Hi all,

Although I have viewed this site in the past, this is the first time for me posting and joining a group. I have had PTSD most of my life due to childhood trauma by my brother: Verbal. emotional, psychological, and sexual abuse. My T. referred me to this site since I live alone and she thought it would be good for me to talk with other people about issues. I was just diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder PTSD has been difficult to deal with because i have problems staying in the present moment. My dissociation is directly related to my PTSD so I think this group can help me stay focused and in the present. As far as this new diagnosis I feel lost, confused and scared. I am
hoping there is someone that can give me advice and help me to understand
DID a bit better. I told my friends about it and they are supportive but it is
hard to talk with them because I don't understand it myself. Anybody out there who is dealing with alters?? Thanks for reading.
