. Then she started doing this other thing sometimes, but not frequently. But since my dog died a few weeks ago, she has been out of control. I don't know what to do. I told T last session, but she didn't help me. The alter doesn't talk to therapists. After the session, the alter texted T that she wouldn't talk to her and she would keep doing what she's doing to me until she got what she wanted (whatever that is). T didn't respond.

I just don't know what to do. T doesn't care. Any advice?

P.S. Also, has anyone who wasn't suicidal been hospitalized against their will due to DID-related issues? I don't think they can do this, but I'm scared.

Provide a few limits, and allow it to wild out. I say, they don't want you to be so safe until they can figure out what the purposes are for being this way. Work with a qualified therapist it willl be helpful.

Sorry...no idea what to say....but have a stand bye companion/body guard to protect you? (((Hugggs)))


Wow...a totally different slant on body guard.

my male alter is always getting me in trouble with friends. i explained problem to them when in female alter and ask them ignore me when my male alter is dominant

I've got a couple of alters that have put me in dangerous situations. In fact, one has been in charge a lot lately. I can sometimes have another part come alongside and convince the harming one to go easy. When that sort of thing is going on, I try to ask the part what she needs and where she hurts. All of my parts hold some difficult memories, working to understand them seems to help with the acting out.

As far as hospitalization, no. I would add, though, that there have been a couple of times where I had to summon a convincing part to talk to authorities to convince them I was not suicidal. Which might have been a lie. I would think if a harmful part was in charge, you might get involuntarily committed.
