By the time I went to therapist I was having full blown panic attacks, crying for no none reason, getting angry at everything and everyone, having compulsive thoughts, I wasn't able to focus and was confused most of the time. I was jumpy and on edge. This behavior was happening at home and at work. I thought I was insane. My first therapist got me through a very scary time but he did not know I had DID. He did have me take anti anxiety medication which helped with the panic attacks but not my racing and compulsive thoughts. I than began an antidepressant and although it is a low dose it calmed the thoughts in my head and I began feeling less confused. In stead of what seemed like a hundred different thoughts at one time I was now able to see my thoughts as coming form another self. This has allowed me to work with my present therapist addressing my DID and past trauma. I don't know if this helps. I hope you start to feel better. Take care. I want to also say I am not a fan of medication and put it off for a long time. But I have to say if I wasn't taking medication I would still be lost in my head and confused.
