DID All things did - dissociative identity disorder : experiencing feelings only when in other identity

I was wanting know what other DID"ers experiences have when expressing feelings.

I am frustrated that when I function in my, so called, "base" identity I feel absoultly nothing. I walk around feeling like a dead person just existing in a body.

My T has noticed that I only get in touch with my feelings when I dissociate into another identity - particularly my little girl.

Do others have this experience as well?
 
Hi hun... I have times where I feel like a dead person as you describe... I'm not real sure that this is just my "core" identity as I do have feelings. However, I know that some alters carry specific emotions such as Rage... as her name suggests, holds all the rage which I actually don't feel.

I think that in times of severe depersonalization, I feel absolutely dead inside. Like I am just a body moving and doing things but not really alive...

Perhaps it is a case of your core identity in a state of depersonalization and not just not feeling anything at all ever?

Feelings are tricky with DID I've noticed... but thanks for bringing this up. Interesting topic!
