I guess that I should add my own thoughts.

I'm glad to see such strong people on here, but I wonder if someone bothered about it would actually post under this topic.

It's true, for me it was a great relief that finally has explained my first 43 years, well part of it. The other part turns out to be this DID thing, but anyways, I'm not bashful of my illness. I kinda wear it as a badge of honor. I don't throw it into people's faces, well, maybe I do every now and then, but not in a bad way. I just unashamedly explain it.

People know I'm off. The more I tried to hide it before I knew what it was, the more off I became trying to look normal. I now feel free to be me!
