Hi Emma and everyone,
Offering you lots and lots of safe hugs, and sitting with you all if you would like the company.
Are you able to communicate with other alters? Are you able to come to some kind of arrangement with the suicidal alter or make a plan with other alters to protect you all?
Within our system the Littles often take over when things get too unsafe, or everyone kind of hides, which means that no one fronts so we are blank, but also means we are kept safe. Doesn't always work though...
If you aren't able to work out some kind of arrangement like this, then work out a way to prevent the suicidal alter from taking action. Stay around other people all the time, try to stay grounded and be aware of switches, practice distraction, work out if there is any way the suicidal alter can express their feelings in a safe way, and then HTT/ A&E/ etc.
From personal experience I know how deeply distressing and frustrating it is to try to keep going and stay safe when switching a lot and losing time etc. We are here if any of you ever would like to talk. We think of you all often and offer our support :-]
Take care xxx
