I agree with everyone so far!! Whatever it is labeled, these are the issues at hand.

This being said....get a second opinion!! Dissociation is NOT a conscious process, like said before, and as my T says, DID and DDNOS are on a continuum and it is different for everyone....and nobody's textbook. It could just be that you are very co-conscious.

Not meaning to say your T doesn't know what she's talking about, but if she hasn't done much work with dissociative disorders, then she hasn't done much work with dissociative disorders and maybe you should seek out someone who has. Unless you are comfortable with things the way they are, then just keep doing what your doing.

I disagree with what your T supposedly said about there not being many with DID dx. There are plenty...some who have been mis-diagnosed, some who are not seeking a diagnosis or treatment, and some that haven't gotten to the point where they are comfortable coming out of hiding.

Regardless of whether you have DID, DDNOS, none of the above, or Dandruff, something's going on and we will be here for you.
