Are you struggling with the effects of dissociative identity disorder?
Right now, as a result of dissociative identity disorder, you may be experiencing:
- Gaps in memory where you can’t recall significant periods of time or personal information
- Internal voices or dialogues between different parts of yourself with distinct personalities
- Feeling like an observer outside your body or as if the world around you isn’t real
- Finding evidence of actions you don’t remember taking, like purchases, messages, or arrangements
- Being called different names by people who insist they’ve interacted with “you” in ways you can’t recall
- Discovering clothing, possessions, or notes that don’t align with your preferences or handwriting
- Significant shifts in skills, preferences, opinions, or mannerisms that others notice but you experience as normal
Your dissociative identity disorder may be getting in the way of your life in these ways:
- Your daily functioning is disrupted by time loss and unpredictable switches between identity states
- Your relationships are complicated by others’ confusion about which “you” they’re interacting with
- Your career stability is threatened by inconsistent performance or attendance you can’t explain
- Your sense of self feels fragmented, making it difficult to form a coherent narrative of your life
- Your physical and emotional safety may be at risk when different parts have conflicting goals or needs
You’re wondering…
- How can I develop more awareness and communication between different parts of myself?
- Is integration the only goal of treatment, or can I learn to function with multiple identity states?
- How do I explain this condition to important people in my life without being misunderstood?
- Will I ever feel like a whole person with a continuous sense of self and memory?
- How can I ensure my safety and stability when I might not always be “present” to make decisions?
You’re longing for…
- Greater internal communication and cooperation between different parts of yourself.
- Continuity of memory that allows you to function without disruptive gaps in awareness.
- Understanding from others that acknowledges the reality and complexity of your experience.
- A sense of safety and control over when and how identity shifts occur.
- A coherent narrative of your life that integrates experiences across different identity states.
How we can help you.
