I'm sorry to hear you feel you need to numb out. DID and trauma and abuse will do that. But it isn't the goal of a healthy life, you know. No matter how bad stuff is, you are worthy of a satisfying life in the present moment. You deserve to be present here and now.
You didn't like another person's response, but the point of a forum like this is to share different ideas and to offer support. We're not all having the same experiences and that's ok.
Trust issues are a big part of DID, so if another poster is expressing something like that, it's ok. It's where they are on their journey. Just like you are in a place of wanting to numb out. It's where you are. Maybe not where you want to be, but where you are at this moment.
