What do you do when you have no one to rely on in anyway and you just want things to end. I'm tired of the constant insults and being alone It's getting harder and harder to deal with things and right now one of my only coping mechanisms is dividing my thoughts into separate people in my mind (i.e. my insecurity is called jasmine and things that I refuse are called my old name) this helps because I can have people help me with my problems (though I don't think dementia likes me much, she's my anger) but I'm afraid if I keep doing this might I go crazy or develop multiple personality disorder
welcome to the group. It's not very active at the moment but you'll find people here that can relate to some of what you're experiencing and can offer support

What you describe sounds a bit like somthing I have called compartmentalisation I have in the past been able to sort of lock away the worst thoughts and memories by listening to somthing wirh a certain rythm (music is what that usually is) and visualize walking down a white hallway opening a door walking down another hallway and repeating this till I'm ready to lock up the memory (usually somthing that is causing significant cognitive dissonance) then I open a final door to a totally dark room with a box in it then put the thought into the box and shut it then I exit the room and walk back down the hallways shutting the doors behind me till the thought is so far away it's not there any more .I concentrate on the hallways and shutting doors till its far away and I'm feeling safe from it. It doest always work and when it does somtimes it's only temporary but it helps . Hope this helps.
