Wow, that's a hard job, taking pictures of homes without the owner's consent. I'm surprised that you haven't been approached yet by the law from some irate homeowner. It sounds like a really stressful job, anything dealing with other people to me is stressful.

I just see MI as a fact of my life. Sure it has "ruined" my life, but I have to let that go to live for tomorrow and just accept that I am what I am. That my life to live, it may suck, but it's all mine to make the most of for the best that I can.

I'm just a rowboat in the sea pushed around by the winds of MI (my) life.

I quit measuring me up to the standards of "normal" people because I will be disappointed every time. I set my own standards and own them because I'm special that way.

We hope that you find your own peace.

I also want to add that forgetfulness isn't always DID. Being distracted, nervous, stressed, licit and illicit drugs, hungry, emotional, moody, sleepy and other things also contribute to it.

Even stressing over MI in an obsessive way keeps the mind preoccupied. I'm like so guilty.
