I can really relate to this. I’m not a clinician, just someone who had a PD and has done a lot of research. So . . . someone who can help you clear up this mess? You mentioned a therapist – how did you find him/her, how do you feel about him/her, are they expert in PD’s and dissociation?

I’ve been through a lot of therapists who didn’t have a clue when it came to PD’s, apparently didn’t know to recognize and diagnose them either. Have been seeing a specialist in dissociation and trauma for 3 years and it has made a big difference.

It takes a while, with a therapist who can really deal with the “messes”, and if you’re with one who doesn’t seem to be able to, then (1) try to talk it out with them, and if you can’t (2) find a PD, dissociation, or other specialist.

Good luck and best wishes to you!!
