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.

not necessarily. I sometimes write to my treatment providers in the middle of the night and not remember it and for me its called bipolar mania, depression, anxiety and sometimes even sleep deprivation (which is lack of sleep, which in itself can cause a person to have memory problems and do things they dont remember doing)
but this also does not mean a person who does this does not have DID either..
my suggestion is to go according to your treatment providers. in time you and your treatment providers will figure out whether you were misdiagnosed or not...
one thing I can say is that its very common for someone to deny/fight against a diagnosis, regardless of what the mental or physical health diagnosis is,
just keep working with your treatment providers and someday everything will make sense to you and whether you have DID or not will be cleared up in time too.
