I MAY have, that's so, but you don't know just as much as I do what she was trying to say. I read it differently than you because I can see it from a teen's point of view.
On another note, I never said that I was SURE I had DID, that's why I used words like "think", and "maybe".
But, if it is as you say and I may NOT have DID, then would you mind telling me what other mental health problems it could be? For I have no physical health issues at the moment. And I am quite sure that having a split personality has nothing to do with establishing an identity. I know who I am, and I know who she is - two, very different people.
It is a gross stereotype that all teens have no sense of self, or that their personalities are underdeveloped, or that everything they go through is "just a phase". It's not realistic, and it's not true for most teens. There are most likely an event amount of adults with no sense of self than there are teenagers.
I don't wish to be treated any differently here just because I am a teenager, or because I'm not diagnosed, and so far that's how it's been. And if that's how it's going to be, I'm afraid this place will be no help at all.
