what to do with an alter that doesnt care anymore

One of my alters Riley switched in at a REALLY bad time as another alter was getting...um intimate with a friend. Without getting to graphic Kim likes to be tied up. Riley switched in in the middle and flashed back to the incedent that created her in the first place. Now she is distant detached and has to be pushed to do anything. At first she tried suicide, then she did absolutly nothing, She was very open to suggestions so my best freind talked to her. Apparently she is "shattered" with little riley peices all over her room. Kim has pushed her to sort out all her peices then start putting them back together but now she is distant and doing nothing. I cant even talk to her now. Can anyone help???

ugh. i hate when things like that happen. the best thing i can suggest is to ask her what she wants to do. is she young? would she like to color or draw? maybe maybe Kim can talk to her and tell her that it's safe now and no one will hurt her.

if riley was even talking anymore i could ask her what she wants to do but alas there is a ray of hope...she switched into a silly clapping game with a friends 8 y o daughter. Maybe she has reverted somehow...or maybe my riley has an alter all her own????

I too, have experienced something similar, as such things are part of my lifestyle, and it was traumatic when it happened. What my partner and I both did was to encourage my little 'other' to get to know him with safe activities, like coloring, reading. I have learned to hold and nurture her. If you feel safe with your partner enlist her help in reassuring your little riley. Big hugs and comfort to you.

How does this work with the backwards puzzles pieces?

See, this is what concerns me when my alters get suicidal... I usually step in with a big bottle of superglue to put the fix on 'em.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
