DID Parts and drawings

[Punky143]

I can't draw and don't really like to either. However, the angry ones inside do. When those others draw, I know I'm holding the pencil but from there nothing. Yesterday during session, despite much hesitation those dark drawings were shared with her. A lot of the writing has to do with how much those parts dislike her and to sit there knowing a little of what I know she looked at, made others so sad. Like others who've shared before, there are parts within who obsess about death and various detailed entries talk about how. We needed to let at least one person know because its so exhausting to carry it alone. I sent an email at 1am letting my T know"we're" sorry. I know she understands but still. Do other people experience similar things?

I don't have much time to respond, but I wanted to say yes. I have experienced similar things. Maybe not on the same level, but I have definitely had parts tell my therapist they hate her and even had one literally run away during therapy. I share my writing a lot because it is the only way some things can get communicated.

Same here. Can never get out verbally but have always journaled. Thank u

I write and I draw and I also have parts that write and draw on their own. I've never had the courage to let the T know some parts hate her but I think maybe some part already told her anyway while I wasn't fully there. For me sharing those drawings is awful because she wants to talk about them and I don't really know what to say. They're just there. So yeah, I also know what you're talking about and you're not alone in this. Hang on in there, you're talking and sharing and not keeping it all inside for you alone to carry and that's a good thing.

One of my more horrifying moments was when I learned that one of my parts told my therapist that they didn't like therapy, that it felt bad and scary to be there.

Some of them also make drawings that are really scary. I haven't shown my therapist yet because they make me too nervous (really violent and scary stuff) but I just wanted to let you know you aren't alone.
