text: in need of contact with others with dissociative disorder? i have bipolar disease but also have been diagnosed with dissociative disorder and have been losing time.  i need others to talk to that can understand what i'm going through.  talk to me!  talk to me! i have d.i.d. and have been seeing a psychologist/psychiatrist since 1992.  i have been in group therapy and it really helped.  most of my group were bleeder's (cutters) so that was different since i stopped that way back.  but then i had intergrated my "bad" alternates years ago too.  good luck.  i tend to lose around 2-3 hours a day.  i have no idea what i do then and i don't really care.  i don't get in trouble by family or friends, so i see it as a small payment to be able to live the rest of the day as myself.  you don't get "alternates" from bad days you get them from being raped as a 4 and 5 year old by your dad.  and as its also caused by brain chemistry being out of alignment.  so please, don't give me this caveman shit.
