Hi Whiteraven, I'll try to give you an idea of what I think the forum is like: There are a few rules that seemed "limiting" at the time of joining, but seem to make sense now. First one is no parts/alters under 21 allowed to post. In fact most users only use their "main" part to post there is...

I am a member of PODS. the forum is well catered for and friendly. It is UK centric, but open to international people as well, and there is a subscription of around £4/$5 a month. The subscription keeps the user numbers lower, but also the quality higher.

Great topic and for something so common in DID not talked about all that much. I am diagnosed as DID (and that is quite an accomplishment living in th UK!), I have identified about 7 parts so far. The two main parts who control the body are a male and a female. At first, when this first started...

Thanks for that. We did tell our therapist about Peter, and explained that we were scared of him. Her advice was in the short term to limit his exposure to anything he may get his hands on to hurt us with, So we need to lock all the knives and tablets in the house away; she said not so they are...

@whiteraven - Thanks so much for your insight. You are probably right, we need to talk to him; at the moment though I do not think he wants to interact with anyone. Every attempt I have had to "approach" him has resulted in him swearing and snarling at me or just plain ignoring me. It reminds me...

A couple of months ago, I went away for a week or so. I do not really know the reason why but when I returned we had another alter join us. He is a young man of about 25 and I know his name. However he is quite abusive to me and keeps telling me he is dead. He obviously is not dead, as he is...

Hi Thanks both for your insights. @Dissociated1 : I did actually post this first in the sub-forum you recommended but it was moved quickly to here. I will try and be a bit more concise in future. It did take me a while to write that, and I removed/edited it a lot, so the title may of been a bit...

Just to update. I called the CMHT helpline today and they re-directed me to "CALL listening line" for North Wales. Its a 24 hour line for anyone with mental or trauma issues in North Wales, its on 0800 132737. (Just in case anyone searches in future). They were very good and helped a little. I...

@digger Thanks for your marvellous suggestions. I actually have the crisis line for the local CMHT it was given to me after my first visit, it is just the letter about the discharge quotes that number if we required a reassessment by them within 3 years. So I suppose I stupidly thought I could...

Thankyou both for your responses. I have found the workbook you mentioned Suzetig on Amazon and I will see if we can get it (PJ controls the financials, so I will have to get him to look at it). I also am really the only one who is keeping it all together. The "visions" come through our 3 year...

Hi, I am fairly new here, and only recently been diagnosed as a multiple personality due to childhood trauma (Last March). We have been consciously multiple since Nov '16 but different parts of us have been around a lot longer. At the moment we are awaiting our first trauma therapy having been...

Hi BoN-bOn, I was raised by a narcissistic mother and it strikes me, what you describe is simply the coping skills you learnt to survive a relationship of that type. When I got married, I believed that all relationships worked like the one me and my mother had. The inquiry, the control and the...

Hi Fadeaway, I have only just joined this forum, but saw your post from earlier this year. I was diagnosed with a macro-prolactinoma in 2006. I too started on cabergoline (dostinex) and had similar effects to you. I take 4 tablets a week (due to the size of my tumour, 4cm when diagnosed). I can...

Thanks everyone for your kind welcomes. I know it is difficult to sometimes understand our particular type of disassociation. Living with the symptoms is quite difficult, great swathes of time lost, amnesia between parts and just simply switching between different people all make trying just to...

Thanks bellbird and joeylittle for your welcomes. I am fairly new to all this forum stuff so will tread carefully. My other main alter is not a very sharing type, so I suspect they will never post. But thank you joeylittle for the policy clarification, I did not know that and I try to ensure it...

Hi, I joined this forum a little while ago, before my diagnosis. I have read quite a few posts on here and a lot ring true to what we experience/deal with on a daily basis. I thought I would introduce ourselves first, to let you all know who we are::) In March this year we had a psychologist...
