Some people who have DID are highly functional. Others who have it are not.

I too fall into that category of not being highly functional. I have to pace myself. At times my pace is so much slower and smaller than others. I physically wear out easily.

If I push things too hard everything falls in a heap. If I am stressed my speech turns to stuttering...

I really struggle with comparing myself to what normal people can do.

Parts of me are really hard on me. So yes Rhapsody DID gets in my way too.

I cant say I have a solution, because I don't.

I don't have a 9-5 job. I exist on welfare.

The only advice I can offer you at this point is that some-how you can get some kind of support system around you.

Try and have focal points in your week where you are doing something that requires your attention for a few hours and get you out of the house. Hopefully that event will include people.
