I think it's the way the mind copes, and can go "unrealized" for so very long.
First time I saw professional (less than year ago - yes new here.) She had all these forms to fill out before - I wrote out family's medical/mental history (scary & traumatic just to write out!), and wrote my mind was "very compartmentalized."
Morning of visit I freaked, and circled highly compartmentalized memory, and added I knew my mind protected itself, but I needed to heal. Put down DID question since I knew she had experience with it, and I experienced it with other family members. But never thought me.....
Yet it explained so many things in my life that never made sense.....
From my point of view it protected you...or sometimes you just check-out....
