I spill my guts to a therapist for years and when I am in crisis over a potentially new problem he has nothing to say. Well, time to shop for a new therapist. Praying the job hunting works out so I can get out of this godforsaken city and find a new therapist.
Wow, I had never even thought of DID as a possibility. That could definitely be the root of the problem, although it seems to be in the beginning stages if that is the case. The first thing you need to do is read up on it. Have you looked at all of the DID threads here and information here? Also if you look it up on other sites, or even try to find books on it, it would all be a great way to gain research as you progress with this.

A new therapist is definitely needed, and although you don't have to necessarily get rid of this one, you must find someone who knows the field of DID real well. Someone who HAS had DID patients, or even an expert if at all possible. Don't be discouraged, you have done a lot of good the last week. You have realized the problem, you nipped it in the bud for now, and you are now searching for a way to get to the root and get help. Telling your therapist was another great step, and you are definitely headed in the right direction. So don't be discouraged about your therapist, just keep putting your feet forward and moving on with this. I'll continue to keep up with this thread and watch your progress. Good luck, and I hope we can all help you through this as well.
Thanks for this!
