Help me. I think I'm suffering from DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder).

[quote:En Sof:MV8yMTMxMjQ5XzM2MDAzMDI0XzRGQjJDMzMy] [quote:Andy 33832045:MV8yMTMxMjQ5XzM1OTk3MjgyX0NCMkZFNDkw] And this is just about me and my brother, I didn't mention that my mother died also when I was five. D.I.D. now that I look at it, is exactly what I was going through leading up to and after I found out the truth. I was trying to deal with an identity that was trapped as a child. This boy that could never come to grip with reality and constantly escaped through weed, video games, books, movies, GLP. Oddly enough though, I learned a few techniques from GLP. It helped me understand why my life had no direction, like a ship at sea with no compass (hehe, Firefly) and that i never would find my compass as long as I was this boy. Then I had a revelation one night with a reaccuring dream. The dream started as an old memory of getting lost in a grocery store when i was four and I cried and cried until my Mother came and found me. And I had that same dream for about a month straight. Then one day it dawned on me that I could save myself and that night it was same dream, but instead of my mother finding me, it was me. My adult self. And I took my child self in hand and told him that everything was going to be alright. That WE were going to be alright. And since then, I've found a path to enlightenment where the other side of me (my darkside, the child) is as much a part of me as my adult self and WE face the trials of my life together now, allowing me to finally move forward. [/quote] Andy, Many blessings to you, my friend and Brother! Thank you for sharing your story and your walk with me. It was very encouraging, though heartbreaking, yet nonetheless rewarding. See, the reason I felt such a resonance with DID is because, like you said, part of me never grew up out of that Childs Mindset and that is the dominant 'Alter'. However through my early adolescent years and early adulthood I developed a significant internet addiction and with the anonymonity that it brought I created all sorts of different identities for different purposes (Catfish ring a bell? LOL!) and I'm not proud of it but I began to create all these different fantasy lives inside my head and many of them took on a life of their own as I made friends that ended up becoming real life acquaintainces too. This, I feel, created more subpersonalities and alters within my subconscious. I have since done away with most of them and now I really don't spend too much time online (not as much as I used to!). Anyway, it was very comforting hearing your story and it means a lot to me that you took time to help me by sharing. Love and Light, MM [/quote]
