One reason we don't write a lot in forums like these is because we feel we don't fit in. T says we are DID but sometimes reading in forums like these is triggering because we read we are supposed to be a certain way and we arn't that way - so it's more like the childhood trauma - we aren't what we're supposed to be, there is something wrong with us, etc. T says every system is different; there are similarities but there are also differences and we shouldn't compare the way we operate to how other systems operate. We don't have to fit a cookie cutter mold to be DID.
But sometimes it seems like 'DID' is a religion, or people try to make it one. You have to be this way or else. Although the criteria for being dx'd has changed a few times and may be changing again...so who knows.
T says our system was designed the way it needed to be for us to survive. There was no handbook that told us how....
He also said it wouldn't matter if we were DDNOS or DID - treatment is the same.
Just wondering what others thoughts are.
