Having alters is wonderful and all, until you’ve lost three things in thirty minutes and can’t STAY ON TRACK TO FIND THEM!!! #iwouldlosemyheadifitwasn’tattached #losingthingswillbetheendofme

As the alter with the most denial, changing speech from “me” to “we” has been so difficult. I am trying so hard to accept this. I’m being told that it’s real, I know these things are happening, but the acceptance is SO DIFFICULT. #did #dissociativeidentity #ossd

Filing cabinets - Our Memory System. Inside our brain, there are different files that hold different alter’s memories. Some are locked, but as alters connect, it is helping us to understand and communicate more easily. #pluralsky #DID #Dissociation #mentalhealth

Physiotherapist: “So last time you told me about this traumatizing event that happened to you all.” Alter who is co-fronting with no clue about what happened: “Wait WHAT!!?!” Unlocking memories within the system can be a fun time. #Pluralsky #DID #DissociativeIdentityDisorder

Being a Male alter in a system where nearly everyone else is female, often means that I will front and immediately panic because there are suddenly acrylic nails. 😆💅

Just living life every day wondering what surprise purchase will be in the bank account next. Recently had to work a “stuffed animal” limit into the budget because of a certain alter that is too convincing when it comes to toys. What I have to do for this brain…. #pluralsky #DID #brainsarefun

Sometimes it feels like my brain is the opening village scene from Beauty and the Beast. One moment there is a beautiful chorus of villagers singing in harmony. But the next moment, everyone is running around screaming for eggs and bread. #Pluralsky #DID #OSDD #funny

We relate 100% to this! It’s one thing to agree on change, but then to actually make it happen, not a quick process. 😅

Part of the DID experience that we struggle with, is coming to collective agreements about large emotional decisions. There are so many feelings and opinions. The Simply Plural app polls really help with making majority decisions on things. But sometimes everyone just won’t agree. #DID #PluralSky

It’s a struggle to be a functioning member of society (aka my work place) today. I wish the world stopped when the brain stopped. 😂 It would be a lot easier to cope with people who don’t know all of the alters that exist in this brain. #undercover #hidinginplainsight #ifyouknowyouknow #Pluralsky

Psychotherapist: So what is your end goal in therapy? Host: To co-exist happily with all of my alters. Psychotherapist: Ok perfect. That is what I would love for us to work towards. Alter with trust issues: SHE HATES US!! Healing takes time, pals 🤦‍♀️ #Pluralsky #DID #healing #OSDD #therapy

In the middle of a conversation:  *Dissociates* Alter who has no idea what’s is going on: “I’m so sorry, could you please repeat what you just said?” #pluralsky

Some days it feels like I’m being thrown around inside my own head. I’m here until I’m not. I ground and then take off again. It’s as if the brain has a well trained astronaut team but no contact with Mission Control. I just want to land. sincerely, A tired space cadet. #DID #pluralsky

#DID really has been a journey. And when I say a journey, I should actually say a mission. A mission where you have kids, teens, and adults all trying to share their opinions and you end up never leaving the house. 😂 #dissociativeidentitydisorder #pluralsky #OSDD #plurallife #removingstigma

All of this is so relatable. 😮‍💨 We also compare it to being like a computer and call this our “buffering” moments. It’s so frustrating especially when there are different opinions on what to say, how to say it, and if it should even be said it in the first place. 😫

Yes! Denial was so hard to cope with in the beginning. And still deal with some now, even tho it’s much better! Having parts who know it is real vs parts who desperately don’t want to accept? Would not wish that mental turmoil on anyone. 😮‍💨

For others with #dissociativeidentitydisorder, just curious, how do you navigate littles in day to day adult life? For us: a stuffed animal in my bag and a small stimming toy (a squishy bear or fidget block) to be prepared for all events. 🧸 And a favourite - a kid’s music playlist! 🎵 #pluralsky

Tips for #DID systems in office jobs: - Work notebook that always stays next to the work station. 📓 - Sticky notes for important things that could be missed. 📒 - Outlook Calendar to make tasks throughout the day that can easily be followed by all. 🗓️ - Headphones to block external noise 🎶

1. Being able to find a way to navigate daily life that is a good fit for everyone! 👏 2. One of us is a real “let’s figure this out” type. This is great but can be a struggle when it comes to triggers and anxiety. Therapists advice was: “Don’t push forward without permission. Ask.” Game changer!

We have specific jobs that certain parts enjoy doing more than others. For instance, one alter really likes driving so they are responsible for driving to and from work while another alter is very detail oriented and enjoys working so they are responsible for our job. Etc etc.

Yes THIS. 👏 It’s so frustrating when this truly isn’t “blessing” for anyone who has DID. Trauma is not a joke - especially prolonged trauma. It’s taken years to properly navigate this brain with the help of countless mental health professionals and that’s not even mentioning the cost. 😮‍💨

As a body with #DissociativeIdentityDisorder, there are many times where social media posts can take ages to type out. 😫 Due to switching or co-fronting with differing opinions or ideas,it can often result in needing a break or going back to it later.🧠 #somanydrafts #draftssavemylife #DID #pluralsky

100% understandable. We have had a similar experience where we went to see a therapist and had a negative experience. This resulted in the memory being blocked. But we now see a psychotherapist which has been a game changer! ✨ I hope you are all well, now! 💞 I

Navigating #DID after years of #spiritualabuse has required a great amount of communication and inner work. Learning to find balance when an alter enjoys religious themes, while still being considerate of triggers, continues to be divided by a fine line. A work in progress, you could say! 📝🧠

We have a plan where certain alters do a specific job in the day to day. One of us really enjoys driving. Due to this, he is often the one who fronts as soon as we get in the car and hold the steering wheel. It took time and a lot of internal communication but this plan does wonders for us!

I work! It’s required a lot of internal management as the line of work is very detail oriented. So it’s been a combination of trial+error and figuring out who can do what task the easiest. -Jamie.

Really relate to this! ♥️ Not sure if you have ever used the app Simply Plural, but it lets you create a poll or a message board. If this internal screaming happens, I go into the message board and do a “tell me your feelings” poll so that if someone is struggling, they can communicate it easier!
