panic attack most likely because parts of you are not quite ready for all the info at once. Ask your therapist if he/she can slow down and explain one part of the disorder at a time. As for chat.. I can't help you there. I don't use the chat rooms.

My blog had Dissociative Identity Disorder information from being diagnosed to my therapy program I am on for it. read little by little as you can of it, print it off and share it with your therapist so that if there are areas you have trouble with or don't understand your therapist can help you with it. take care.
