I am not coping well at the moment. I feel like my mental health is like a roller coaster going really fast. Moods are constantly switching so are my alters.
I feel like I'm stuck in my own thoughts at the moment and feel like I can't escape them. My panic attacks are becoming more frequent than usual. Feeling numb aswell.

Hey @Fluttershy1 I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. It's really great that you're actively engaging in your coping though, I know it can be exhausting when it feels like it's not working, but sometimes it can feel like it isn't working even when it is. I hope you're able to continue with your strategies, and you can always reach out to one of the crisis lines if you're feeling at risk. Sitting with you, this moment in time will pass

I think I've learnt to sit with the pain....

That's not good that you can't find your meds, @Fluttershy1 . I hope you can locate them soon...

Please take care, @Fluttershy1 ...I hope you can sleep.

@Maggie - is there a easier way or a better way to communicate with my alters I'm switching like no tomorrow and they are really stressing me out.
I've tried keeping calm and communicating with them but they are just not listening tonight. I promised my counsellor that I would keep a food diary and I didn't even do that due to my alters constantly switching. It's scary and really uncomfortable...

@Jynx - are you around?
Things are going pear shaped, my alters are running crazy. I'm getting the blame for something I didn't even do off my family and it's stressing me out. I feel numb. I feel insecure and really not myself
