You wanted me here, you got me here. David was pretty ambiguous on the details of what you all want from me but let me start by saying well done Mr Bates. Brilliant idea. It's nice to be let out. You've got everyone in here eating out of your hand now tell her to let me have a whole day out or even better tell her to let me talk to her sister. I'll put ...

a few days ago my recent ex (just broke up a couple of days ago) told me she had a split personality. this doesn't bother me or 'freak' me out. the next day the alter come out to me and started talking. we have been chatting via phone and text message for the last couple of days. my ex doesn't know anything about her alter, although the alter knows everything about her. as far as ...

Hey guys and girls,

I don't know much about DID except some of the things I've seen/read in classes. I was wondering if any of you have seen the show "United States of Tara"? Toni Collette plays a wife who has DID and has a slew of alters, and the show is now showing some interesting scenes where tara is conscious of her alters and actually can communicate with them and in the latest episode ...

Hi all. If you are reading this, thanks!
I have an alter that is participating in some inappropriate behavior towards our therapist and I am not handling it too well. I need some advise. He has engaged himself in writing very rude, sexual e mails to my therapist, has gone on the internet and found personal information out about my therapist and therapist's family, has looked up stalking methods, and has threatened her with sexual ...

Hi, I haven't posted here before.
I was wondering if someone here could give me some advice, maybe someone who
has been through a similar situation...

I was diagnosed with DID last year and have been in therapy for a bit longer.
Recently things have been getting rough and it doesn't help that one of my past abusers is suddenly
trying to contact me. It's been over ten years, and I never wanted to confront ...

Last night, some voice was talking to me all night. It was hard to get a good nights rest, even though I couldn't get a distinct read on what the voice was talking about. I think the voice was in charge of a door of some kind and he kept asking questions.

I'm not asking if such a thing can be used to diagnose DID alone. But I am curious if this type of thing ...

There is something going on on the show The United States Of Tara and I just wondered if it ever happens to anyone with DID in real life. She developed an alter of someone she had heard of and read about.

Is that possible? To develop an alter for a relative or acquaintance or known stranger even? A celebrity? How does that work?

And when you assume the personality of someone who already exists you ...

So, for the past month or so, Life has not seemed real at all.
Everythings fuzzy and hazy, nothing seems real.
I realize that its not a dream, or is it?
I can't focus on anything, and all my grades are falling.
How do i wake myself up?

(sorry i wrote this in a hurry, gotta get to drivers ed).

(Sorry if this is in the wrong section, i don't know what to call this...)

Hi

I'm new to this forum and like others it's a relief to see other people with similar experiences after a lifetime of thinking i was the only one.

Living in Europe (original UK but now in Italy) there are no support groups, help centres, really anything available and the illness has such a stigma that most medical professionals say that you are an attention seeker or a depressive because d.i.d is constructed and doesn't ...

Has anyone ever been assumed to be the original, core person only come to find out you're not?

I guess since I'm the only person who will answer to our legal name (Leigh) and since I appear to be the most affected by the many traumas in our life, it was just assumed that I'm the original. Becka knew better but she wanted me to figure it out on my own. ...
