It\u02bcs a crazy question but I have alters that threatened to kill themselves inside, not on the outside. So if there\u02bcs a death internally what will happen? I think you are the first person who understands how people with multiple personalities work. I know you can answer this easily. Thank you very, very much. I like and admire you.<\/p>\n<p>Keith<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dear Keith,<\/p>\n<p>If an alter of mine committed suicide, as they often threatened, I would be dead. \u00a0I&#8217;m not sure your alter really understands the difference between &#8220;internal&#8221; vs &#8220;real&#8221; suicide.<\/p>\n<p>Once, one of my alters, Miles, felt that if he ended his life, I would be spared the pain he experienced during my being abused. \u00a0He was trying to protect me. \u00a0There is no easy answer here, suicide is not to be taken lightly.<\/p>\n<p>Please seek professional help as soon as possible. If any &#8220;part&#8221; or &#8220;alter&#8221; of yours is suicidal and commits suicide, you may cease to exist. \u00a0A multiple shouldn&#8217;t kill off alters within their mind; a multiple must integrate each alter to heal. \u00a0A merging of all alters is necessary for survival. \u00a0Each alter is a fragment or part of the whole you. Think of yourself as a puzzle, if any one piece was missing, the puzzle wouldn&#8217;t be complete. Therefore, you must not eliminate any alters, just merge them within yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Please take care of yourself and your alters. Wishing you a safe journey to healing.<\/p>\n<p>Karen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Keith on February 22, 2009 2:50 am Karen, If a alter inside you committed suicide in your mind how would you live?
