I do thank you for your concern. 1) I have a psyc appt. 2) I have been actively getting help for 5 years 3) I know it isn't bipolar. 4) I was mainly needing to vent and wanting to find other people who have DID.
While I understand your concerns about the possibility of someone losing their life, this isn't the case with me. I wasn't trying to self diagnose honestly. I already have PTSD and was looking up that when I came across depersonalization/dissociation...and I guess I do not explain it well...but that is exactly what I am going through. For me it was an Aha moment and I merely wanted someone like me to talk to about it.
What I meant about the doctor was wanting to know how to go about bringing up that I think this is DID and have the doctor at least consider it instead of brush me off. I was diagnosed 5 yrs ago in 5 minutes no one can tell me that is how it is supposed to be done. I can not relate to people I know with bipolar nor they with me. THere are some similarities but it just isn't the same disorder. I will not be upset to know I have DID it makes sense to me honestly. THough some days it bites not having someone you can talk to about it that can relate.
Also I finally got put on anxiety meds ironically ones used for DID and I was doing great but for some reason this hospital doesn't send you home with scripts so I have been waiting almost 2 weeks for my psyc doc appt to see if he will put me on that med permenantly and discuss the DID and treatment for it as well. I know me better than anyone does and without that med in place I will keep getting sick IF my anxiety gets out of hand. I get sick within 12-24 hrs of anxiety. I always know I am getting sick the day it happens. There is no weeks of build up.
I am sorry if I upset you in anyway. I truly just wanted what everyone wants to find someone or someones like themselves that you can share and relate to.
