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,...

My husband does not understand. He just wants them to go away. I keep telling him that they are doing no harm. That they all are helping. I am getting really frusterated with him. It is putting a wall between us. I need him to understand. Please help.

Have you guys noticed that this DID stuff sometimes is so unbelievable that even those who suffer with it don't believe it? Anyway, the Bourne Identity, Sybil, the Manchurin (sp?) Candidate - these pics might help people understand esp. the military movies cause research and history shows that soldiers were experimented on and deliberately divided so that they could be controlled or enhanced. I bet some of you know a whole lot more than me on that subject. But when I start to wonder if DID is true or even possible I remember what the government did to people. It's real.

My husband doenst understand either nor does he want to. When we were going to therapy he would wait in the waiting room then complain later about how much money this was costing. He is in denial. He knows the alters, hes met most of them, he still askes "why did you do this this way yesterday?" me-"I didnt do it yesterday" him-"Yes you did I saw you" So we all just accept that. It works ok most of the time but there are still some catches. I dont know how to make him understand but just know that we are with you on this and we do understand, even if he doesnt.

I am writing as one who looks from the outside in. I am not a multiple but my very best friend basteph1977 is. It is very very hard for most of us on the outside to understand and accept that this is real. I do believe becuase I can see the changes. He doesn't want to accept this becuase it is eaiser for his brain to just not understand. Give him time and he might come around. Some people just take longer. Some will never believe or understand. Don't give up on him! I read everything that I could find on the subject and it did help, maybe that is what he needs to do. I hope that he will be about to accept you for who you are, all of you, and be able to support you!!

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...
