if you come across malicious alters for you, remember that they are for your protection They don't know anything else, they have no other means but they do what they do out of self-defense, and never want to destroy them! You harm yourself with it. They live in your body, and what happens to you or the body affects them as well. If you treat someone badly in your system, you are treating yourself badly. This is not to say that they are not independent of you, just that, that they share the body so they have to work together for a gained life.

Get to know yourself. Having dissociative Identity disorder can be complicated, confusing, overwhelming and lonely. Get to know the others, figure out their quirks, strengths, weaknesses, etc. Set schedules for others that front that might not know what to do when, and make sure everyone's up to date and don't make things more difficult for you. Having DID can be really lonely, talking to someone and finding support in your situation is super helpful. Things don't always go according to plan, and be prepared to roll with the punches and expect the unexpected. Alters are difficult to control sometimes and it can take time to get used to things being a certain way, especially if they're constantly changing
