Thank you @WinnieThePoohChris Yes I'm wondering whether to do this or just leave it until T is back. I have parts who like to become very critical of me for even bringing up the idea of sharing or looking into it... parts which feel very bad... parts which are fearful and I'm not sure whether...

15 months in to specialist trauma therapy (dissociative disorder focused), and T and I are finally beginning to get to talking a bit more about the trauma..or at least parts of it.... a very small part. I was working with one of my teenage parts on writing what is remembered about being at my...

@recoveringfromptsd just wondering if you'd seen these - or if they may help? They way he explains it more or less is that partial DID is a more hidden / covert form of DID whereby symptoms are generally experienced more internally and there's less of an outward expression of it, so it's...

Should say I would love to hear from those not just with osdd but obviously did as well

Ummmmm oooh, I don't know?! I mean I guess the OSDD thing is a bit more specific as a diagnosis so I'm maybe wanting to hear from others with that diagnosis for strategies they've learned and tried out? I'm open to any feedback but I think those with experience with dissociative disorders would...

Wow, this hit home.... Anyway, I don't know how your managing to get on more @Renly or whether your system calendar helped etc. I'd be interested to hear. As the main host, I've tried so many times to get my shit together and get organised to approach therapy in a logical way. Then, with the...

Great that you thought to post.... Why not set yourself another literary challenge to do with DID/ Dissociative disorders? One which aims to capture a more true representation of what it's like to live with, rather than link it to sensational and ficticious characters? There's a REAL lack of...

I could have written your post word for word! I have vOSDD with amnesia. I've struggled with denial of my diagnosis and alot of dissociative symptoms. And much to my therapist's dismay (most likely!) I can wake up on a day, despite 2 x weekly therapy for over a year, and just fell/ think that I...

Thank you @Dark.Green.Feath and @whiteraven - interesting to hear 2 quite different approaches... Loved the idea of emotional constipation! I can really relate to this as I'm sure lots of people can... I'm currently in a situation where I've had to move back in with my mum temporarily for a...

I have OSDD. Been diagnosed for 8 years. Only started specialist therapy for dissociative disorders 14 months ago. I do find it difficult accepting my diagnosis. But I can also see how that in itself is part of an elaborate internal system to keep me from addressing the trauma and realising the...

I'm shocked by some of the comments on this thread as many others are. I'm so sorry Rachel that this is all going on around you when you just shared for understanding and compassion... I'm so sorry this happened to you... I'm not in your dad's head so I can't say what he was thinking though I...

I hear you on so much of this I really do... Wishing you well @Ecdysis 😊

Hey @Ecdysis I really really recognise the place you're at... I've been there myself... having been through this a number if times though, I think like others here, it's given me opportunity for reflection... I've highlighted @Sideways post because essentially all the points here were the...

3 arms for sure... think how much more you could get done! Sky dive or bungee jump? 😳

I'm so sorry I didn't reply @Sideways And @Movingforward10 ... I'm always very grateful for your responses and find them so helpful.. I'm just very overwhelmed with managing everything at the moment and my brain over loaded...I want to respond when I can... 😊

Scared. Misunderstood. Completely alone. Bad. Nervous. Sad.

This comment helps me so much This helps alot to read a bit about your experience, thank you for sharing... It's so hard, I know. Sometimes I just know that it's too much for the session so have to pick and choose which to look at... Ok, yes I can see how you've laid it out how that works (in...

I'm just not understanding any of this!! I think multiple parts have multiple feelings. Some conflicting. And I really can't understand any of it. Also because it's bubbled up so quickly. Teenager has 'love' feelings towards T. She also hates him. And also has darker sexualised (abuse...

f*ck you're right

Thanks @arfie @Movingforward10 @Midnightmoon @Sideways @Friday and @parrotthepolly really appreciate your input Oh god. I'm a bit confused. So T does work relationally. And from what you're all saying I should speak with him about this. But omg this is so difficult!! Ok... the whole...

Uggh could really do without this but can't ignore any more. I have OSDD. My teenage part has started to develop feelings for my T who is around the same age as adult me. Doesn't help that he is quite good looking 😕. As adult me, I don't have any romantic feelings towards him AT ALL. So this is...

Thank you for your thoughts @Lily44 i appreciate it 🙏

Thank you so much for your reply @Sideways ... i think i must have switched since you wrote it because I've only just become aware of myptsd again... I've been really quite ill actually but I'm coming out the other side this week so will get back about what you wrote because it's helpful...

Of course! Duh ! I think by default no one ever is..I mean even if it is ready to do the work, who is willingly going into this with a 'I'm ready to take it all on' attitude!? I can see what your T means though... Well done... Yes yes end yes. Quality community of strong and wise people...

Yes you're right...I guess I am having more glimpses and openings where I see this.. sometimes I'm half in and half out... it's really hard work isn't it? But yeah I wasn't aware how much these processes were doing tu my life and I still have trouble accepting and seeing some things... but I'm...
