Partner's Alters and Their Strange Behavior

My partner has Multiple Personality Disorder. My partner's alters post at a SCI-FI posting board as wethepeople and a few even use their own names to post individuality. This site causes TRIGGERING and FRAGMENTATION for my partner when the alter's post. I'd like my partner's alters to stop posting. My partner doesn't realize it's unhealthy for the alters to be posting. My partner refuses to let the therapists deal w/the MPD they way they should be dealing w/it. My partner is asking the posters at this site to instead help because my partner doesn't trust the therapists enough to let the terapists help and to stop the posting the alters engage in like they should.

After my partner saw the newest therapist, an alter posted the following...

(QUOTE)starbaby(one of many and proud of it)BUT. I really really really would just like to be one. Asking again for you ALL to help me accomplish this. But since I am not real you will have to get to the HOST to help him/her with this. WAit, we have known nothing but multiplicity all our lives?? Oh are WE confused??!!!  YEAH WE ARE CONFUSED.

Multiple names I have, well not me but the host has, and we'll always have them until She get fixed. Or either you help. Can u help?? WE saw someone named Margeret today. She works with people with DID. Maybe she will help me. The host has multiple legal names in real life. it causes problems but it is a very very extreme problem whether the SPhere waas ever here or not. no games with US. But we do have bad probs becuse of the urge to create and BE. Oh yeah. An Alcoholic. Just don't drink anymore daddy. Just drink one drink. NO. You know this never works. anyone with ideas besides the new therapist we got, I am game.(QUOTE)

Other posters replied stating they aren't qualifed to help and thus can't and the therapists should be helping....

(QUOTE)As for helping you, first off, I don't know what kind of help you are seeking, second of all, I probably wouldn't know how to help you even if i know. Third of all, isn't it medical? doesn't that mean it requires professional help, not just posters around here....?  Oy(QUOTE)

(QUOTE)SB....I have been on this board for what, three years? I *still* don't know what in he11 you expect us to do for you, why we are being asked to do it, and whether or not this is a good idea at all.(QUOTE)

(QUOTE)Starbaby, there is one unalterable fact of the Sphere, and that is that it is not a mental health clinic where people with mental health issues will have a safe environment in which to play.(QUOTE)

After these responses my partner's alter then posted the folowing...

(QUOTE)Not me but the host is already seeing them and you already know it. I myself asked for help here. Not from Mental Health Professionals but from some of YOU. That's all. Don't want this problem to be solved by them, but from YOU. I didn't ask for anyone else, don't want anyone else. I want help from science fiction fans, not mundanes (PARTNER'S THERAPISTS).(QUOTE)

Another poster replied....

(QUOTE) On a serious note, SB, you (or the host) are not being fair. We are as was said, not qualified, nor do we want the burden of having to feel its our place to have to help you. I don't mind talking to you, but I will not be put in a position to feel responsiable for you. Additionally I don't think thats even fair of you to propose, even if it was ment as a group effort for everyone here. Don't do that to people if you know whats best for you, because it can cost you friends.(QUOTE)

I have posted various comments agreeing w/the other posters despite my partner's alters disapproval to them...

(QUOTE)Sb: Drazi and Black are right as well as yee and others. No one here is qualified to help you nor is this a place for someone like you to seek help. I have tried telling you this HOWEVER you choose to not listen to me repeatedly. I'm sure many here, as would I, like you to seek proper help guys.(QUOTE)

(QUOTE)Also guys Drazi states...Starbaby, there is one unalterable fact of the Sphere, and that is that it is not a mental health clinic where people with mental health issues will have a safe environment in which to play.

I have tried explaining for a person with MPD this place can cause triggering (making you remember how you GOT MPD to begin with which could cause wrong posts to come up every now and then) and fragmentation (the creation of new alters in a system). Again guys this doen'st sink in very well.(QUOTE)

(QUOTE)Drazi does have a good point for someone w/a menatl illness they should refrain from posting b/c it's not safe for them. My only hope is the online e-mail support groups starbaby/wethepeople is in will be of much help in communicating w/others that have MPD/DID. This is definitely a safehaven for people of this nature online. It will not cause triggering and fragmentation for the person.(QUOTE)

My question is this: I can't make sense of why my partner is posting risking health for triggering and fragmentation. The only thing I can think of is my partner is posting to prove his therapists and I wrong that the posters can help better than the rest of us can. I am just trying to makes ense of this and wish my partner would discontinue posting. Do you have any insight as to my partners behavior?

His thoughts are quite disorganized. My comments are quite limited at this point except he needs to be professionally followed and ascertain his diagnosis. He may benefit from medications like an antipsychotic like Risperdal if he gains the trust of his therapist.

WE are not her partner. She is a nosy busy body with
an obsession to MPD. Do WE have MPD? Maybe.
But anyhow, if she is such a PARTNER As she says, she
would NEVER go behind OUR backs like she has. WE are going
to post there. WE are going to sPEAK.
