Static blips, record skips, glitches throughout the day.
And like a Teflon pan, memories just slide away...

Hello! I have a friend who deals with severe dissociation (not DID though) that seems to be the amnesia kind. He doesn't have a lot of knowledge about the medical field and therapy, so I've been helping him out--since I've been around the block--until he can afford and get in to a good therapist to get professionally diagnosed. I've found the book "Coping with Trauma-Based Dissociation" by Suzette Boon, Kathy Steele, and Onno van Der Hart to be incredibly helpful for understanding what he experiences and providing good coping skills, but I'm looking for other good sources for a noob to psychology with dissociation. And as much info on how I personally can support him as a friend from a long distance. Any other resources for people with dissociation as well: books, youtube vids, support groups, whatever you've found useful.
This is such a terrible condition and I honestly don't know how he's able to function at all, let alone with a full-time job and all of you with dissociation are incredibly strong. I had only met people with DID before and I didn't realize how bad dissociation could get before a full split happens.

I am brand new to this group. I am challenged with DID - and dissociative amnesia.
Trying to find ways to keep myself safe - I have had unsafe sex - with absolutely no memory.
There is ‘evidence’ of the sex act.
I never know what I missed - until little pieces of information come out -
The cringe of embarrassment and disgust can overwhelm me to the point of despair.
I am in a loving relationship - however, he absolutely believes/knows I have been “sneaking around” having sex - he has upgraded it to a love affair. He is said this in the past about a man we worked with - I have no memory - zero. From theses so called encounters. This is extremely difficult for both of us.
I have many little ways to track my time and movement. So, I can be absolutely 100% positive that there was zero possibility of any sexual contact. Only to hear him respond to the “new evidence “
These episodes make me feel full blown cray - and very unsafe. Imagine you have sex - yet you have no idea with who - when and where. I battle low self esteem for the first time - I have lost a good bit of self respect - so full of disgust for myself- so broken from causing my partner such agony. I believe I have about 9 alters. I am sure there is at least one, who can pretty much take over. She can engage with others, have sex - without any of my consent or knowledge. It’s physically, mentally & emotionally draining. Of course I have experienced sexual trauma - very little memories. Yet, there is enough I do remember. I am seeking healthy ways to heal, to live consciously - mindfulness. Considering hypnosis. I feel that I don’t have the truth about ME. I need to know - the truth. The truth about everything - all of it. I want my life back - I want to be the one in control of decisions. I decide who I see, who, when and where. I need to set and maintain boundaries. I need to stop, interrupt the sexual behavior. I need to get back in front - and live my very very best life.

How do you stop dissasociating? How do you all ground yourselves again? It's been over a week now and I'm still mostly feeling unreal.
I had, for the first time, an episode of dissasociative amnesia. My Dad said something to me, and I can't remember what it was, but I lost my cool, threw my purse down and ran to my room and cried. And I don't even know why, because I can't recall anything. I hate it, I've never blanked like that, and I've never lost control of my emotions like that either. I'm just feeling so...lost.
Any advice to anchor me?
