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,...
Hi there!
I have been aware of parts within myself and many dissociative symptoms but have always said I have DDNOS (dissociative disorder not otherwise specified) because I'd never lost time or seen evidence of parts coming out at all, with or without my knowledge.
The morning of New Year's Eve I was talking with my roommate and she said she heard me talking in two different voices, arguing with myself, in the middle of the night. She told me just because she wanted to make sure I realized I was using two different voices. I thought we were talking about a different time and then things weren't really making sense and I said, "When was this?" "4AM". I have no recollection of that. "Oh God." was my response. Anywho, I've been looking for a new therapist anyway, but now I'm desperate to find someone who understands dissociative disorders and has worked with parts before. I'm currently inpatient (I didn't want to take any chances) but they are looking at a discharge date of Tuesday, Jan 8 and I'm like "Not without a therapist appointment scheduled!"
I live near Worcester, MA. I prefer somone within half an hour of my home, but I may be able to see someone up to an hour away, if I can work out getting a ride. I do have people at McLean Hospital looking for someone for me, and have reached out to every other contact I can think of who may know someone.
Thanks for listening!

that most have been a very disconcerting way to find out that you might have parts. I hope you find a therapist you're comfortable with and who is sympathetic to Multiples. I have a brand new grandson just 3 weeks old whose 1st name is Ambrosio

I'm really glad you found someone that's appropriate for you. Not always an easy thing. And that you're making progress despite the discomfort. That's a great start to this new year
