I put "hurting" in quotes because I'm not 100% sure what's going on. There is this one, in our system, who was a troublemaker. Well I managed to get close to him. We were working together on art projects and we really enjoyed it. Now without warning, for some reason, he is hiding from me. I honestly think he is hiding because he is scared by how close we are becoming. He is scared to ...

I'm going to go ahead and put a trigger warning on this.....


So, I'm still in the early stages of getting to know my parts. I have a 4 year old alter named Briar who've I've known as far back as I can remember, she is the only one I know well. Recently she started insisting that she wanted to draw pictures on her walls, but like pictures of the abuse. My therapist and I ...

Have you been or will you be or are you right now in a blizzard? Share your stories here!

How do YOU personally prepare yourself for a blizzard ? Or, might you just get drunk and not make preparations of any sort?

This reminds me of my last blizzard when the power went out before the blizzard came and my neighbor knocked on my door and asked why the hell was the power out when ...

...and being passed around by psychiatrists, I'm done with it.

I am satisfied with what I know about myself, for now. It doesn't matter anymore, because it's not practical to me. I am no longer trying to stand out, quite the opposite in fact. I've shifted to wanting to be seen as more normal by others. I think I have done a good job of shedding a lot of unneeded narcissism.

You see, I'm not ...

I seem to have a one main inner world that's derp dark space. Then everything other persons inner world could be anything but no matter what i do if I Come back to it...its still there more or less looking the way it was before....so I guess that's an inner world?

Hi guys! Long time no see!
for some context:
I have been trying to get into some DID communities and talk to people and i’ve been noticing a pattern with us. Anytime we talk about our inner world people react in a genuinely confused or “...uh ok” kind of tone. I have a feeling its because its so complex. My therapist has even been trying to get at least one of us to create some ...

Fourteen came co-fronting when we came home today. I realized it was him taking the jacket off etc. I accidentally pushed him away by starting to think something else, but then realized to back off and asked him if he wanted to stay there, and he did. I think he can't front by himself, and he gets easily pushed out of the body if I forget to try to keep my mind quiet. If I ...

I don't know if this is the right sub-forum to post this. Writing fictional stories seems to be the best way to work things out in my mind. I thought "projecting" is the correct term to describe what the main character of my story, Jeanette, is doing. I looked up the term; it does not represent what is happening.

Jeanette is very protective of her slave, Aurora. Anything that Aurora experiences, Jeanette perceives that as ...

I'm suffering from stuck thoughts and overwhelming fatigue. Treatment against fatigue has not helped. When I confront my mother about my fatigue she blames my lack of sleep. I hate myself. I don't want any of this nonsense. I just wish everything was normal.

I've received treatment twice for fatigue. However, I'm still fatigued. Does lack of sleep equal fatigue?
