DID I really messed things up

Yesterday was yesterday. Not a good day. I have DID. And many other diagnoses such as borderline. My young parts are experiencing a variety of emotions at their age. Yesterday the other parts were out of control. Besides self harming, they had little to no hope. Like giving up. It's scary for the rest. I reached out to my T Thursday afternoon and she returned my call but I missed it. The mistake made- emailed her telling her briefly what was going on. In the end although nice, I was reminded email is only to confirm appts etc, not this. I understand why. But, some parts are impulsive, and others are desperate for validation. I knew I wasn't supposed to do that. I should just remove it. I'm worried and embarrassed to see my t again. Years ago, same thing happened. I loose control. Feel so isolated. Like I don't fit in with the world. Spent all day dissociated and ashamed. To make matters worse, my marriage is crumbling and I received the notice for the upcoming trial of sexual assult against my daughter. What made my world change two years ago....and I can barely function..
 
It’s going to be ok, really it is. One of your parts stepped over your T’s boundary regarding emails, and she reminded you of her boundary. If you’re embarrassed about it? Tell her, “This is embarrassing for me...”. Communication is so important.

It can be really frustrating when parts do the wrong thing. It’s like having to apologise because your kid just did something heinous at a shopping mall or something. But these things happen. It’s important to be able to acknowledge it and then forgive yourself for being human (and a human with DID no less).

If you’re having trouble with your parts being in distress and acting out at the moment, maybe now would be a good time to talk to your T about some activities or things you could do to bring a bit of calm back to the system.
