Multiple Personalities Support Group
Dissociative identity disorder is a diagnosis described as the existence in an individual of two or more distinct identities or personalities, each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment. At least two of these personalities are considered to routinely take control of the individual's behavior, and there is also some associated memory loss,...
One of my personalities caused me to have such a horrible panic attack yesterday. That personality is an artist. I was trying to create a birthday gift for a friend, because the artist personality has been gone for a while. She has been mad at us. However, when were working on the project she showed up and she was so pissed off that we were trying to do her work and she hated how this gift was turning out that it caused us to have this huge panic attack. Unfortunately, I hurt (cut)myself even after I talked with my therapist and my Dr about what meds to take to calm me down. This personality has never been intimidating or angry, but when I felt her rage it scared me to the point of total chaos within my whole system. I am still shaking from it today. I think Ill stay in my PJs all day and do nothing!
cutting is not a solution..i realized that the hard way...i am sorry u had to go and are undergoing stress and panic attacks due to this personality...
perhaps talking with her will help...
all the best
if i could talk to your angry artist...i would say im sorry i have not listened to you...i want hear what you have to say.
i have not processed anger myself and am afraid that i carry it around
your artist has the beautiful gift of expression....how can she express her anger thru art?
i would want to learn from her how to process the anger...she has amazing gifts....
Why does the artist think that that is solely her domain? perhaps it triggered some repressed memory, the reason that this alter was created in the first place. I would not be bullied by this alter, and giving in would let that alter think that bullying you works and then would just do it again and again and again and worse. So I think it needs to be handled asap,
If you can't handle it, and stay in your PJ's and are afraid to do anything now, well, it's a holiday, and same advice as to tyzz, to try to take it easy till you can call your therapist on Tuesday. Is there a crisis center near you?
