Fox, wish you could move to another state where you could get the help you need. The psychologist that heads our DBT group has much successful experience with people dealing with DID....& many people here have found the right people to help them.

Sadly, unless you have a psychologist that knows something about DID without it only being text book knowledge, there is no way that they can honestly know that isn't what you are dealing with. Important to at least find the help you need from someone knowledgeable to make the determination. It's easier to accept something as being more the truth from someone who is knowledgeable rather than from someone who isn't.

Unfortunately, sometimes we have to go through the painful part in order to process it so that it can become an understood part of our lives. It's a slow process because we can't process more than a small part at a time without getting overwhelmed....but that's ok because the condition didn't occur overnight either.
