DID advice.

DID advice.

Hi, I want to ask for advice from anyone who is experiencing DID or someone with a psych background.

For the last couple of years I have a new alter which is violent and furious, only towards myself. The last couple of weeks were particularly bad. Then my therapist saw me last Friday and my mood lifted and I felt such relief and safer. I thought I was over the worst of it. But today, while I am still feeling good, she's/it's still there. I'm scared that I might return to the state I was in the previous past two weeks where I was suicidal.

What can I do? How do you control yours? What is the standard method of dealing with DID and violent alters these days?

Re: DID advice.

Just stopping by to say hi.

I hope things have settled a bit more for you @Lemonjuice. I don’t know if it’s a helpful suggestion, so just ignore it if you want, but could you try a written communication with this hostile alter, between you and she / it ? You might get a whole heap of abuse at first if they need to vent a lot, but you might also get some understanding of what it is about .... whether there is a resentment there, or whether they fear a uniting of the alters for some reason, or maybe it’s a misguided attempt to protect you / them from further harm ?

Hi @Bubbles3 .... 💕
