Thank you also Pegasus for replying, I appreciate it.

I have heard how stress can do some wild things to someone, when in the midst of the situation. Not sure if my dissociating is due JUST to stress though, all I know is I get upset when I'm trying to keep a job or make a point with someone, and have no recollection of something-- that others are saying I should have.

About six months after I started with this past therapist-- he actually asked me, as I was talking about an acquintance of mine that is DID-- my T. asked me-- "Are YOU DID also?".... and I replied, "No, I'm not"..... nothing was ever said about that again. It took another six months for him to see and get me to see that I dissociate.

assure myself that there must be a part of me that knows what this person is talking about. I don't worry about that so much now.

I've always been so worried-- either I feel people are trying to con me by making me feel I "missed" something, or, I also fear that I won't be "aware" of something when I really need to be. It's upsetting to me-- and was difficult to do this thread/post..... feeling way too exposed and vulnerable I don't usually talk about these things.

Oh and also-- just FYI-- I quit with my T. in January-- went back once in June. I only email him now, asking quick questions--nothing very involved.

Thank you also for the "welcome"....... it will be hard though to convince myself of that...
