most if not all people with DID actually do not realize they have it. DID is a mental disorder that happens in very young children (NY mental health demographics/statistics document before the age of 5 due to extreme trauma) that child grows up just like any other normal child does and becomes a fully functioning adult who just like any one else in America falling in love, getting married if they choose to, having careers, working jobs they enjoy or working out of necessity... here in america we even have laws that prevent employers\landlords\treatment providers and people in general from discriminating against a person with any mental disorder including people with DID.

because the child grows up having DID thats their normal. because its their normal children dont go around yelling I have DID watch me switch, and parents and other family members well all they see is the child being the way the child normally is , they dont go around noticing every time their childs moods switch\personality switching and such. if you have children you know that children noramlly do have many switches in their personality(moods, emotions, how they think, what they say and do.....0 if you dont have childrenheres a good example go to a playground or public place where there are children, take a book or something with you so that you can sit there and watch the children play, watch how children's expressions are happy one second and sad\temper tantruming the nexrt, laughing, how one second the child wants to play on the slide and the next th ey are running to the swing....

the type of forgetfulness with DID is not the kind most people notice like oh gosh so and so can never remember where she put her keys, so and so can never remember to put her toys and clothing away... the type of memory problems associated with DID is a very special kind of memory loss (some locations call it time loss\time lost) that goes beyond the normal realms of forgetfulness. one thing about DID is that its created in children to enable children to go on with their lives justlike normal people do without having to worry about all the trauma. these children grow up to be fully functioning adults who mostif not always dont remember all that trauma that having DID has made them forget. most if not all people with DID enter therapy due to other things like anxiety, depression, flashbacks, nightmares and then just like discovering they are bipolar or schizophrenic discover/get diagnosed with DID.

my point is here in america people with DID do hold down jobs, can function just like any other person regardless of whether their job is solitary or not, regardless of whether they socialize or not, and it is not......most likely just like you cant tell whether your co workers have depression,or a heart problem you are not going to know which of your co workers has DID just by looking at them and trying to analyze their work performance and if this is about you well no one that you don't tell is going to notice you have DID. you can hold down a job just like any other normal person can if you choose, in short no one needs to know except those you choose to tell.
