New here, still confused

Postby JustTheTwoOfUs » Thu Jun 05, 2014 2:20 pm

I don't really know what to say, but I'm scared. I first thought I was normal and that everyone had two different views of the world like I did. I went to therapy and try to explain how I felt. It was a group session and I tried to say how I feel 50/50 not one whole person but two different people with different views. They said it was normal but I had a feeling that kept bugging me that I'm not. I came upon this disorder and was scared at how much it fit me. But I don't black out,
I do have bad memory but I thought it was just from trying to forget the trauma I had in my past.
I'm scared because I don't want to be crazy or labled as crazy, but it's feels that way when it's just me and her in my head. I don't think we are different people we are just one person split in half. We have different views of course she is cruel to people while I can't even stand being close to anyone in public transportation.
I'm scared,
And I thought that if I tired hard and went to therapy that I can't feel 100 percent again. But I looked this up and it said it had no cure.
I just need some help understanding what's going on,
I'm so confused and scared

Hello there, welcome to the forum. First of all, just breathe.. try to calm yourself down so you can think more clearly.

Could you perhaps explain more about how you feel and what symptons you see similarity in?
With DID alters are not necessarily a completely different person, though that's very common.. For me, marvolo is, while Yuki is basically a younger version of myself, a part of me that developed differently and more slowly.

I don't think there's an official cure for DID, no, but it is possible for it to go away by integration of alters. Still, it's a disorder that does not make it impossible to live a normal, functioning life. I would not label myself or most people I've met here as 'crazy'. I am studying, have a healthy relationship, am looking for a future job and do basically everything else my classmates do, except that I do it with two other people in my head who stand by me, help me and support me. It's harder if she is cruel to people and you don't like that, but have you tried talking to her about that?

Oh, also, as one of my alters actually posted in another thread, blackouts are not an 'essential' part of DID, though very common. However, I cannot diagnose you, and even if a lot of the posts here seem to fit you, you should perhaps not make premature conclusions by yourself.. Maybe try to go to a therapist where it is not a group session, to explain how you feel?
