what effect does MPD have on a friend

deleted_user
deleted_user
My best friend of ten years had MPD. I was able to adjust to the changes. I was often manipulated and strained, I was brain washed. I loved her dearly, but when my life changed, she got jealous and did not want any part of my positve changes in my life. I know that MPD is caused by sever trauma, mostly from satanic abuse. I have heard stories and i am thankful i am who i am. one being. God bless to all who suffer. there are programs to intagrate.

Katie when you become an support it's a 100% strain till the alters have their story told. How they suffered. Till then most of the time nothing matters. This is apart of healing it takes time. And yes it's once sided. Intagrate is not always the key. So many say that . It happens that's wondeful and if the alters find their place without intration that can happen too. Be there if you can just know the scales will be tilted for sometime.

I AM GLAD YOU WERE ABLE TO SUPPORT YOUR FRIEND. I WAS SEVERELY ABUSED,PHYSICALLY, SEXUALLY AND MEDICALLY NEGELCTED, NOW HAVING GONE THRU 44 SURGERIES AND MORE TO COME. WE CHOOSE NOT TO INTERGRATE, IT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. WE CHOOSE TO WORK TOGETHER AND MY ALTERS ARE AS MUCH A PART OF MY LIFE AS THEY WERE IN KEEPING ME ALIVE. I AM GLAD THEY WANT TO STAY AROUND, IT SEEMS NATURAL AFTER ALL THEY WENT THRU THE MAJORITY OF THE ABUSE AND KEPT ME SAIN!

JUST ANOTHER SIDE OF THE COIN.

so- here we are... just trying to cope. to get by.
big time sexual abuse. yuck. I don't have memories of NOT being sexually abused (at least once a week). My earliest 'real' memory of it, I was 3 years old.
How come do they wanna hurt us like that-from little me.
i suppose I'll come back to this

take care bye

Katie,
I didn't read your post very good the first time so I am adding somethings. Sorry about your friend not moving on with you. Some like to stay in the comfort zone. MPD is very or can be draining as you well know. Your growing and she is in a diff. area in her life. Hang in there gal!

Blessings
:-)

Katie, I hope your friend is engaged in therapy, so she, too, can have positive changes in her life, even if she does not integrate. Some friends are forever, and some are just for a season. There is grief in this....but also maturity.

Katie even though your friend is DID/MPD each part has to take responsibility for their actions. We do not ever want to inegrate. Our life use to be chaos and we have learned in thearpy how to work together. You can call them on their stuff and not allow them to manipulate you. There is healing if people want it. We do not consider DID/MPD a bad thing. Shadow

    Hi all! This is for those of you that have or have had the same neurologist for 4 years or more. I have been with mine now since 2009. He is one of the best movement disorder secialists in the midwest. I know he is extremely busy on the lecture circuit now and in fact not taking new patients there is a huge waiting list for him. BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
