I am dignosed with depression, anxienty, ADHD and Schizophrena. I have not been dignosed with multiple personalities but i knwo for sure I have them. There are times we have switched with eachother and sometimes I don't recall that happened in the time frame we were switched out. I have so many of them it is hard to keep up with them all, althoguh each one has their own kind of personality, looks and their own name. I don't knwo if it is normal for most to have as many as i do but sometimes they help to share a conversation with when I am alone. i have a therpist as well for this and sometimes wonder if it helps me although, because it seems only times i go are every other week which are my good weeks and rarely are the bad days on the bad weeks.

hi LT_Lui_Aden

welcome to the group. It's not especially active at the moment, but there are lots of good people here that would share many of your experiences and can offer you support.

Does your therapist know you are Multiple? Or are they helping you with your other conditions? I'd imagine you'd still be getting benefit from your sessions with them, even if it is only on your good weeks? Therapy seems to most often be a long term commitment?

Well actually sometimes it helps but most of the time when I go to therapy I don't seem to ever remember what we have talked about or i don't enjoy it the most. Sometimes the sessions i have are alright. i don't feel like ever leaving this therapist because i feel like he knows me best and I don't trust any other therapists, he and I have been in sessions for about 2-3 years in all, although I feel sometimes the sessions don't always help. I have explained my personalities to him before, for they used to be a lot worse where i always switched every second of the day with them. Now i can control it a bit better although I wish I could just be all as 1 person. So my therapist says it is good that i am doing better but i think sometimes i feel like i put on an act for most people and say I'm fine all the time. Although one of my problems is to bottle every thing up, i don;t feel like things are on my mind yet sometimes they are. Daily i feel like my problems come and go and are off and on, you know?

I think therapy can still be effective even if you don't remember the session. And benefits might not always be immediate, we all often need time to process so many of our experiences, I'm pretty sure therapy is no different. I think it fantastic you have a therapist that you trust and like. What a good thing to have in your life. As for bottling things up - don't forget that here you have a safe place to vent
