Thank you all for the input, I'll start looking into it tonight. I've gotten about 3/4ths of the way through "Fragments" in the beginning it reminded me of me, but the further along it got, the more bizarre and unlike me it got. Although there are still times that it dawns on me "hey this is similar to what I've been experiencing thinking it was completely normal" but it's just a bit much for my taste. I brought it up with t today. He looked at me pretty wide eyed when I told him it was a fiction, he says that's not a good idea to read a fiction and recommended that I read Sybil or Three Faces of Eve. So I brought up the fact that recent news says Sybil may have made up her disorder to gain the interest of her therapist.

So t says "I knew the real Sybil, I met her a few times and believe me, she's NOT making that up"... OK doc, digging a deep hole in my trust as I don't necessarily believe that. Not sure why he would make it up but...

Either way, made up or real, if her experiences are common for those with DID than perhaps it's worth looking it over.

Having trouble trusting t considering him being a male and feeling like he's not always honest. But he's the only one in the building equipped for patients with DID and PTSD so I'm kinda there. Nice enough guy, just seems he stretches the truth a bit to reassure me, but it does the complete opposite...
