Gee thanks amandalouise, I have not been diagnosed with DID, however I experience flashbacks and can feel like I AM THAT CHILD all day long or for several days there is that strange back and forth of feeling that confused child, and yet feeling myself as well.

"While I have been dissociating I have noticed that I am cycling back and fourth between partially me now and me then I never feel quite connected to "ME" I feel numb, I feel his feelings which conflict my feelings now on everything from my wife to work, everything" Quote littleme420

I can relate to this very much littleme. But I never thought of this as DID to be honest, I just thought of it as the PTSD because I was CSA as well and I do have disturbing emotional memories and Yes I can feel that child in me during that time, very different than ever before.

I am seeing a PTSD therapist and he has not talked about DID. He has talked about how with the PTSD when I flashback I will be that child and I should remind myself that it comes and goes like a wave and just to let it pass, then ofcourse address it and work on keeping myself calm.

Are you in therapy?
