While it is fairly new to me, as well, I understand wanting to turn to those who may understand. My best advice is to seek a counselor who is very experienced with DID. Mine uses emdr therapy and our ultimate goal is integration. Treatment is different for everyone, however. As far as functioning goes, I take each day breath by breath. Having said that, breathing helps me quite a bit with grounding myself. I also use meditation and I am learning to talk to my alters to find out what each of their needs are. It's difficult. Sometimes you feel like you are "crazy" .. Talking to yourself. Essentially though, aren't we doing just that? All of our "parts" make us who we are. All of them have a purpose and reason for being there. I wish I had more to offer you. I am "here" if you ever need to chat. (I think we can leave messages on here? I'm new to this site.) My hope is that we can all offer each other something to help one another, even if it's just knowing we aren't alone in each of our own personal battles.

Welcome to the group! I don't have DID, but my fiance does. His advice, as a protector that was only recently allowed to act as host, is to just be as open as possible with yourself. From what he says, a lot of the separation is caused by parts of your brain trying to protect you from bad things in your past, and sometimes the alters protecting you can feel unappreciated if you don't recognize that they exist, or just consider them an illness just to be cured.

As for ways you can help open lines of communication, writing things down and like 6in1harely4fun said, talking to yourself can work wonders.
It also sounds like you're having a bad time, feeling like you can't talk to people without being a burden, and I just want to say it'll be alright, and if anyone treats you like a burden then they have no clue how awesome your mind is. I mean seriously, sometimes it may suck to not be "normal", but your brain is so powerful that it's given you a coping mechanism of making whole new ways of thinking!
It's gonna be tough, no question about that, and you might have to face things that just suck, but in the end, you'll have learned things that might just help you in ways other people don't understand. Just have faith that even if it takes a little time, the steps you take now will make the next step so much easier. You're doing a great job! :)

Thank you so much,both of you! I honestly teared up from the heartwarming replies. It took me a while to get back on this site because I have terrible memory and forget quickly but I am glad I stumbled upon here once more.I will try to keep moving and write down advices you gave me.I agree,treatment is different but first I have to see what fits me ,so trying anything and everything will do.
Thank you once more♥

hi HoneyConeCake
welcome to the group. Like Reason, I'm not multiple myself. I found my way to this group because I wanted to better understand two of my friends who are. From my friends i agree with 6in1harely4fun, all of your Alters are with you because they had in the past or still have a purpose that you all needed them for. If you aren't aware of that purpose you might not understand their behaviours. I've come to believe that all Alters deserve to be acknowledged and validated, i think this tends to foster co-operation and help day to day living. I'm sure you'll find support here from members to help all of you

How are u doing on things?
I have a journal that none of !my alters write in, so I've been trying to develop something else, like a binder of fun stuff. Coloring books for littles to color in, cards, something so they might learn to trust me.
I have felt lately like I've lost a lot of memory function too...I used to be in theatre and could memorize yards of dialogue, now I can barely remember what day it is.
I kind of think its just your system.s way of filtering and trying to get us to focus oin the most important things at hand, like being healthy.
But that's just me...
