not sure i understand... but wanting to clarify - "the new black" as in "what is now popular"?

Just incase....
DID isn't "Popular" - it is a pain in the *** to live with. People who have it are not born with it - they learn over time when their current coping skills stop working (this is the pain in the *** part), otherwise they don't know they "have it".

For those people who believe "people say they are DID and are not", or for those "pretending" to have DID who do not have the dx (and please know i am not making any judgements or assumptions here) there needs to be an understanding that there is still really something wrong for those individuals needing the "undiagnosed DID dx", if that is what it is.
Neither of which is the case with Tree (and is really no one's business).

and if i am not reading this right, then please disregard.
I do not want to take away from Tree's post.
Sincerely,
Kiya
