TRIGGER WARNING: SELF-HARM

hello again! I've posted a couple times here but it's been under different circumstances. recently we've done a host switch, which is a very good thing! but I'm very confused now.

we have an alter, which i can't tell who or what it is. i know it wants to hurt us/me, to make us hurt as though we deserve it. the past host was very melancholy and miserable, so this other alter ...

hi everyone. i'm new here, joining to look for insight on my various personality disorders.

I'm approaching a crisis state and I need someone to talk me down but every mental health hotline I call has a recording saying my call "may be recorded for quality or training purposes".

Really? Am I alone in not wanting my very personal issues broadcast and dissected in some training classroom? Even if it was just one administrator listening that still seems like an invasion of privacy to me. I can assume this is ...

I engaged in homosexual behavior while under the influence of methamphetamine at 19, and I have responded pretty negatively to the whole thing. I want to have normal and interest in sexuality, but my past behavior has made it somewhat difficult to have a clear idea of sexuality. Does anyone have any suggestions?

An example of what I mean is the console wars. AN aspie I knew could bring out the specs of for example a Wii console and find the most obscure details to prove the Wii is superior to its competitors such as ghz. Yet this same aspie was so blindly a wii fanboy he cannot accept that in the end the PS3 and Xbox 360 is far beyonda league above the Wii in almost everyway. ...

I have been going through the process for an autism assessment. Part one was fine. Part two involved a lot of questions about my history, which was maybe more triggery than I thought. But then maybe not really unexpected given it meant explaining past trauma in a fairly brief form. Maybe should have gone in armed with my written out history, but didn't.

The therapist doing the assessment is sending me some extra questionnaires to ...

About a year ago, I went completely insane. The nature of the insanity is quite horrific, and shameful. I harmed others in the process. It happened over the internet, luckily it happened over the internet. But there are others who are aware of what happened, who were effected, and I have no idea who they are (it happened on social media). So I am also struggling with remorse. If anyone has any questions about what ...

Since alters are all different, it cannot be that mind is perfectly compatible to each alter, some should fit mind better than others. In other words, there has to be a way to tell what is intended design, what truly works the best for one's psyche.
