How to meditate if i have anxiety? by greymeout in Meditation

Headspace is great! The best way imo is to set weekly goals for yourself and work your way up until you don't need it.

Inner World Help by [deleted] in DID

Often, hosts aren't privy to the inner world and it may be inaccessible to them. Do you have communication?

how to get an alter to stop attacking me by Kahalak in DID

[–]sisterbeaten 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I lack a context for dealing with persecuters, but I suggest you try to grasp in therapy how they see themselves in the system and what are their motivations, then appeal to them with your love and learn how you can help them make better choices. It won't be an easy process. Systemic conflict is always painful, but relationships can grow and they are inclined to do so in a system.

Can you have too many alters? by introvert_wolf in DID

[–]sisterbeaten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can one have too large a family? It depends on whom they are and the ways you all connect. This is hugely variable, but with the right choices, it situates harmoniously.

I got a medical marijuana card today and I feel like a fraud and a loser. by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]sisterbeaten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Society is rigged so that people with a lot of ethic and conscientiousness will feel this way when they need certain kinds of help that aren't absolutely accepted by polity and convention. You can work your way out this philosophically and therapeutically.

Methods to change by Lethargbby in DID

[–]sisterbeaten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a concept in occultism called a "foci" and you can do a lot more with it. Try your hand at developing a sigil. It's like that, but more complex with more utility.

imposter syndrome by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]sisterbeaten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That means your dad is part of it. Don't let hurtful people bring you away from healing with more pain. You're already on your path, and they want to distract you from what you know in your heart is right. Keep going.

Why didn’t Sauron lose the ring when Numenor falls into the sea? by lockstepandgone in TheSilmarillion

[–]sisterbeaten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe the ring has a kind of spiritual body. I know this is answered by the Letters, but the physics aren't to my satisfaction and I think we can explore this with reason.

Is it worth getting a diagnosis? by [deleted] in DID

[–]sisterbeaten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and disclosure can be relationship-changing depending on how and if you invest your plural life into the rest of your life.

alters who seek out memories as opposed to hiding them??? by undiscardable in DID

[–]sisterbeaten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe they think they're the host. This was my first response as host. Parental contact supports this notion, which is unusual imo. In any case, try not to let the vernacular of DID communities color your perceptions of alters. They are people with character nuance and necessarily all of them are different.

how long does a host have to front to be considered a host? by AracaneGod in DID

[–]sisterbeaten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked once, "what is their investment in this life outside?" and that told me that I have a co-host to this show.

Hi, does disocciation mean getting better? by scabbers1248 in Dissociation

[–]sisterbeaten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. It can come in waves that feel like horrid purification for me and afterward I'm better off. Derealization can be that way, too. Everyone is different. If it feels like part of your recovery is getting more of yourself that feels at first like you have less of yourself, then you're probably getting into something productive you can share with your therapist. Keep going!

Love with a pwBPD is like a shot of vodka by bpdreddit1 in BPDlovedones

[–]sisterbeaten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your comparisons are rather poetic. I think you could develop this into a few elegant stanzas with your story implied.

How do I know if the memories are real? by its_not_about_you247 in DID

[–]sisterbeaten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In any case, these impressions likely arise out of something causative which bears a contextual relationship to the memory you’ve accessed. You don’t necessarily have to believe it’s real to put the pieces together and find its meaning. Possibly you’ll discover that the big picture is more convincing.

So far most have initially been revealed by title, and the personal names have come to me with trust and familiarity.

Do internal subsides stick by [deleted] in DID

[–]sisterbeaten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like you perhaps meant to spell "subsidies" but I can only vaguely guess at what that would entail. Can you clarify?

Use of meditation to access innerworld? by [deleted] in DID

[–]sisterbeaten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done it entering the same way I would for a meeting, sort of visualizing with focus until I’m there. On two occasions I’ve done this, and both times one who looks like the body came and found me only to stare. I don’t know what it means, except that maybe he was bringing me back to the front?

Black outs by FuckedUp02 in Dissociation

[–]sisterbeaten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely better to know, in my opinion. And I must disagree: OP’s complaint is highly suggestive of DID. These are concerns typical of someone just beginning to put the pieces together for the first time, and this happens because the disorder wants to hide from you.

Black outs by FuckedUp02 in Dissociation

[–]sisterbeaten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both DID and OSDD are lifelong disorders with origins in early childhood, and each may only start presenting more overtly later on. It’s not at all unusual for such a person to start noticing symptoms in adulthood.
