Hi all,
I was active on PC for a brief while in September I think, but quit for I don't know why. I was diagnosed with DID based on clinical judgment in late 2010, but in the Netherlands, it's protocol that people get a SCID-D assessment before being diagnosed DID (SCID is a structured interview). So at first I wanted to go to a DID specialist to get a re-evaluation, but I was way too scared to tell a stranger my problems. Besides being scared of having to disclose my history, I was scared of being told I faked it all before even being given a chance. My T said she has experience with the SCID-D and was willing to administer it to me. I finally agreed and got it done over four sessions in March and April. She has yet to give me the official results, but already disclosed that the assessment shows I do in fact have DID. This is a bit of a shock, as I had hoped for something like DDNOS. I'm still kind of in denial, but less so t han before the evaluation. So, just wanted to let you all know.
