Haven't been chattin' with you much lately.
I want you to know that I am still here. It's been difficult for me to talk to you lately. You haven't done anything wrong. It's just that I am struggling to understand my own dissociative disorder and it still confuses me all up inside. I am beginning to wrap my head around DID/DDNOS and am spending more time in the acceptance mode as opposed to the denial mode, but it is still difficult for me. When I read your posts, the things you say don't always make sense to me and the way your illness presents, it is kind of sitting outside my mental box which is making my understanding you that much more difficult.
I am glad you are going to follow through with meeting the T once you turn 18. You really need to find some clarity in this. Regardless what the diagnosis is, these experiences are yours and they stem from something. I'm not sure what or where or why, but it's really not my place to understand you as much as it is your place to understand yourself.
Honestly...I am not sure what is going on with you, but it is NOT my place to say anyway. One thing I caution you on though, whatever label or diagnosis someone decides to place on you, do your best to not let that label define who you are. You have nothing to prove to anyone here. All I ask is that you do your best to be patient with us all as we are grappling with our own issues as you grapple with yours.
It's not always easy facing up to someone elses issues that push our mental envelopes when we are struggling to face up to our own.
Take care....
