Sorry, friends.... Fangs, a multiples brain is normal and healthy. I do take Lexapro, which is an "anti-anxiety" med, or so my therapist called it. I've been going to therapy every week since 2001 and now I know how to work with my alters, thank god. Instead of having extended "fugue states" as I had many times int he past, my alters only come to the front for very brief periods. Nothing scarey, I think they almost do that just to remind me they are there actually. You make your lunch, walk away, go back and your lunch is gone. You are the only one in the house. You know, stuff like that. "At least you're lucky to be diagnoised with DID." I am VERY grateful that I have DID instead of other conditions. Actually, when I look at it practically, it's a big plus to have alters. My therapist said that most men think that having a multiple for their partner is very special... and considering one woman with alters can be very close to having an entire group of different sex partners.... *laughing hey, I'm not complaining! And neither is my Master! Thanks for the health advice, I've been doing that for about a month now and I feel great. My Master and I are going to be relocating soon and after we move, I'll be going to a big network of DID workshops that are all run by psychologists, many of them who themselves have DID. Some of those workshops are for married couples, and all of them are of different aspects of this. I'm actually not having too much trouble with my alters at this time, except 2 defiant ones. All the others just want 'time out' and many of them feel lonely. So, I'm doing ok. Thanks for the best wishes... *smile ~ zay
