    Structural Dissociation

    "Putting back in the box". I don' t know. I'd say looking through a collection of thoughts, or even files of thoughts. You have to know what it is, bring it out; "shadow work". Then you weed out. It's mindfulness; being aware. Look up "ego transcendence".

    Cognitive block?

    Now, I have been thinking on this too. I see this with so many people, and I have been thinking it's a symptom that isn't always discussed. It's a cousin to hoarding or something. Also, you can live with someone that clutters, and it can effect your relationship? To me; I feel like I have less...

    Is this self harm/self mutilation?

    Well. I'm reading about the "self-loathing and I understand, but I'm reading, "if I remove the parts that are sexually female; then I won't be a target"? Here is the thing though, the men or whoever, that hurt you because of the "sexual" nature of being a woman are "objectifying you", right...

    Time loops and barricades

    also, Finchelet, I am curious about "the mirror being the universe". It may be that this is a safe place for a dissociative part to be out? I get that the cutting is a way to "cut off the emotionally repressed part of you". It's a symbolic act though. It's a shame part of you cutting of the...

    Time loops and barricades

    so, are you saying, you had early trauma, and then the gang trauma came around the twenties? OK, when you have self mutilation; do you feel that regulates anger in any way? and if so, how is that?

    DID Does anyone that dissociates, "see" other alters

    Good point, but no, it's not an alter thing; it's a real situation

    DID Does anyone that dissociates, "see" other alters

    also, remember, "the bubble people are always there, that's the kicker...but get this..they go away when she "cuts", (a rage regulator toward her mother out of fear for she and her siblings at a child level), when she is " having sexual relations with her husband", and finally when she is in the...

    DID Does anyone that dissociates, "see" other alters

    OK, she is seeing a therapist, and it was "complex PTSD", obviously, but "Dissociative", possibly "DID". I was told, "perhaps it is atypical, but the bubble people are like a "safety-net", a part of the dissociative". Therapist was going to perform EMDR, but was afraid my friend was not "stable...

    DID Does anyone that dissociates, "see" other alters

    She does call them her, "bubble people". she does not have a diagnoses of dissociative. She did tell me she has had "an imaginary friend", not untypical, of course for children. This one, however, actually "carried out behaviors". She "blew out the ashes from her abusive mother's ash tray" and...

    DID Does anyone that dissociates, "see" other alters

    Both. She had been hospitalized when her husband left her for a short time, as "she felt abandoned". She did not eat, or get out of bed for about a week. They kept her in there for about one month, and couldn't decide what to diagnose. They gave her lithium, (you know), and right before they...

    DID Does anyone that dissociates, "see" other alters

    I have been talking to a lady, with extreme past trauma. My friend had very early sexual trauma from a family member, and her mother was neglectful, and physically abusive. She has every symptom of C-PTSD, however, she tells me "she feels bubble people around her, with only the exception of when...

    Anyone get sleep paralysis?

    No, that's not to be ashamed of I don't think!. It seems like a younger you is activated, and walks out of the bed, sucks it's thumb, and then you become conscious of the present self. I think, take special note of the "being ashamed" it could be a part of the self remaining when you shift back...
