i've found the stigma associated with dissociation/trauma disorders/DID so overwhemling also.

It makes me wonder if anything is worth it at all- if all the pain of therapy, losing credibility and the terrible isolation from our family, friends and society is worth surviving.
After everything we have to go through- there is nothing and no one left to get better for.

why we live with despair besides all these things.

Is the rejection worth it?
How do we live with it and not internalize the rejection- when we see what our 'illness' has done to divide us from our families and the loss of being a credible honest person in everyone else's eyes. How does anyone keep on?

i feel so bad about myself most of the time, it's so hard to receive support. Mental disorders definately become a moral issue - it's the only sin that people won't forgive us for, that we can't forgive ourselves for either.
