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 feel broken and overwhelmed with everything. The urge to cut is very strong today. And while the other personalities in my head are not the root cause of everything, the fact that they are there are not helping.
Some things that I have done in the past depend on what's really driving the urge. I have an alter that punishes so if it's her will driving me I find a "healthier" alternative . This is usually something physical like walking, hitting the punching bag, scrubbing the oven, doing something till you're just exhausted. This also works for like pent up nervous, pacing the floor energy. If it's nagging thoughts, or what I call "committee chaos" that loud stfu noise in your head that just won't stop I find a way to change focus. If I'm able to I read. But sometimes I get this glitch where I can't so maybe I'll listen to Audible, a podcast, TED talk, or I'll binge cheezy horror movies But if that's not working I may do a game, puzzle or craft that takes some but fairly minimal concentration so that I don't get frustrated and quit. Something like word searches, mah jong, crosswords, knitting, cross stitch. Or even organizing, I love color coding, labeling, itemizing and other OCD satisfying stuff.
I hope this helps
I also have coloring that I can do when I finish or play video games.
