Thanks, wanttoheal, for the reply. Regarding your question about memory: This is perhaps one of the reasons I'm beginning to think that maybe it's true. I always didn't believe I had DID because I've never - at least that I can recall - "lost time." Of course, I recall very little from my childhood (although some things are coming back as I work on the trauma), but in my adult life, I've never ended up in a place and wondered how i go there, or anything similar. However, recently, in an honest look at this issue, I've forgotten conversations and other things throughout my adult life. I can be sitting in a meeting wtih the CEO, and she'll reference something i said or a conversation we had, and I can't recall it, or there an extreme fog of confusion abotu crisp details. In fact, I've been to a neurologist in the past regarding memory, and he said all was good. So, while I've not "lost time," it's very difficult for me to recall a lot of conversations and the sort. Another example: This weekend when I went back to review my legal file from the stealing case 7 years ago, the letter from my then-T to the judge mentioned that she had cancer and was retiring because of that. I know sure as crap that I read that letter many times back then, but the cancer thing was new to me this weekend when i saw it.
Please forgive the grammatical errors. No time to go back and proof; must get back to office.
