DID is dissociative identity disorder.

A couple years after my diagnosis of DID I switched psychologists. My psych doctor said he thought it may be epilepsy and not DID. But he never said a thing again about it. Then about 4 years ago I was seeing a new psych doctor for my eating disorder and he too said perhaps it was epilepsy and not DID but everyone always changed their mind and never followed up with it. I guess in part that is my fault, perhaps I should have looked into it but just figured it was a off the wall theory.

Dissociative identity disorder basically comes from really extreme abuse or consistant abuse as a really young child. That does add up for me in that sense. My last therapist who I may be going back to is still insisting I have DID, but aknowledges the epilepsy as well since the EEG came up positive. I just read an article about temporal lobe epilepsy and its relation to DID which was pretty interesting. But leaves me even more confused.

It's all too confusing
