Multiple Personalities Support Group
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,...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
first: As protector, do your job. Make sure any 'littles' are in a safe place.
Second: Make sure any of those that might be influenced by the hosts behavior. (those that are suicidal and easily influenced by others)
Third: Provide some backbone for your host, she is going to need it. If necessary (I don't know how large your system is) find another insider to help.
Basically, shelter the littles, keep safe the easily influenced and provide back-up for the host.
There will be a lot of feelings coming out over the next few weeks and your host may need time off, if there is another that can stand in her place, that would be wonderful, if not, then while she is with her parents make sure she has frequent breaks and cooling off periods.
Do your job, but don't allow it to overwhelm you.
Feel free to message me anytime, and I will try to help as best I can. I have dealt with this for over 20 years now and have learned a few tricks to get through the holidays.
Good luck to you--Laura
There comes a time, when you have to blow the whistle and say, enough!!
There are only so many hours in a day, and only so much energy you have to be able to use your time efficiently.
That includes needed time for rests.
Does she HAVE to go back to the parents for Christmas??? If so, then give her a way out if she needs it...permission to leave if she can't handle any more...even if just to go for a walk to cool off, or to go to a restaurant for coffee...if you/she needs to go home, then allow for that...find a way to be able to transport yourself if you need to, and not be dependent on someone else for it, if you possibly can.
