Thank you so much! I was trapped in psychiatry for 26 years and told I had neurochemical imbalances and bad genes, and that I would be on drugs and in and out of hospitals for the rest of my life. Never mind all the childhood trauma, abuse, neglect. Thankfully I started meditating and reconnected with all the voices silenced by ECT and drugs. Today I am 8 years+ free of psychiatry and putting all the pieces of the puzzles back together. How did I quit psychiatry? The voices/alters told me I could do it, and I believed them! Bravo to Amber et al!
Hey, I'm 56 and just been diagnosed. I'm still figuring it out. It's nice to see a more grounded expression of this by someone instead of the crazy world of DID on utube at the moment. I try not to judge but sometimes it feels just 'off' somehow. These channels can really confuse you. I relate far more to what you are describing. Thankyou 🙂 I work with my 'other mes' in a similar way you do. For years I have also been gathering tools and they have been slowly making themselves known to me. It is described to me by one as chip, chip, chipping away 😄. There are ones that just dont speak but I'm very aware they are there. The more covert mes are quite funny and have great insight into what's going on. I'm in Australia and trying to get assistance so I can heal because we are too unstable to work in any consistent capacity. It's extremely hard to get the right help. So you have to try and work with yourselves. I really hope that more awareness comes soon. The CTAD clinic on utube is a great resource. Happy writing and best wishes to you all 🤗.
Thank you for watching my conversation with @DID.we.write. and sharing your own experience -- I hope you're able to get the support and assistance you need soon!
I knew a woman who relived much of her repressed traumas using psychedelics. She mapped out her mind. She suffered more than any other person I ever met. She was very strong but ultimately just isolated herself and won’t reach out. Psychedelics are incredibly powerful. But not to be taken alone.
Well done to Amber, Mia and Berlou for this - I could honestly listen to you all speak for hours! Thank you for being so open and sharing your experiences and being so honest and frank about how confusing it all can be - from one very confused system to another, we totally get it, and as horrible as this disorder can be to live with, it's always nice knowing we're not in this alone and we're not the only ones confused and struggling to make sense of everything.
🥹 aw fanks 🤣 yeah B has a slightly softer voice and that actually isn’t Amber’s voice haha she was Caris, Stef and Pen at least too at the time 🤣🤣🤣 she was basically patched together for the podcast hahaha literally a one time person 😂🤷♀️ we watched again and can really hear how it’s not Amber lol. And when I’m talking at the end dunno if it’s just “Amber” close but I’m def more grown up than usual haha. Fanks so much I really appreciate your comment and you all! 🥰🥹 Mia obv! 🦄💕🌈
We are a diagnosed DID system this is a good interview. Thanks for sharing the content and giving people the right information on DID with someone with experience with DID awesomeness ❤ our alters have a Facebook accounts because they write as well.
Fanks! Yeah we just watched again and we def miss a lot of info but I guess we show a bit of our truth. Cool what do you all like to write? We’re out of the habit I miss it but times are hard 😓 Mia 🦄💕🌈
I was officially diagnosed in late 2021!!! I am 32 now. So, i was 30 at the time. I find it difficult in the UK 🇬🇧 with the NHS as just not being believed. Although i have a diagnosis, i am being referred to the special Autism group/ section/ department. I have also been told by the NHS that i just have a "colourful imagination" They just tell me that D.I.D. is very rare, so it must be Autism! Terrible, really! Diagnosed 2 years ago, still no therapy for this issue. Im still no wiser for what i actually have... Its great to see orher systems! And helps clarify that i am not ok, that i do need help, and that im not lying. But hey, have to work with what we arw given. The NHS so far has been awful for mental health.
