Purple I was Dx as PTSD, then with DID. After a car accident and a OD I developed nocturnal Tonic-Clonic seizures. I was told......back in the 90's that my migraines, and epilepsy and DID was likely connected. It was the chicken and the egg as to whether the DID or the migraines were first. They believed I had a propensity that caused the seizures. Fortunately the seizures stopped after a few years, I merged and no longer have DID although in high stress situations I do have a tendency to dissociate.
I know it can seem overwhelming to have two Dx, but maybe just keep an open mind to the possibility so you can work on it. If as you work with your T you find it really isn't so you will not have lost time in de-nile. I can't say how it is for you but I lost valuable time and good Tx possibilities to denial of the DID. I'm not saying you have both, it's possible.
