no switching does not increase with acceptance of the disorder. usually it goes the other way, with acceptance comes better understanding and better coping tools so that switching decreases.

example

before diagnosis I didnt know I had DID, I was switching all over the place with no control, no idea it was happening.

then my therapist recognized my switching and asked me to go through testing.

after testing the results showed I had DID.

the psychiatrist and my therapist explained the disorder and we all began working on grounding and getting to know the alters and why I swiitch all over the place.

this enabled me to gain control over switching which reduced the switching down to only those times when I was triggered.

over time and as my problems got work out and taken care of the alters merged with me to become one whole person again.

for a while it did seem to me (my thinking not reality) that things were worse because I was now aware of the full extent of the disorder and that I had it so every little thing that happened had to be because of the DID. in reality what I was seeing was the same things that was going on before I was diagnosed. getting the name for it didnt change what already was, it only changed my perception of myself. like my therapist explained receiving the diagnosis doesnt make things worse. it just puts a name on it.like if someone had asthma. being diagnosed doesnt make the asthma worse. it just puts a name to what has already been there. but when the asthmatic gets the diagnosis the blinders to being ok is taken off. they now have to deal with all the symptoms and problems that is that disorder. they cant turn a blind eye anymore. they see it in entirety.

Now I dont worry about the names of all my problems I just take care of the problems as they come along.
