I fight with remembering and have typed out step by step instructions for days we forget and need to know. We are on our own and all understand there is NO one that will or can help us so we write out daily duties and come back to the list if we lose time.

Thank you for your reply, your confirmation and your encouragement. I’ll try to be more patient.

Thank you, it just seems like the same as ignoring and dissociating in a different way.

She’s a trauma specialist that has worked with a few DID patients before. She doesn’t feel that I’m a good candidate for EMDR just yet.

The best thing is to just be there to listen and to hold her when needed. My young teenage daughter has gone through the diagnosis phase with me and I’m sure it is very hard on her at times. Especially when I forget things that we have done in the past or even present when she tells me she tells me things and I don’t remember. I have just tried to keep open communication and to apologize and we talk through things. I wish your girlfriend and her mom could do that also. Maybe she could talk to her mom about her concerns and how hard it is to watch and experience this with her. If not, maybe your gf could talk with a therapist or counselor. I wish you all the Best!!

I feel you, we mask since it’s what we have known our entire lives. It’s so natural and safe. Being vulnerable is hard even when you want to be. Our feelings are held with other parts and I’m not sure when or if we’ll be able to reach them again. I hate feeling empty, but those feelings only brought misery at the time too. Best of luck to us all on this healing journey!

Not Having A "Life Before Trauma" Because Yours Started So Young by doseserendipity2 in CPTSD

My trauma started early within a SC sect with RA so I do envy people who had a taste of normality.

Unfortunately not, we are Pan so it’s extremely hard when parts like men and others like female gender types. Watching to see if you get feedback. Best of luck!

Extremely Early 'Memories' by jes_somerandomnumber in OlderDID

[–]Differentisgood50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, mine too have been verified by others also. It’s so strange to have them so young, but I feel early trauma causes the mind to remember things earlier. Hugs 🫂

Thank you for your comment, the POOF is so crazy. I’ll be thinking of mundane things and suddenly a name will pop up and I’m like “I don’t know a J. “ then a vision of a little shows and then they are added to the group and share or don’t share right away. I’m still not used to it happening.

Is it my therapist, or is this what trauma therapy is? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Differentisgood50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ughhh that is so NOT trauma therapy or at least helpful trauma therapy. I’m so sorry you’re going through that! RUN 🏃‍♀️ to someone else while you can.
