CW: talk of suicide im struggling really hard with my dissociation tonight. whoever "i" happen to be, i dont really know, but i guess ill just keep saying "i." two days ago i passed the two year anniversary of my first suicide attempt. and i dont know if its somebody present causing these feelings, if its me thats causing it, or if im just having really bad flashbacks because the body remembers what the mind forgets, but i cant wrap my head around the fact that its been two years. i just... feel like im still there right now. i keep having to close my eyes because every time i open them, i expect to see my old bedroom and its so jarring that im not there. my whole head just hurts. i cant wrap my mind around where i am or who i am or the fact that i have different pets. like, logically i think a part of my mind knows all of that but its like... almost like a fever dream i guess. and every time i close my eyes im there again. and i cant figure out where my mom is (i moved out) or why my girlfriend isnt texting me (we broke up almost two years ago) or why i sound so different. its so weird and its giving me a migraine and im so confused. i dont know what to do. just... go to bed i guess? hope it passes? how can i focus on any of that when i feel like i can barely remember the last two years of my life? i dont even know what to do besides cry except i cant even do that because im frozen, nothing will come out of me, no words or sounds or anything. i feel like a broken vhs tape.

      Hey.. I know that feeling.. of feeling like a broken VHS tape... I'm guessing you are a newer system.. and I don't want to assume but judging by what you said... I'm guessing you haven't really gotten to the point where the alters or parts present themselves.. or at least I can't tell by looking at text.. and hey.. idk your name.. but I know what it feels like when you live alone and you have no idea what is happening to you.. you are scared.. you forget things.. at some points the dissociative symptoms become 2 much.. I know what that feels like.. here are my suggestions. I suggest talking to a therapist.. if you don't have 1 get 1. Talk to them everyday.. even if it's just through text.. I also suggest 'not living alone' go to a friend's house. Or go to a place where you are not alone and you feel safe.. but DO NOT. Go back to a place where you took in trauma.. I'm thinking that bedroom.. is not a good place. And hey.. talk to people like me.. it doesn't have to be me.. just someone that supports you.. .. you do not have to go through this alone. ..but most of all.. do not fight it.. this is happening.. and as scary as it is.. you can't change that. But your gonna make it! If you get the urge to dress masculine dress that way.. if you get the urge to wear all black.. wear all black.. one of the ways I descoverd Rowan my first alter in my system. Is because I got urges to dress masculine. And he wanted to show it off. So we did.. we walked through downtown Atlanta. I thought am i trans.. then I got the urge to dress non conforming.. then I thought is this what being gender fluid feels like... no . It was actually Sam.. you see these were new alters that were saying hi.. it's there way of introducing themselves.. my pms are always open! Feel free if your comfortable. Im just a nerdy med student lol. .. And remember. You are NOT alone and you do not.. have to face this alone. .. please stay safe!! ❤️❤️
