I'm just curious about how some other DID folks experience their alters. Mine are different ages, ranging from 4 to about 60, mostly static in time with one that seems to have aged along with me.

I am younger than 60, so I guess the older ones were based on older people I knew? Some have aspects of my abusers in their personalities, but I don't see any single one that is a clear imitation ...

Hi all

First time poster here. I'm not sure whether my wife has DiD. Let me explain.

Basically, she seems to have an imaginary friend online who nobody has met. When I first met her, back in 2005, she used to talk about this particular girl (and her partner) a lot. I even used to chat to this girl online (didn't live with my wife then). She claimed to have a PhD in Psychology, have ...

I just need some help. I have been sick for many years with bipolar disorder and just recently have got my life back. While I was sick I met my husband and we fell in love(yes I can still fall in love when I am sick). Anyways now that I am better I have realized that he is not the one for me. I must leave but lack a strong support network because I have ...

Decided to delete this. Thanks to anyone who read it.

I need someone to prop me up because my life is empty of support.

It's a long story. Terrible childhood, brainwashed into keeping all pain private.
I push everyone away. I'm paralysed to speak up for help no matter how desperate I am.
Tomorrow when my Mom gets home from work I will try my hardest to build courage to tell her what's going on.
But I'm terrified of being alone all day.

Tonight my ...

A big topic that comes up in emotionally abusive relationships is Gaslighting.

Gaslighting is perhaps one of the most destructive forms of emotional abuse in the skill set of the emotionally abuser. It not only can get you to doubt reality, but also your identity. As most of you know, the "status quo" of gaslighting is where a person denies any wrong doing on their part or when they try to make up wrong doing ...

Hi !

GluPi means nothing, except "stupid" in polish, but I didn't know that at the time I came up with that nickname. I'm 16 and live in Brussels, Belgium. My first language is french, please forgive me if my english isn't perfect, but I think you will be able to understand me. Feel free to correct my mistakes if you find pleasure by humiliating me.
I think I have Asperger's syndrom, although I'm not ...

Well you all know the anxiety that is associated with aspergers. It's enough to give you an anxiety attack.

A lot of this anxiety springs from our relationship with people. You know the feeling that no matter what you do, you will never quite be on the same wavelength as the people you meet. That constantly people will see you are a little different, may even suspect a mental health issue with you. The feeling ...

Hi. I'm a 34 yr old guy from England. I've been living with varying degrees of depression for the best part of 25 yrs since my parents divorced very messily. My recent research and counselling has taken me back to these times when I was effectively abandoned by both parents. My Father through his womanising which caused their divorce, and my Mother who moved out of the family home (though she did return for me). ...

I am new here. Hope i have done this right.

I have been researching best i can and can't find anybody asking what i am wondering so my question is: Is anybody else here able to decide who is in control? We do have triggers which just make a switch happen but we are also able to decide which one of us is in control.
