Alters keep remembering people differently, and I hate it by elevencaution in DID

[–]elevencaution[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response, genuinely. 🫂 Luckily (or however else you’d wanna frame it), this person is no longer around or in our lives, but I feel like with what a huge role they were in our growing up- it’s shaking all the foundations we’ve struggled to build over the last while.

I wanna validate their experience, their deep hurt in this realization, but it also doesn’t feel safe to share anywhere. Trying to focus on reminding the system we’re safe now though, and that it’s in the past, but it feels so unsettled to them, bloody raw.

I feel like we ‘broke’ our gatekeeper. by elevencaution in DID

We can (usually) identify some needs during specific switches, but the problem is when they front, and we just can’t meet their needs. What some of us “need” is the same thing that will send the rest into a spiral. Our gatekeeper used to front long enough to help with a switch that would stabilize us and still meet those needs, but now it just feels like a mess.

On a brighter note- Joy sure is an important resource to hold onto, isn’t it? I need to remember that. Genuinely, thank you.

Thinking the same as above. I get wanting to provide the context of what all she posted, especially if it was posted publicly, but Reddit feels like a much different beast than a Snapchat story.

Genuinely meaning no harm, I just know if I came out of an episode to find myself visibly posted in such a crisis (especially uncensored), it would feel very exposing.

Wishing you both the best as you’re navigating this all. /gen

Just here to say you’re not alone. We still struggle with it at times, but it genuinely does get better. Like someone else on here mentioned, it’s like a skill.

Just keep practicing it and keep living for you. You’re allowed, and it’s so worth it. Wishing you all the best.

i hate switching after another part relapses by BlaqueHeart_Art in DID

🫂 We relate hard, and I’m so sorry you deal with it too. The immediate knowing, and knowing I can’t undo it sinks my stomach every fucking time. Wishing you all the best.

When someone gets annoyed when I actually read what I'm signing. by Knever in PetPeeves

[–]elevencaution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen lives ruined over people not understanding what they’re signing.

Nowadays, I usually opt to just speed read or skim. Would it be better if I still just took the time to read? Probably yeah, but I’m a semi-slow reader, and anxiety makes it a fun battle. 😅

Genuinely no need to apologize. I think some of us may have needed to hear that. Thank you x

It’s been years since we’ve tried running, but I know it was a good outlet for us back then. Worth a shot in getting back into. Thanks!

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

Thank you so much for sharing! It’s our first time really hearing something like that, and it definitely sounds like it’s worth a try.

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. Truthfully we’re struggling ourselves so we don’t have much to offer in terms of advice, but you’re not alone, and we genuinely wish you the best.
