I am New Here at Psych Central and at DID

I have been diagnosed as DID, although it was MPD then, since 1983. I learned how top co-exist and was happy for a long long time.

Then something very bad happened and everyone got very mad and upset. Then I went into a hospital and it was 2006 and I was told I was bi-polar now and also DID.

I take a lot of medication now and i am very confused and not sure if I will ever be well again. I think I might have broken too much this time. Does anyone know how hardn we can fall...and still be put together again?

Hello paperoses, welcome to Psych Central and the DID forum. I'm sorry you have been through so much.

There is hope, one thing about us is that we have a strength within and are very creative. Hey! You found this forum!

We are with you on your journey.

Hi and welcome to PC! You'll find a lot of support and understanding here...you'll never be completely alone. There will always be someone here for you at some time.

I'm sorry that something happened to shatter the healing you'd seen. Are you back in therapy (if you ever left)?

If so, please stick with it. I'd say these parts of you that are so upset (whether it be scared, angry, distrusting, or all of the above) will respond in time and with patience.

It would appear that they ventured out into a "safer" environment and felt they could stay, then something blasted that sense of security and they all high-tailed it back to their "rooms"...

Just like the first time, it might take a lot of work to get them venturing back out again and talking about all that's "disabled" them, but I do think it can and will happen...especially considering the co-con you experienced before.

It might be that they need to see your world as "safe" again, and trust those in it again.

I could only suggest that you point all as much lovely and safe as you can...point out to your insiders anything comforting and enjoyable that you see and experience. That might be a start to getting the "doors" open in a safe, non-damaging way? It could also help you to try to put a focus there (on the present positive and safe).

Possibly you could talk with your therapist about that?

Keep talking. You're not alone.

Welcome ((((((((((((((((((((((((paperoses))))))))))))))))))))). Sometimes things happen that take some time to heal. Maybe you can give yourself the time you need. Everyones journey is different. Please try and be patient and know that there is something wonderful ahead of you. I understand the feeling of broken but maybe it is the pain telling you that. Please know I am out here if you need someone to talk to or just listen.

Good to meet others with similar issues. I have been diagnosed with the same disorders and have been trying fiendishly to seek treatment that works also.

It is good to meet others with similar issues. I have bipolar--I've known this for years--and I have no problem accepting it, but I just can't seem to wrap my mind around having multiple personalities! I mean, I know that I do-- but I just am having such a problem accepting it and trying to clarify them all to myself...It's like I have to be out of them to see them because when I am in one of them, I don't see the others at all...maybe this is how the healing works?

I am grateful for this forum!
