We may have a new headmate trying to find their way to the surface and we really don't know what to do. We're still learning how to operate as an OSDD system and that's sort of difficult in itself. But we don't know why we've split off again. We lack any sort of IRL support and finding a decent T has proven to be somewhat of a modern Odyssey. Doing any sort of introspection is very, very triggering for us. Our Aiden doesn't seem to hold any trauma but is very emotional and prone to panic attacks. So those delves into inner turmoil and origins can still be very difficult for all of us. We really don't know what to do to try to figure things out and make room for any possible new person...

You may not have split again, it can be someone who has been in your system, but you are just getting to know them now. It's very rare, that anyone would be aware of all their parts when diagnosed, parts reveal themselves when it's their time and they feel ready, or you are ready to see them. And when doing therapy, "new" parts are often found holding trauma feelings or memories, when those are being dealt with. They are not actually new, they've just been hiding. For example I do know I have parts I don't know yet, and they are probably the youngest ones, the ones who have been first splits.
What kind of difficulties you actually have, what new is the newly found causing? Or do you feel just unstable and scared because of the fact there is more of you than you thought? It's gonna be OK, you have experience how to work with others now. You will survive.
Sad to hear about you struggling to find outside help.

I think the easiest way to find out what is going on is to answer their call.
In the end all things will be better when you accept everyone and co-operate. They can't disappear just because you ignore them. All who exist, exist, and it's not their fault or yours.. The one calling for you is no outsider, they're one of you, one to feel protective for.
I know it doesn't feel like that when you don't even know them, but there's no way around it being true. Try to find some way for it to feel more controlled. Does it help, if you for example write everything down, then it's on the paper, you can look at it and make sense of it? Or what ever works for you. I can't come up with anything now.

Nothing but good points...
Thanks loads. I'll definitely have to sit down and try and work things out and get some communication going.
