Finally nearing/in a longer collapse, any tips?

Question / Discussion

Hey!

I am part of a DID system and I feel like we as a whole are nearing/in a collective collapse. No alter can front without sooner or later dissociating and feeling no motivation to do anything and multiple alters have also started to cry uncontrollably at random moments. We do not have our usual supply/important person (our spouse) around as much anymore as we are trying to separate our lives more to manage our relationship (read: my emotional outbursts) better.

Any suggestions on getting through collapse? What I have read from before is:

  1. Feel your feelings/sit with your feelings (which tbh I hate, I feel like I want to kms/stop existing every few hours, but ofc I am not gonna do anything bcs I am too special)

  2. Build multiple sources of supply (including hobbies which we are not good at to be fine with failure)

  3. Get better therapy (trying to get DBT, which is gonna take months if I get it)

  4. Is it a good idea look out for new human connections? I feel like it could be a double edged sword bcs we do have the impulse to get supply from other people now which is unhealthy, but healthy human connection at the same time can keep us stable.

Any other tips? (ig this is my attempt to rationalize a collapse to distance from it, but heh...)
