News of Dissociative Identity Disorder Forum

My therapist told me last week that I have DID. I knew I was dissociative, probably had Dissociative Disorder NOS, along with Major Depression and PTSD, but I did not think I had the qualifications for a DID diagnosis. I have had different parts of me come out pretty much just over the last 5-6 years (most all "littles", with an adolescent part as well), but I only go by one name regardless of what ...

Is it possible to have DID when you are a child, but then as you grow up, most symtoms seem to go away.

The black-out periods no longer happen and you wonder if the conversations in ...

Hello, I'm new here and though I don't really have questions about MPD (DID if you prefer) I find it really exciting to be able to communicate with others who have it and those who may or may not but have questions about it. Here is a little information about me: My name is Rich, I'm 25 y/o I live in Far Northern California. Married almost 7 years and I'm not sure exactly how many ...

I've notticed that a lot of people seem to be able to communicate with their "Alters" and was wondering how it is done, as no matter how hard I try communicating, it just doesn't seem to work :( . So I guess my question is how do you communicate with your "Alters"?
