@Fluttershy1 At times they do, but not always.
I was really scared at first, but I’ve worked very slowly with mine. It’s different for everyone, but being respectful with mine( mostly) has helped. I get it wrong often. Remember they are there to help you, they can get confused, stuck in time, and scared.
Do you know why you are crying?

@Maggie - I'm crying because I'm scared...
I have 3 safe alters then 1 unsafe one that can be really powering sometimes 😭

@Fluttershy1 I can understand why you are scared. 3 safe Alters is good.
Do you have anyone else at home with you apart from your alters? Are you safe?

@Maggie - I live with Mum & my half brother and they are home at the moment.
But they don't understand my mental health. I have 2 child safe alters. 1 teenage safe alter.
Then 1 teenage unsafe alter. I work reallly well with my safe alters 🙂

@Fluttershy1 It’s really hard work, but you are doing well. Very few understand the complications of complex conditions.
You have probably already mentioned it, but are you working with a therapist or health team? Obviously you have as you have been diagnosed, but atm, I mean.
I’m pleased you are not home alone. Even though you family don’t understand, they are present, sometimes that’s all they can do.
