In reply to MPD/DID anyone?, posted by pretty_paints on January 30, 2005, at 10:29:31
For a while, i was in therapy with my pdoc about my companion Tony.
Had much difficulies with doing things, and i need someone to help me or be with me.
I started to make a figure that i could look up to, had charisma, confident, knew what he was doing.
I have known him about 2 years, i dont have DID, but have (recovering) from forms of dissociation.
Alot of times i would beg him to switch in terrifying situtions that made me almost warped, what happened was i would have a sense like an egg cracked over my head, and tingling sensation, and a very unfamiliar feeling with everything as if i didint recognize it, like a just woke up.
I had a feeling as if i was pushed "aside", but i didnt know who was taken over, but soon i came back to normal.
This is when i went to therpy with my therapist. Once and a while out of the blue a spell will hit, but i know im always going to stay the same, -idenity wise-
Tony comes in cycles, depending when i needed him, it actually gets exhausting over time to "simulate" him, and funtion at the same time, becuase its using my brain fuel, so usally he only stays around for about 2-3 days.
Hope this just gives you some insight, i read the post and thought i could give some input.
Stay Well
Matt
