Thanks Kiya & Anderson for your posts. I guess we sort of feel like we don't belong here because when we read other people's stories, ours seems not so bad. But we do have physical damage as well as emotional.
Been seeing a good T for over three years, dealing mostly with PTSD, depression, and co-dependency issues instead of the dissociation. We were about to get into that, but T told me this week that she's losing her job in September because the county has decided to privatize mental health services. We don't want some fresh-out-of-school eager beaver messing with us in the hopes of writing a book, so will not go there (into DID) at all.
