It's very disheartening to be told by an 'expert' that they think DID does not exist. Complete rubbish of course. Some do not believe in it. Of course DID exists but it is quite rare and there are certain things you have got to have been through in order to have full blown DID. But the spectrum of DD disorders is huge, dissociation certainly exists. You ask anyone who has seen a car crash whether they remember every detail about it and they won't recall it all. And the simple action of driving a car, everyone dissociates at some point even just for a few seconds. So, yes dissociation exists but diagnosing actual DID is difficult and you need a specialist in this area.

Now it is very possible you also have depression as many people with DID have other diagnosis going on aswell, infact it's quite rare just to have DID alone.

I suggest you look into getting a second opinion.

Take care.
