So as a child, I went through a lot of trauma which caused the Dissociative Identity Disorder to form. I won't go into the traumas I have experienced on this post, but maybe at a later date. I was unaware of any alters until the age of 16 at which point I was in denial. The more I tried to push it down the more problems the disorder caused. I was officially diagnosed 6 years ago and it got to the point where I could no longer ignore it. I started working on my communication with my alters and it was not easy to get used to. Thankfully, I am at a point in my journey that while I still have problems in relation to the DID, I have learned and am learning adequate coping mechanisms to handle it. Additionally, the communication between me as the Primary Host and everyone else has greatly improved since being diagnosed. I know we still have a long way to go as a system but I can look back at the things we've been through and I feel a great amount of gratitude and pride for making it to where we are at now.
