News of Dissociative Disorders

Hi,

I am here to share a horrible exoperience this morning. I woke up early and layed on the couch. I suppose I fell back to sleep,(not sure) but next thing I know I am completely weightless floating on one of the corner of the room I could see myself sleeping on the couch, I was totally weightless and did not have control over where in the area i was floating, I was soooooo scared ...

Hello,

I have posted questions here before about my GF.

Tonight the main Host was really stressing out and just went away (back inside) and a diffrent person that I know well came out (a 2nd kind of host (Out a lot when the main host is inside)). Anyway, she told me that the main host (Host1) is very far back inside (a place they call the darkness where they can hide and where some ...

Hi all,

I had a question, In one of the forums I moderate, bipolar, there are alot of posts regarding voices. These voices are not voices outside the head, like in psychosis, and are not related to this dx.

One member mentioned that she was diagnosed with ptsd w/ dissociative features, in response to the above posts.

Is this a feature that is common with DID?

I am also dx'd with ptsd, bipolar, BUT not ...

I'm not going to go into a full life-story scenario here, but I will give the basics.

My mother is/was an alcohaulic, because of this I frequently suffered emotional abuse as a young child, and am still going through this today.

A few years ago I began to feel 'low', 'down', and just generally horrible. This feeling has persisted with me almost constantly since that time. About a year or so ago I began to ...

Nobody seems to be posting lately.

Lahl, hope things are going better for you. This site isn't the same without you!

Wishing you well!

While I find this site to be a very good one, lately, there doesn't seem to be much "action". I would really appreciate it if others could direct me to other DID message boards or chatlines that they have found helpfu. Thanks

I stumbled upon this message board and noticed that a lot of the members refer to themselves as 'we' and 'us'. I understand what you mean, but wanted to ask if someone would do that without having DID. I do that very often, but push myself to say 'I' when I don't want to be questioned. Usually, the 'we' just comes out....but sometimes 'we' and 'I' in the same sentence. I'm sorry if this is ...

From what I've read, it seems that integration is the best outcome for DID. I have found this to be true in my case, but I have visisted other DID sites and have found a fair amount of resistance to even the word "integration". I would be interested to know how others with DID feel about integration.

Thanks,

Hi,

I was doing some research on dissociation issues as my therapist thought I might have had another personality at some point in my life.

When I was 22, my fiance of 2 years left me for my (now ex) best friend. They are married now and have a baby. It was devastating as we'd planned on having a future together. Losing my best friend was rough, too and realizing that she wasn't the nice ...

I have a female friend who has a male alter. The alter is adult and sexually active but has self image issues that keep him from feeling whole.

Is there anyone here who can help them with this issue? Anyone else living with an alter of the opposite sex?
