News of Dissociative Identity Disorder Forum

So um can you just suddenly discover there's a place you've never heard of before? I've been really struggling trying to understsnd whats going on with me and the others. When theyre not around, I always pictured them having their own rooms in a corridor system kind of shaped like a H on its side. Cara is our alter who kind of controls stuff inside. And she has great knowledge of the inner workings. She ...

I had an intense dissociative experience a couple of weeks ago, and I would like to share my experience and see what people with diagnosed dissociative disorders would make of it.

Leading up to the episode, I was about to share how I was feeling about my dying dad to my boyfriend (yes, probably the trigger). As I tried to though, I started feeling the normal "pull" I feel of different opinions and different directions. ...

We have a real real hard time asking for help- at least for the big important things. and we're scared right now losing leg function and we decided on a powered wheelchair so we can go places again 'cause it sux being stuck and so limited. asked last year and was told we have to save up. asked this year, was told to write down exactly what we want so we researched and did that. ...

I have an alter whom I don’t know much about, but one thing is clear - they’re adamant that no one can ever know that we’re a system (which is understandable imo).

They seem to “disappear” for long periods of time, to the point I’m even questioning if they are even “real” or if I’m just “me” as in one person.

Anyhow. Whenever I watch/read about multiplicity and others’ experiences, when there are other people ...

So our landlord may be "reevaluating their portfolio" and I thought I would make a little "how to cope with a house move" post.

1. House moves are disorientatng the more time you can give the system the better. don't hide it from littles because thy are young.
2. Let the littles help pack. This can look different depending on age of little but can vary from decorating the outside of a packing box that ...

Sometimes when I dissociate, my personality changes and I feel like somebody else. I have a few different people inside me. But a lot of the time I don't completely lose my memory. It is POOR and very hazy/foggy when I come out of it ans return to myself, but I CAN and often do remember things even when I switch. Maybe not everything (I wouldn't know anyway if I can't remember) but some things ...

So an interview of someone who was origanaly diagnosed mpd like 40 years ago and is now diagnosed OSDD.

As a host, I am admittedly rather domineering and I do not take pleasure in letting things stand as they are. I recognize that I could channel this into actually making progress on healing, but I struggle with letting my parts express themselves as they are and always seem to disrupt any progress I make. When I start to work on something new, I end up destroying it. Even if I don't, someone else does. ...

Hi,

So I'm currently hospitalised and will soon be (end of the month) seen by a DID specialist to confirm my psychiatrist's hypothesis of a complex dissociative disorder (we're thinking partial DID).

Meanwhile I happened to be hospitalised and even here I don't feel / am not safe.
I'm frustrated because the team knows I have this dx/dx suspicion BUT they know next to nothing about the diag itself and are not helpful to help ...

DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM UNLES YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH BODY HORROR ON A VIDEODROME LEVEL.

If anyone else has had the dubious pleasure of watching "the substance" I wonder if you also saw parallels with being plural.

All they had to do is remember to switch every 7 days and communicate with each other. Instead they got jealous of the time the other had and had no regard for how their actions had consequences ...
