my husband and i just started watching this show. it's very .... interesting.

interesting to see the differences between 'hollywood DID' and real life DID, you know? Tara's disorder seems almost.. organized and predictable. my husband commented that he wished it were so 'obvious' in real life sometimes.

i have blanks. blocks of lost time, conversations that others remember clearly having with me but i have no recollection of.. and yet, it's not obvious to them that they're not talking to ME. at least, not always.

i also find it interesting that she is almost always an alter for at least a whole day. for me, lost time is usually fairly brief.

one funny thing, the other night, while we were watching it.. something in the show caused some thought to trigger something in my mind which caused me to have a little internal tantrum. and then? only seconds later? I couldn't remember a damn thing about it. couldn't remember what had happened in the show to cause it, what thought had entered my mind, or why i had the reaction i did. i almost asked my husband to rewind the show so i could see if it would happen again. but i didn't want to.

so, has anyone else watched it? thoughts?

at this point for me, since i haven't fully accepted things the way they are and still don't know what to make of all of it... of all of me.. i tend to watch the show with one of two thoughts in my mind 'wow, i'm glad i don't have that problem/am not that crazy' or 'oh god, that is so me.. i'm a little scared of how much i can relate here.'
