Greetings. I am just beginning to digest my diagnosis. Since I was a little girl, I just thought I was spacey, forgetful, depressed & anxious.

It's a relief to have a name for the process that has left me with extensive memory gaps and assorted anxieties.

It's still a lot to digest, especially as I begin to grapple with assorted childhood traumas that prompted me to go numb.

I have a therapist and meds. Please share your strategies for coping during those early days when you first understood about dissociating, DID, etc.

Thank you!! It would mean so much to me!
