My personalities are all sad. My siblings think I'm a freakshow My daughter does talk to some of them, but she's moved as faraway as possible. My son thinks I'm making it all up. Nobody but my therapist talks to them. We are lonely and sad that the people I love the most will not believe we are real people. my heart is heavy from rejection. I just want to be a normal person!...tears on my pillow!

I feel the same Jessica.I have theorized that alot more people have DID than they want to believe and these usually are the people who doubt your disorder.The alters within them make them feel that way in order to not be discovered themselves by their host.They push away from me too.Since my discovery of having DID my entire family has pushed away.As well as all of my husbands family.I know all of them have this condition because all of them went through the same abuse as me throughout there childhoods and their alters within them run in fear with any mention of abuse and my disorder.I have confronted a few of them with this fact explaining they have all of the same symptoms as me and I watch as they switch between alters and their core personality being afraid and angry at me. Then when their core comes out they admit to me "yeah I might have this disorder".Then when I speak to them the next day they have no memory of the conversation we had the day before.This is because their alters take away their awareness so as to stay in hiding.I feel that the only people that discover that they have this disorder are the people that have chosen to get into recovery and thats when they discover they do.This is what happened in my case.I went 32 years thinking I was normal until I started to recover from my past.This is when I discovered I had DID.I practically begged these people I confronted to at least get into recovery for their past but I guess their alters are happy with the status quo of living life damaged from the abuses they have suffered.I hope you can find solace in this message board as I have.At least here there are others like ourselves who are not afraid to face their past and their disorder.Go luck to you and best regards.

Mine get sad, too about the same thing. I have seen my sister (whom I do NOT get along with) blatantly switch, so I know she's got it, and I agree; for those especially in our families, who have likely been exposed to the same kind of abuse that caused our own disorder, that fear is understandable, but still, very painful. It also makes me sad, because our awareness and experience in therapy, could also be a bridge for them, but they have to be willing to cross it.
