I think it's an excellent idea to take this to your T and speak with them about it. It's a good place to start the exploration.

As far as self-diagnosing....I don't see what you're doing as self-diagnosing. You are not saying, "I have this diagnosis, and it is indisputable.", you are relaying a set of symptoms and asking, inside a forum meant for the support of dissociative disorders, for people to share their thoughts and experiences in a way that may relate to what you are experiencing. There is a big difference.

You are asking for SUPPORT!! And that is what this site, and this forum are for....SUPPORT; not for others to invalidate your experiences by throwing multiple other labels at you and saying "You could be that or this", and not for other people, no matter what their education or professional status may be, to simply blow you off by telling you to go talk to your T. Clearly those people aren't comfortable offering support or do not have the knack for it.

You have a right, just as everyone else on this site, to ask for support, to ask for others to share as they feel comfortable, and to get SUPPORT!!

Please, do not forget that!!
