I feel scared. I feel like I have to push all the parts away. I don't know what to do.  |
when I get to wondering about what is real and what isnt I talk with my treatment providers, they explain to me what my diagnosis's are and why I have been diagnosed that way. this usually clears up the doubts /questions. another thing that helps is that I remember part of the diagnostics for DID is that reality testing remains intact which means that if I take time to clear my mind, calm down, relax I know whats real and what isnt. for me that meant after my mind calms down I just automatically know deep down that my alters were real, they were parts of me and still are parts of me just in a different way now that Im integrated.
suggestion if this continues to bother contact your treatment providers or a treatment provider in your location. they can help you to discover what is real and what isnt and if need be help you go through diagnostic testing to rule in or out the diagnosis. that way you will know one way or the other whether your alters are real or not. whether you still have DID or not.
