Splitting isn’t a sign of failure or that you’ve done something wrong. It can be easy to feel guilty of a split for whatever reason, but for those of us with CDD, it’s the brain’s natural coping mechanism that it’s utilized for so long. It’s a tool it’s familiar with and will go back to, because it “worked” in the past. If you’re a newly split alter, things are going to be alright. You and your system will get through whatever it is that caused the split.
