welcome Johnthomas. usually people dont immediately trust and tell new members their story of being DID right away. you see DID is caused by being abused in the most horrific ways. people with DID dont usually remember their whole story. part of being DID is having memory problems. this can result in people feeling self conscious/ not believed by others because of memory gaps.

the best way to find out if there are any people here like yourself is to post about yourself. then those that have things in common with you will post back to you.

what I can do is tell you I have a past diagnosis of DID. All my alters have since integrated. here is where you can read more about what DID is in general here in the USA.
