In reply to Missed appt with T :( Anyone with DID to help?, posted by kerria on August 18, 2005, at 17:19:10
Some day Kerria, you will be strong enough to let them go and be whole again. You can do it! I realize this is not an easy task, but I am confident that one day you will be able to do for yourself what they are doing for you now. I know youve had a tough life or you wouldnt have created your alters. You created them when you were younger, at a time when you so despirately needed them. They served their purpose and got you through those horrible times. Today you are in a different place and time. Do they still fill that same purpose for you or are they working against you at this point in your life? I have an excellent book for you to read. It is called First Person Plural, by Camaron ? It is his story of how he found out he had DID and how he worked through integrating over 20 alters. During his recovery he managed to save his marraige and family life and also go on to get his PHD in psychology. He didnt realize he had the dx until midlife when he started losing time... It all stemmed back to his childhood traumas. Has some journal entries in there from different altars. He only focuses on 4 of the 20, the main ones. It is an incredible story with a happy ending. Good book, the only book I have read more than once.
