I just spent 9 days in the hospital, because three of my alters were acting out in very dangerous ways. I've been home now 4 days and my alters are frustrated. They want someone other than myself to talk to. They are afraid to come out when we are alone, because they act out when there is no help to process what is going on. When they hide I get such anxiety. Does anyone else have alters that need to speak with other people besides your self?

I don't have any advice on this as I am just learning. I will wait for others to respond. I just wanted so say I am sorry you had to go to the hospital. I hope it helped and that you are all ok.

Answer, yes

You may consider practicing here with the group and giving one of them a voice. What would he/ she like to say?

Once you get a dialogue going, I find it gets easier... This is a supportive group... And we are here for you and we all know the fear in being vulnerable.

I have one friend that my alters can speak with... and I think that it does help to give them some time to communicate with someone that does understand... but I have found it to be counter productive to talk to someone that does not understand ... it seems to be very frustrating when they don't acknowledge my alters and it does cause anxiety, because I start trying to explain myself... which is not cool... and I do have the tendency to hide my alters from the world that does not understand... I am grateful that I have one friend that understands me... glad that you are out of the hospital and hope that you are feeling better... and I agree with john that opening up the communication here is a great start... and also to allow yourself to do some communicating with your alters... giving them a voice and understanding what they are wanting to say to you... good luck to you on your journey!!

I would just echo that all alters are welcome here. It is nice if they sign or announce or you do for them. I think that helps the recognition. I am new but have told the alters they can write, though so far its only been my little she does speak here.

so glad you are out of harms way, Lilu. Legion has had moments like that.

hi, i'm PiP. for myself it gets old just hashing over stuff between us. it gets even older dealing with the outside. a couple people get it and we feel sorta safe with them, but most just kant see past their nose. honestly we have thrown TONS of hissi fits cause of this very delima you speak of. in fakt that is my very important speciality *sniggles* the only thing that helps is that wes finded places like this to meet with those like us who live like us and even though we live far away we connekt and support.
