TS,

I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. Your T, of course, will help you with this but she may be taking thing slow because you are so new to the dx of DID. Follow her lead closely.

Sometimes it can be quite unsettling and overwhelming if you rush into this. DID can be complex and frightening at first. Just facing your dx, and acknowledging your "little" is a big step.

DID and Dissociative Disorders are different for everyone and do not follow the same path in healing. What may work for one does not always work for the other so be careful of people who suggest to you that DID "should be this way or no way." That can cause harm to your healing if you begin to doubt what you know to be true.

Like someone saying "you don't have breast cancer because you don't have this gene or that cell and you didn't need chemo."

I also see that you are new here at PC. (month and a half)

You may want to go back through the archives and do some reading. There is so much helpful information to be found there, learning about the struggles and the triumphs of people with dissociative disorders.

People will support you here and offer things that might've worked for them, but in the long run, listen to your T or a professional with a degree.

Good luck.

Petunia
