Glad to meet everyone!

I live with my wife and our four cats. I like to camp, hike, cook, and write.  I work as a psychotherapist, specializing in trauma. And I have DID.

I’m hoping to connect with others like me. I have good friends but I’m the only one like me that I know of, in my day to day life.]]>

I’m newly diagnosed. I’ve been trying to read and learn but everything is confusing. I don’t think I understand what I’m supposed to do. I haven’t met any alters. My therapist has, she says. I haven’t slept in days and I can’t concentrate. I just feel like I’m doing something wrong.]]>

I was newly diagnosed. I'm looking for people who understand some of what I'm going through. I don't have any idea who the other states of me are, only what I've heard from my therapist. Right now it seems like I'll never be able to talk to them. I'd especially like them to eat less ice cream ;-)

Nice to meet you all.]]>

I had inklings I wasn’t “normal” for years, but i only recently have a name for what it is.

I do not have a diagnosis, though I am in therapy. I’m trying, well, we are trying to determine what that would be like, feel like, what kind of affect it may have on the life we currently lead.

As of now, I know there are six (four female, two male), though no one really has a name. Everyone answers more to a role than a name other than the body’s given one. Reasons for that likely don’t belong in an intro post ^__^

I am hopeful that coming here will help us understand this life we lead. It’s comforting to find others who experience similar. Thank you for creating this safe space.

I am the host, i call myself Me.

Several of us have been aware of one another since childhood. We just recently received the Dx of DID even though we have been in therapy for the majority of our adult life (thats nearly three decades now). Even though some of us are old acquaintances, we haven't always worked together or communicated well. This is what we are currently working on.

Please be patient with us.
We are a large system in an older body. We don’t have a host.

We were diagnosed in the late 80s back when it was still mpd. We had a good therapist for 4 years. After that, a different therapist sent us into about 27 years of extreme denial and suppression of alters.
Eating
We like our therapist though she is not a specialist. The only specialist in our geographical area is too far away and also doesn’t accept our insurance even if we could travel.
We have been on SSD for over a decade because of our DID and the related anxiety, ptsd and depression.
We have been in the process of meeting alters for the past year, working on internal communication and acceptance and that is ongoing. We do 3 types of journaling, art work and we also have 3 support workers from our state DMH. But our collective communication has a really long way to go.

At the moment we are having extra stress because our regular therapist is out on medical leave. We do have a back up therapist. And we we are looking forward to her return.

We are here because we have been told this is a great community where you get a great deal of support. We are eight years into therapy but have recently (in the last two years) moved to a new therapist after we had problems our first therapist was not qualified to handle. We are trying to understand the ins and outs of DID and how to master our lives. We have a great deal of conflict recently and need assistance from those who have experience. We will be asking many questions but also hope we can offer the support and answers we expect to receive. Thank you, whoever created this community. You have done a good service for those of us dealing with the intricacies of DID. Thank you!]]>

There are a couple of people I interact with on Twitter that I have reason to believe may be my BF's alters, but I can't be sure. (There is a *lot* of circumstantial evidence, both technical and otherwise). The two biggest obstacles to confirming this are that my BF has not been diagnosed and Twitter is so anonymous. Even if they are his alters, I am fine maintaining friendships with them individually. It's just hard manage a balance between making sure I am not being targeted by bad people and making sure I don't give an alter a breakdown if I question the authenticity of the story & photos they're sending. And they always seem to send them proactively and without my requesting. A handful of them have obviously taken a couple of photos of *someone* and photoshopped them.]]>
