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,...
Some times I, the host of all my personalities, wants to deney the fact that there are 11 of us. So I resist and do everything possible not to switch. After all what kind of help can one get living a lone with other personalities that have their own issues. I wish there was a living community that would house those of us who can function, but need care too. I hate loosing time and switching coming out of it not knowing what I did, what I ate, what I drank, who did I contact and did I harm myself. Then I get angry with myself for being so needy and not being able to stay on one track. My head is so chaotic tonight. I just need a safe place to be. I actually miss being in the hospital.
Yet we have specific challenges and need a lot of support sometimes too.
It would be nice to have a community - whether people lived in the same house or in the same apartment building or neighborhood - so we could help each other.
What helps me is DS and in-person support groups, plus's therapy and medications.
Sometimes, I also go into denial about DID, but then one of my alters shows up while I'm co-conscious. I don't remember half the things I do.
I have been in and out of hospitals many a times and I don't think I want to go bak in there...reason: the hospital is like a pararell universe and the outside world is a reality, when u are there u feel safe but can't stay there forever u have to eventually come out...
is there someone u can approach, like a therapist or a friend?
