DID Tiredness after switching

[AlishaK]

Hi guys,
im new here and had a question about switching. i notice that after switching to an alter and being in a dissociative state, i feel extremely tired and sleepy.sometimes i feel so tired that i just need to lay down no matter where i am to rest. is this normal? have you experienced this? how do you cope?

YES!!! I do experience this. I also feel foggy and have a headache a lot of the time. When my little parts are out they often have very intense flashbacks that exhaust my body as well as my mind, but I find that I'm sometimes even sleepy when flashbacks don't happen. I cope by just moving along. I'm a single mom, so living life in a state of exhaustion is sort of the norm for me ;-)
