Howdie. Let me introduce myself. I'm demy. And kriss. And makenzi. I have a split personality. All three girls, conviniently. I don't know why, but I have three personalities. My 'sister' that trolls is Kriss, my beautiful 'poet' is Makenzi, and the somewhat normal girl with a knack for anime art is yours trully, Demy.
I don't know much about my other personalities. I just go off what others say. My dad and mim don't think there's anything wrong. They say I'm just imagining. They say I can't have a split personality.
But my old therapist (we moved) said I have one.
what do I do? The others aren't dangerous, but it's weird. I have no idea what's going on, it's like, for thr time I'm kriss or makenzi, I don't exist. Only that personality. I don't remember what happens when they are on, but it could end badly.
Is there something I can do?

Congrats! I congratulate you for the sole reason that 'out' DIs on this forum are an incredible minority and it takes a good amount of bravery. Yes, there are an amazingly large amount of us on VT, just not all of us wish to share this information. If you want to talk further, I'm just a VM/PM away.

Well, getting a therapist where you're currently living is my suggestion. Also know therapists can't diagnose. You may want to try seeing a psychologist. I can't really walk you through it myself, but I do know there are methods to practice control, holding on when you feel yourself slipping and even further manipulation of it. I can help you with grounding techniques though, which may initially be less direct but can lead to a lot of self-discovery once you master that.

It's absolutely great you are open to your parents about it, though. They can keep an eye on it since yours I assume aren't co-existent. See, not all people with DID have the same sort of barriers, but I'd wager most do because the reason the alters are there in the first place in most cases is so the host is being protected while the alter takes the blows. What I did initially when my barriers were quite strong, I would have ongoing post-it note conversations within the front cover of my journal. Try it. Leave a note somewhere they'll probably see it and see if one of them takes the time to reply. Ultimately, the goal is to get everyone to work together for a common goal, whether it's treatment or just to function well in life with each other, but that can be a bit hard if you can't 'hear' them, so I recommend exchanging notes.
