shatteredmirror,

I like your analogy very much. It fits very well with DID. Making your clearer vision is something you know how to do. At least somebody there with you does. You just don't know that you know how yet. Does that make sense to you?

I can barely remember being diagnosed, but I can relate to the what's real and what isn't real problem. Sometimes those things we hope and pray are not real come up and slap us in the face until we believe them.

I would like to offer one piece of advice. I would never question your T's judgement but sometimes when an alter does not have a name and a negative name is used it becomes, it appears, fuel for the negative behavior. I would use caution with that. Just my opinion with no offense meant at all.

I know how hard it is to post this kind of thing. It took great bravery to do this.

Keep yourself safe.
