@erinrackham: I genuinely don’t know the best way to deal with feeling overstimulated by your own mind like this because this is a very new dynamic for me, but my psychiatrist suggested I try a low dose of Gabapentin as needed to see if it can downregulate some of the panic signals without silencing anyone in my system. 🤷🏼‍♀️ **Just to be clear—alcohol is not a great solution for dealing with overstimulation. (And it’s not even an option for someone who can’t control their drinking, of course.) It can often wreak havoc on a dissociated system after the fact because it essentially forces certain alters to “go to sleep” without their consent and that rarely ends well. 😬 And, anecdotally, cannabis seems to either silence or increase communication between alters—depending on the intention behind the use. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #dissociativeidentitydisorder #DID #dissociation #overstimulation #autistic #pathologicaldemandavoidance #Nervoussystemdisorders

Unpopular opinion here....Substances.. an attempt to help and heal... for some. I truly believe this. Not to run away from reality, in my opinion, but to actually be able to be present in our reality.

just came across a vid about how meditation doesn't work for us ND folk - what does quiet things for us is hyper focus. Whatever absorbs your focus makes the other parts quiet down. Reading books was my recovery space. Good luck finding some peace!

that's scary! my cousin has a very complex system and she said it sounds like a gym in a school where all the kids are screaming at once, or a school bus🥺

I can see how the personalities I have in here were created and the needs they serve. I don't often have control of when they come out but I can always sit and watch and understand the why.

Healing and integrating is so much more disorienting and difficult than I ever imagined. Doing it while the world is on fire adds a fun touch.

It’s so hard to be so self aware and to intellectualize so much of your existence ❤️✨ I identify with so much of your content. I have no answers, just solidarity. Love and light

I feel this. There are some days when all of my parts want to be talking nonstop. It’s extremely overwhelming and overstimulating. 😅

I have a front area and a back area. and when they all start to get overwhelming I ask them to go to the back to continue having their conversations and whatever because it's too much for me.

I've had many days where I am nonverbal just from being drained by the overstimulating internal conversation or noise

Well, im going to continue to appreciate the dissociation, bc i have a feeling integration w/o support (esp accidental) is what's causing my current overwhelm.
