I still can't remember anything, still can't sleep, still can't find things, am still depressed and having self-harm issues, still anxious and worried and VERY FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't take much more of this chaos, and neither can my boyfriend, who is by the way the first person I've ever had a relationship with that even tries to understand. Life really sucks these days. Could the lack of progress be because my therapist only has time to see us about 2x a month? Its hard to make changes when you don't have the skills or knowledge about how to do so or even know what needs to be changed. HELP!

Hi there...usually 2x a month should be pretty good, but it depends also on what you are talking about during those sessions. You could be talking to each other or talking to the T for a billion times a month, yet, if you dont talk about how to progress, you wont make any progress.

(((beadlady))) I am replying to this a bit later, but am wondering how you are doing.
Dissociation begins to stop working as well as you age, so I doubt the issue with become better without therapy. So where will you be if you don't go to therapy? (You'll be farther along if you do.)
The first thing that can help you is to improve communication between your "selves." Begin a journal, and make a written note that any of you can write or draw on a page in it. You can also write things that bother you, and the way you need things done.
Losing things is common with DID. Make a conscious effort to FIND those things you are missing, and I'll bet they will "appear" before long. Some part of you knows just where that something is!
Good wishes

thanks Clyde.....don't really have a clue what is talked about during sessions with T because don't think "i'm" the one who shows up ... like sometimes i might remember getting on or off the trans. bus, once in a great while i might remember parts of what was talked about for a couple days and then its gone.......BUT never the whole thing from the time i leave to when i get back...
the parts i remember range from bad remembories from when little... to.. why me and Don can't seem to get along now to ....u get the idea..........
