First thing, I don't mean to speak badly to anyone who has DID. I have a great deal of respect for all those working with this diagnosis. I've come to realize this is an area that I'm very confused about, even the information I read.
A month ago my T's said I had DID & we confronted my H about it which was in an old thread. I'm still not convinced this is the correct diagnosis for me. Is there any way to prove this? Maybe just to myself? I did take a DID exam when I was hospitalized in January & was told I had "very fragmented parts." I feel like I'm in no-man's land.

I've also written emails in the middle of the night to my one T. I do t remember doing it. That could be dissociation right? Written in third person.
Last wk during our session I felt like there were 3 separate conversations in my head I was listening to. It really slowed the session down bec I had trouble concentrating. At one point my one T said she wanted to talk to another part that was in my head. So she counted to ten then asked me if I was someone different, what my name was, was I male or female, & what I wanto be called.

I was the same. Nothing happened.
Last wk the other T asked me to ask my angry part to stand aside so we could talk to the hopeless part. This kind of worked.

I don't kno where I stand on the dissociative scale anymore. I'm so very confused. I did tell my T's I didn't like the session where they tried to call another part out & I don't wanto do it again in therapy.
