Hey there, Faith,

Welcome. I hope you find the answers you are looking for. Have you talked with your therapist about the possibility of DID or DDNOS?

We just started touching on this last week. I asked him about the dissociation but we haven't diagnosed anything yet. I guess I'd be more likely to be categorized as DDNOS than DID.

He doesn't seem to like to classify me. I also have a lot of obsessive thinking but he says it's not OCD.

He is M.Ed., L.P.C. not a psychiatrist or psychologist, so maybe he's not able to diagnose these. . .I'm not sure.

But it does help to hear your stories and look at myself to compare.

I think that I'm feeling my problems are a little less severe than I thought. Mainly because I realize now with DID that you lose time and all that.

I don't lose time, I just zone out and part of me stays connected and part is not paying attention. It does make it hard to recall details of conversations at times. I know it is still a problem that I have to work through.

I need to practice staying with my feelings when I'm tempted to check out.

Yesterday I was trying to get work done but I spent almost all day researching this and learning more about it. I tend to get drawn into the internet and researching at times.
