Let me assure you that if the T that dx'd you with DID was certified/licensed then they would not make that DX of DID unless it met the specifications according to the DSM.

Some of your selves might not be aware they are DID, others might know everything. It is thought that each person with DID has a master part that knows and keeps aware of everything. Wow. It's sometime called a helper, that the T or host part can call upon when in a bind for progress.

Don't be surprised to find out if some of "your" thoughts are really theirs.

But it is all YOU... whether you are the main/host alter personality or not... the mind has cordoned off when something too overwhelming has occurred, perhaps.

Have you read any books on the subject? Getting Through the Day is a good one... and you can bounce around the chapters reading what is pertinent if you wish...it's one to keep reading though.

Since you've had such obvious issues with family around, it might be good to find some basic info and let them read it as well. Not that they will understand, but it might help them realize it isn't you acting out per se, but the disorder working.

As for privacy, well, you need to have an agreement that he won't read your journals. If he wants you to begin to heal and feel better, that's a must. I will share though that there are little safes made to look like books...common dictionary or such that are lock and keyed.

The other portable safes are too easy to open imo, though you would know if they were broken into. No, you must have some privacy. This guy needs to be in for the long haul or he will hinder your life and progress, sorry to say.

Be well.
