We wonder if there are even any meds for us?

Acceptance

I was reading the thread "Sometimes its great being DID".

I realised I couldnt participate in this thread.
Cause I dont think it is great.

To me it is always a reminder of what has been.
As I am always in control (well as far as I know) - I find the 'disturbances' mostly annoying.

I have gotten past the stage of hating myself(s) and continually work on acceptance.
Guess I got a long way to go.

Confused

Ive asked my partner about getting rid of his alter, and he tells me that he and the alter have both tried to get rid of him( the alter) ,but since he does not go away, that hes keeping him forever. Does this make ANY sense ? My parter wont go to counceling.

Where to begin.....after seven years of therapy we decided about six weks ago that it was time to come off meds...as we sit here right now we know that under the surface of this decision was a deep desire to be "better"...grown up, normal...something, anything that wasn't DIDs!!!! Two days ago after what can only be described as a waking nightmare we caved and re started the meds.
we have such mixed feelings...number one of course...we failed....
we sat down one day...

Just wanted to say...

Support people, you are awesome. We think we speak for just about everyone when we say that we don't know what we'd do without you. Especially when you know times are tough, but still stick around. That says so much to us...and, so, thank you all.

Guess we just wanted to say that ^__^'

completely frustrated

Obviously, our parents do not know about my D.I.D. If they did, "furious" would not quite cover their reaction. They haven't let us talk to a professional in a while, but last year we talked to and came to trust our highschool counselor. However, our mom quickly found out and made sure that stopped completely.

It's a new school year, and our counselor thinks it would be a good idea for us to join a sort of group therapy thing that meets during one random class...

Being Ready To Part With Some Things

I was reading another thread about how it is great to be DID sometimes and the thought crossed my mind--

When I first got into cooking, I did it all. Ate many, many things. Gradually balanced myself out. Same thing for art--I wanted to learn it all--had art supplies enough to run an art school. Same thing for awhile with animals (mostly fish, thankfully!).

For a long time I wasn't willing to part with any of the stuff I'd collected. I reasoned that I might want it...

Yeah! We're Back!!

Hello Everyone!! So excited! Just got released from the hospital and feel so much better. Not really that the whole experience was worth it but it gave us time to think and be quiet for a minute.
Sometimes we are all wanting to have something to say and it gets to (me). But being in what is basically a cell (they) were nice and quite and (I) had time to just be. That and we found that our suicidal girl isn't wanting to die. Yippy!! That is the best news yet! Now just gotta...

the war inside

OK. I'm not gonna give the whole damned story.
I beat myself with my fists last night.

I hate the phrase "I couldn't help it, or I couldn't stop it." I kept telling myself I had a choice. The more I told myself this, the more I hit myself, like punishing myself even for the thought. Someone was really, really angry and its kinda scary. I couldn't say I could keep myself safe. My SO stayed up late with me and I took meds until I got sleepy. I also left...

Hi Teens!!!

OK I thought of this after seeing Jusstus's Superman picture. If ya could be a super hero what one would ya be and why? I was thinking it would be cool to be Storm from the X-Men cause it would be cool to make it rain when people needed it.

I took Babs to the vet today for his needles and to make an appointment to have him neutured, we went in and the Dr. said ...Well your not a good looking dog now are you...HOW RUDE!!!!!!! I couldn't believe he said that. Before we left he did say Babs wasn't that bad looking. I think he's a handsome little guy, what about you???

Not sure about where I stand?

Hi I wanted to come back and get to know several people here from before and I thought that we might get in contact with each other again. I miss it here and miss getting to know alot of others again. I am really getting into a new place for myself and I am really busy getting on with things in Therapy. My T has been very supportive and I have a chance to go back and visit with a previous T that I at times wish that I had never left. My older T fills in when my new T goes on vacation, So I...

Don't know if it may trigger or not, but better safe than sorry

Ugh...what a frustrating day.

Our significant other asked us to come down to the mall where he works to see him when he got off work at 3:30. So we walked nearly three miles, even though it was really hot out, to go and see him. When we got there at 3:20, his co-workers said he'd already left. He has no phone, and so we always have to wait for him to call us. An hour later he calls, and we're still at the mall because we found a book to read. He stops by to see us.
