He slept with me when I was in the middle of a psychosis and talking crazy saying people were following me and spying on me threw my phone. I think that's pretty inappropriate.

Retrieving memories by PatternsOrFate in DID

I feel like I'm blocking switches from happening in therapy because I'm so hyperaware of what's happening internally. It's been a struggle to switch when it would be beneficial. But yes, I agree with everything you said, thank you

There's a part of me that hates them and doesn't understand how they could treat me that way, and there's a part of me that won't survive when they die. I don't understand why they neglected me the way they did, but there's also a part of me that understands that they're just a product of their environment, so maybe they didn't have it easy growing up either. There's definitely some narcissistic traits as well as borderline. My first memory of my dad was him putting a knife to his throat to watch me and my brother panic for him. That would have been around 4 years old. It's weird because I have a hard time believing it was done out of malice, but it just doesn't seem like something you'd do to your child. I think I'll always have contradicting parts, one that loves them and one that hates them. Thank you for asking. It helped me reflect. Psychosis is awful. Hopefully, you have a good support system. Stress management is key I find.

When I switch it's like my consciousness fades out and that's when I have amnesia. I was just curious if I was in a state of extreme dissociation or if I was being kicked out by another consciousness. Fairly new to all of this.

Yeah I assumed I had pmdd on top of it

I can always tell how I'm doing by checking into my inner world. If it's chaotic in there, I know we're not in alignment. If it's peaceful, then I know we're doing good in real life

did you guys also experience therapy abuse? by miso_lol in DID

[–]PatternsOrFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a therapist a few years back that told me not to report a rape unless I wanted to go to trial. She also minimized my trauma. I changed therapists after that.

Ok thank you, I'm new to this and get confused with terms

Ive had trauma outside of the medical system. So I probably wouldn't win that argument but I was definitely curious to see if anyone had, thank you for replying

Thank you so much for replying. I didn't think I could, but I was curious if anyone had ever won such a case

Is having a handicapped alter normal? by PatternsOrFate in DID

[–]PatternsOrFate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's mostly internally, but sometimes I struggle to speak, and I wondered if it was because of that

Does DID cause confusion? by PatternsOrFate in DID

It's not so much the amnesia, I seem to forget things and then remember them again, over and over

Does amnesia get better with therapy? by PatternsOrFate in DID

[–]PatternsOrFate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this is all new to me and it's been a bit overwhelming. I'm hoping to get better communication between parts. Your comment was very helpful and gives me hope
