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,...

We are confused. We know that we "feel" dissociated when littles are here (we are not, clearly speaking DID.. but DD NOS with clear identities and no amnesia). We know the DDNOS thing makes things confusing. But we know that "grounded" is supposed to mean NOT dissociated. But aren't we ALWAYS dissociated? When big me isn't connected to littles big is dissociated from littles. When we are connected to littles and they are here and we feel them with us and we talk little we feel funny and not quite "present" but we are more aware of some things than when we are big... Big we ignore other things and don't notice how things affect us until later... we forget things and lose track of things... thats pretty dissociated isn't it? Anybody else confused by this?

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care.

I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...

I have many types of Dissociation. And I found others have even more I never experienced.
Im so glad you brought this up, i hadnt thought about it but now that i am it makes sense. Ive been upset because i do lots of things, including borderline self harm while im not present and it makes my life even more difficult. I want it to stop but dont know how. Some say communicate with my parts, like i can call them on the phone or something. anyway now i realize im being arrogant, they have as much right to be present as i do and maybe theyre mad at me for hogging everything and thinking im the only one who counts. Good grief im a jerk.
As for The People, we wanted to say that we think you are starting to understand better. We are trying to say this in the nicest way, but we are alters and our birth alter fights admitting we exist and fights communicating with us because that will make us real. It makes some of us angry and frustrated and even makes some "parts" not want to communicate with her. So we urge you to try and start to be more open to communication with your alters. We know how they must feel. Hope that is not too harsh. It would be great if our birth alter knew of this site and was as open as you are in trying to understand.
how does one "be open" to their system when it has decayed due to further abuse? one of my troubles is that i can get the dissociatve walls down enough to talk deep issues with my therapist. I've been trying to mediatate, i have journals and art supplies like you wouldn't beleive, but those tools aren't being used either.
any suggestions???
