So in April when my 2nd strongest alter was very active I started to get my menstrual cycle in the middle of the month when mine is usually at the end.About a week or so later I had it again not as painful,like usual.I had it again at the middle of June and feel like I might have it any time soon now again.I have a strong feeling this is connected to my constant switching.Is that possible?This has never happenned before so I am really worried.My diet is healthy so it can not be because of that.The one in the middle of the month is really painful and different.Can alters affect my body this much?

i have DID and I know each of us are different...I personally have never been through that, wondering if you have ruled out any/all medical issues...if yes, as you are switching, can you talk to your alter and figure out the trigger if any...some internal communication will help as well...I have noticed on my personal front, I do sometimes get my cycle early than I used to, it also depends on who is stressed and where and what circumstances are taking us and we are in the middle of what situation...hope this helps and others pitch in. all the best

I've heard that different alters can have different physical attributes. Different eye color, different vision strengths, etc. One therapist told me that one of her clients could lower her blood sugar by allowing a different alter to come forward. But I later discovered that the integrity of that certain therapist was far less than desirable.

Personally, I can believe whole-heartedly and have experienced myself differences in different alters; such as, of course, different tones of voice, and vocabulary usage, different color preferences, ages, differences in facial expressions, etc. But actual physical changes, aside from abreactions, is hard for me to swallow. Although, while I have experienced abreactions, I have not, to my knowledge, ever experienced an actual complete physical change. As some people I've both met and heard of. But I've only heard their claims and not seen them for myself. Although I have been in this world long enough now that I can believe that anything, at least almost anything, is possible. And I'm open to knowing anything new.

Oops. And I also forgot to say, if you are experiencing more menstrual blood flow than expected for more than one month, you need to get that checked out ASAP. It could be a sign of something serious. But the diagnosis would depend on several things.

hi HoneyConeCake
i agree with darkside2276 and Starfish, perhaps best see a GP to check for any physical medical issues? If there are none, then explore the options you're already considering?

I agree also. Go see a specialist for your physical problem.

One time I got drunk. I woke up with a hang over. I switched and that personality was not hung over. I do have a personality that is left handed, I am right handed. I also have a personality that creates symphonies in her head, but I have no musical training and I have one that speaks a foreign language.

My therapist is amazed by their differences. I believe that we really do not know a lot about the power of the mind. If people knew more about the function of the brain they would understand us better.

I can draw with my left hand but not my right. I looked at a left-handed website lately for people who were forced to be right-handed and were born left-handed. I match with a lot of people's issues there. I found out in a theater makeup class, that when I apply makeup, I need to use my right hand for my right side and my left hand for my left side. I don't ask any dr.s about it because if they don't believe in mpd that much or at all, I'm kinda up a creek if that's why I'm like that.
