We all know that DID presents different for each of us, as in each of us learn to cope with it in our own way. I just wanted to give my idea of the recovery process.

I have been dealing with this for a long time, long before I was diagnosed. Obviously it has always been there but when I talk about when it surfaced I’m actually talking about when I became fully aware of it.

So in the beginning there is a lot of hostility and fear and we might believe we are going mad. Over the years with information gathering and more understanding things began to calm down.

Very gradually communication became possible, and with that came more understanding and then negotiation and compromise. The more information gathered, the more understanding there was, the calmer things got.

Lately there has been a feeling of coming together, working together. There have been times when I thought it was gone and I was recovered. But that’s not the case and I’m very doubtful if it will ever be the case.

I think we owe it to ourselves to learn about DID and work out what works best for us. Reducing pressure and stress helps a great deal.
