He was like "yeah, yeah, but you don't have it, you don't show the symptoms", and he was like i'm not gonna tell you the symptoms. i'm not saying I have did just because I say it, but I'm tired of feeling bad, I'm really tired, and I'm looking for help, that's everything. It sounds crazy when I tell people, and I realice, but something's wrong with my mind and I need your help on this.
I do know I have some dissociative disorder and I need someone to listen to me, to have a talk with me. He says I'm just very anxious and sensitive, and yeah, that's true, but i really have so many states... i know this is true. he sounds so secure of himself, and, what if he hasn't have been able to detect he had DID patients? Hum. Maybe he's treating me this way just only he thinks I'm obsessive and doesn't want me to obsess about things.

I spent many years trying to find out what I was going through. I read about all the mental illness that run in my family, than I read on the ones that don't run in my family and still nothing fit. Than one day a good friend described an episode I had as Dissociative. I had never heard about it until she said that (she works as a social worker). I started reading about Dissociation. It was like my brain let out a big sigh. It took another five years before I decided to find a therapist that was familiar with DID. It took over two years before I was diagnosed. Therapy has been difficult at times but I am getting to know myself as I am and that feels very good. Take care
