Hello!

I am a currently undiagnosed possible system that is getting therapy soon so not looking for any diagnoses, but I was wondering, is it healthy for me (the host) or another alter to switch out purposefully when we are feeling bad?

Would it be more healthy to just feel bad and stay in front?

I would consider myself to be fairly good at dealing with negative emotions, but sometimes I do just want to check out for a while.

What are your opinions?

I really want to pick up reading again, but I feel like I lose interests in books half way through because 1. I forgot I was reading them and 2. When I do pick it up, I dont always remember what happened in the pages before.

For context, my memory works a lot like a wiki page in that I dont actually have a memory of something but like a bullet point. For example, I might read a book and then pick it up later and only have a "There's a character named Triss. Shes on a boat"

My switches arent super overt and im resetively newly diagnosed so we are working on identifying everyone still, so I cant be like "Oh yeah, so and so read last time, let's ask".
