Hello Fellow kindred spirits!
I am just looking for a place to connect with others with DID, for support. I feel very alone, I have started feeling alone which is a new feeling for me. Though I am very familiar with feeling alone but feeling lonely is different. Loneliness feels more like a crave to have someone who understands the struggles of DID. After many many years and several prescriptions later I was recently diagnosed with DID. I was coming to that conclusion on my own just before diagnosis. The more I read about others who have DID, the more I realize what a huge spectrum it is and all the details and how it manifests for each of us can be so different. For myself it has been very confusing because I have some alters that fully manifested, and showed themselves with a name age and clear image. I have some alters who are not ready to show themselves or are just feelings, not sure. We are very co-conscious and several of us like to come out and do things together. My teams are very complex and some alters work on a few teams. Example of one of my teams, that I have identified is when I am in the kitchen cooking. One of us will be chopping something, while another is keeping track of the stove and another is planning on what we need to to next, while someone grabs stuff from the fridge. I am still learning all my parts. I have been feeling my way through life and now I have a diagnosis with new terminology, feelings, alters, memories that I have to connect all the dots. Feels like my mind is a really important book with no page numbers, but the spine fell apart and the pages are everywhere. Some are torn, some are faded and I am now stuck sorting all the pages and putting them in order so that I can read the book. turning: |

Thank you so much for joining us & for explaining all these things. I have severe dissociation experiences, lots of voices & other types of painful manifestations, but maybe none of the voices are alters. I hope so very much that you post a lot!

1. Expose people in a influence
2. Shame yourself 3. Spread the love after this shaming 4. Say an affirmation 5. Watch out for repeats of hypnosis 6. Read the symbolism of each if needed Is how you start working with the alters |

Thanks for sharing. I feel alone a lot of the time because I keep my DID secret around most people. I think your system is really cool. I don't know everybody in mine. I just feel others around often. My therapist is teaching me how to communicate with them.
