i know you guys might think i'm nuts but i wish my experience was as clear as yours seem to be. While i've learned the names of some of my parts through writing to them and writing down what they said, they don't seem to exist with "me" absent. i don't have people telling me someone else was out. i feel like a failure even at this. How ridiculous is that? i'm accepting that i just have dd/nos and not DID. i know being conscious of my parts is supposed to be a good thing but i kinda feel like it doesn't count...like maybe it's just one more thing that isn't real among things that maybe aren't real...even though i know better on both counts. ARGH i get so frustrated with all this!

Sorry Treehouse. i really appreciate your post (and everyone's replies) very much and hope you find peace. Embrace all of you as much as possible.
