Hi nicksfan,
Just to get you started, DID stands for Dissociative Identity Disorder. There are a lot of abbreviations, the one I use a lot is BPII, which is Bipolar II disorder. It'll take time, but you'll get it all figured out. Just feel free to ask all the questions you want, and I think Ozzie mentioned the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) area near the top right-hand side of the screen. It will take you where you can find out how to do quite a few things here at the site. A triggered post is marked with a red circle with a black "X" in it. Also, sometimes the writer of the post will put the word TRIGGER in the subject line of the post.
I hope some of this helps. Post when you're feeling comfortable, and ask all the questions you need too.
I have some questions about therapy and insurance when you're feeling settled in. I hope you're doing OK.
Greg
