Yes, it helps slot, flockpride. I was "officially" re-diagnosed with D.I.D.about 7 months or so ago. I had been diagnosed w/bipolar schizoaffective for about 20 yrs. I had had a few experiences that I knew were MPD, but no one would listen to me. I didn't know what was happening; many of the symptoms were obviously PTSD... again no diagnosis...
I've had one therapist addressing the subject who is just awful... so I quit seeing her. Haven't met new one yet. " Not a one of those things happen to me.", says self. Well a few I guess... I think that one is me.. not sure. This personality is saying " Is this really D.I.D. ? Is that what's happening?" All of life seems to be in mid-air right now. Sorry to go on and on, but y'all are all helping immensely... I know no one else w/this disorder ( very small cty. and area). They came tumbling out after diagnosis , but only while alone...it was like the diagnosis and the fact of specialized therapy validated them or something. Therapist wanted me to be an adult and process like an adult until I was alone. Eventually a "leader" came out while alone and told them to all go back inside... pronto! Therapist distrust, I think.
Then when I joined this forum some of them came out... they don't talk to me personally and I am afraid to talk to them. Story for the Littles is when that began. Thank you, Yezeenan. More helpful than you know. I'll try to stop writing on thread... taking up time from y'all. Thanks again. From: In Mid-Air.
