News of Dissociative Identity Disorder Forum

Hello, I'm new here. I'm not sure if I have DID or some form of it. I was hoping those of you here could help me. I know nobody here can diagnose me and I'm okay with that, I guess I'm kind of just hoping you can tell me whether or not you relate or have a similar experience or just will tell me your thoughts and opinions.

I've had identity issues for as long ...

I seem to still be out front, the others haven’t returned to the front and had no communication at all with anyone except the the ones I’m calling GK and CT.

I feel nervous of them just returning and taking life back and I won’t know anything about it just go back to sleep and maybe wake up many years later again.

They seem to have destroyed relationships and the friends I last had when ...

We recently started treatment, and had a consultation with a psychiatrist for a mediation review.

This wasn't about diagnosis as we are already diagnosed by multiple professionals. Although she was otherwise quite good the psych said at the end that we/host should be proud that we have achieved so much given our trauma and diagnosis.

We had never met this psych before, and it wasn't me fronting. I only just became aware of it. But ...

Hi, I’m really not sure on something my therapist has done. I have been in therapy for about a year and a half but I have very little communication with Parts, I don’t know what all my Parts are. I have Parts that struggle toward end of session and seem to be child parts stuck in freeze response to point therapy sessions are running way over time as I can’t get out of it and ...

I’m not sure at this point whether this will end up being a one off post or a journal page.

It’s beginning of the working week and the previous host has not been re-triggered to the front to take care of stuff. What is even more unsettling is that we were previously two teams and none of the others that were in fronting team are present either!

I’ve been inside a long time so am ...

hello this board was recommended to me.it’s very big so I’m a little overwhelmed and not sure where to put my post.

Just wanted to say Hi. I am nervous to talk of headmates as we have always been highly covert but our host is missing and this site was recommended.

This thread is meant for sharing brief summary of what someone learned about dissociative disorder. For the sake of this post, I will refer to alters as states.

In case something that cannot belong to any of existing states is needed, be it caused by positive or negative experience, a new dissociative state is formed. Also, if there is an issue with accepting part of the state, there could be dissociation towards piece of state. ...

I’ve had a very strange DID Journey, I first suspected it 4 years ago- and things have been pretty rough and wild since then.
I know this is probably unrelateable but my life has always been constantly changing, which sucks as someone who craves consistency. My system has been the same. I’ve gone from thinking I have 100 alters to five subsystems to 8 alters to thinking I’m an amalgamation of parts and concepts…

For ...

Hey! I guess we’re the star system. I just chose that name an hour ago.

I was diagnosed with DID a couple of years ago, and was in treatment for a short amount of time before dropping out (due to low motivation, lack of money, denial, and more complex situations).

I struggle with journaling. And even though I’ve known I’ve had DID for two years (and suspected for four) I still…really doesn’t understand myself very ...

On multiple occasions I've had what I would call lucid dreaming-dreams in which I'm aware of being in the dream and there is another alter talking to me or in one case I hugged a person in my dream knowing it was an alter and we were both communicating in the dream. Because of these experiences beyond the laws of our material world my alters and I find dreaming to be very special. Since lucid ...
