I don't think I have DID because I haven't experienced any severe trauma in my life. I've had a peaceful childhood. The only thing that I guess isn't considered normal is that I didn't have very much friends growing up. I've had only one friend from 3rd-5th grade and 6th-8th grade I pretty much was all alone. I'm in 9th grade now, (I know I'm so young!) and I don't have anyone. I find it so hard to interact socially. And I feel as if I have no one in my family I can talk to about this. I don't believe they are very accepting of the idea of mental illness. I'm kind of wondering if it's possible for alters to spawn from loneliness. I usually have S there to keep me company and reassure me and even A can help out at times. They kind of help to block out the pain I feel from not being able to connect with people my age. Even if I do have DID, wouldn't I be too young to get diagnosed with it?

I also relate a lot to BPD so that's another reason why I don't think I have DID. I don't think it's likely to have both BPD and DID. Heh, I can't even become diagnosed with BPD either.

It just seems weird to think that I may have DID. Especially since other people have it to such an intense degree and I feel like I just have alters to help cure my pain from loneliness.
