Where do people who are struggling with dissociative disordp

Postby curlymop » Sat Feb 24, 2018 11:45 pm

I live in Michigan and I am seriously struggling. I am not suicidal. My parts are all out, I am missing time. I can't function. I can't get help, other than a 45 minute therapy session once a week.

I tried going inpatient at 2 different hospitals - one the head of the trauma department won't allow discussion of dissociation and the other, I wasn't suicidal so my insurance kicked me out. Apparently non suicidal means you are functional. Ugh!! I am so frustrated.!! I've been trying for 2bmonths to find someone to help me. Do people even exist?
I can't do this alone, I am trying to find Art therapy or group therapy for trauma, but haven't been successful yet.
Partial programs use too much filler, like psycho ed groups (that work well for newbies), in place of therapy. What are we supposed to do and how are we supposed to get help?

I don"t want to drive 3 hours a day to get help. I space out and end up lost going across town.

I am open to suggestions.

Does your therapist know how to treat DID? If so, then 45 minutes a week with someone who's experienced is a great starting point. If not, then ask him/her to help you find someone who does know how.

Do you journal with your parts so that you guys can build cooperation and communication with each other? That can be very helpful.

Sorry that I don't have more suggestions.
