So I signed up here to get some perspective on my system. If anyone in particular has a good handle on how to deal with the younger alters or has one themselves that could offer advice- it would be most helpful. Excuse the length!

Hello regulars and newcomers alike,

My name is Mike but many of you know me as Mr. Bates, or just Bates. I'm a moderator for the DID forum and one of the longest-running regulars here. But lately I've barely been on; or even when I do log on, I don't even reply to anything, and I feel I should apologize for not being here for you guys. I've been under extreme amounts of stress lately, ...

I have been forgetting things a lot more lately than I normally do and I have started to notice things that are ...

I've been on these regimens:

1.Zoloft
2. Zoloft with Adderall
3. Zoloft with Ritalin
4. All of the above, but Celexa instead of Zoloft.
5. Ativan for one week. ...

I'd love to work as a psychiatric nurse. Does the fact I have DID mean I'm not suitable for this job in your opinions?

Hi to everyone,

I have been diagnosed and misdiagnosed many times, so I cannot exactly pinpoint what is my "main" mental disorder. However, I have been repeatedly told I suffer from DID, and this is a correct conclusion, as far as I can tell.

Last year, when the struggle between my various alter egos started to disrupt my daily life, I called a general meeting. We all agreed upon sharing decisions and coexisting - that ...

Most of us have dealt with those questions from singlets that make us want to bash our heads against a brick wall. But sometimes they're so ridiculous you have to laugh. So what are some questions and comments you all have had to suffer? And what were the replies you kept from giving?

Our favorites:

1. How long does each one last? (Approximately two hours, nineteen minutes and thirty-seven seconds.)
2. Which one are you ...
