hello,
i have been in treatment for DID for three years, i truly did not know exactly what i was dealing with until today, when it came to the surface that i have been dealing with MPD. Glad my therapist allowed me to discover it over such a long period of time, but now i am very confused, i feel as if a war is going on inside of me. Feelings of being stripped and left bare, not knowing exactly what to do. (i nearly ran out of my therapist office) i feel as if there are voices yelling at me in my head. i know that there are others out there that have experienced this, and would love to have advice on how to deal with it. thanks and have a wondeful day

" Hate to tell you but in my experience, if you feel like you have voices screaming in your head and you have DID well then you can bet you do have voices in your head screaming.

For me within 6 months of starting with my psych he had provided a diagnosis. I was obviosuly not prepared to receive a formal dx and thus took 3 yrs to fully accept it on a logical basis.

As stupid as it is, think one of the best ways to start dealing with it is to literally tell the voices they you want to lsiten to them but you can only listen to them one at a time.

I have also purchased a journal for which internals can write in and I can write to them.

I think one of the hardest things to do, but it muct be done is to try and meet a good portion of their needs. Its difficult im my opinion because some of the thigns they want will be childish and other things will be extremely mature and adult in nature. It does get hard trying to meet all their needs so I have had to tell them, there will be times I can meet some need, other times where I can meet all needs and other times where I just need to focus on current day situation stuff to get us all through.

It is difficult but I am here and this board is prooving to be a pretty good place to vent. "
