I recently ‘found myself’ up front after feeling I hadn’t been for around 8 years. I have vague memories of knowing/been told at some point that DID (or some form of it was possible).

I know from the time I felt I was last the host `I did not know of ‘others’ and had disappeared inside before learning of it. ..so there must have been other ‘alters’ after me…between then and now?

I’ve been reading ...

Short and sweet. Watched my friend and roommate in a knife fight with other friend and roommate. I pulled them apart. The one who was attacked fought back with a knife, and the attacker died in the hospital a bit later. I had to go to the court and talk to two prosecutors and a state police detective for several hours, and then testify before a Grand Jury. The roommate that died had a security ...

This is weird for me to talk about and I'm really confused so sorry if this doesn't make sense.

I can't remember the majority of my early childhood (from before I was 7) which I thought was normal until I asked my mom her earliest memory and it was from she was like, 3 or something. I can barely remember most of pre-school, one of my two memories being bullied by this one kid, and ...

I'm sorry if I am doing this wrong. I am new here.

I am 16, and my parents are divorced. I have a good relationship with both of them.

My mom and siblings say that my dad was very very abusive was I was young but I can't remember. I have lots of memories where he would beat us, but I can't see him in those memories. It is so freaky. It is like my ...

Hi there,

I was just wondering whether anyone else has any experience of going into a trance after a trauma.

There were times when I was younger where I would have 'absences' where I would trance out with my eyes open. People would not be able to get me to come to either by talking to me, making noises or waving their hands in front of my face.
