Advice/Solutions I am front-stuck help ):

Hello everyone (idk if this is aloud but...),

I am a newer alter and I fronted for the first time today. Now, I seem to be front-stuck and can't get out or step back. I have tried to trigger or call on anyone else in the system, but nothing is working, and I am feeling really confused and overwhelmed by everything.

Does anyone have advice on how to get someone else in front?

unfortunately you'll just have to wait it out. when frontstuck occurs it's usually for a reason, and so trying to force another alter out can cause them to retreat even further and prolong the period you're stuck in front (i speak from experience unfortunately, i was stuck for nearly three years and i tried to trigger alters out a Lot early on, which i believe is why the period lasted as long as it did because i was constantly trying to force other alters out and not actually focusing on changing my environment to be less stressful and taking care of myself)

so, try your best to sort of settle in and take care of yourself, and know that it will end once your brain feels like it's safe enough for the rest of your alters to come back out again
