Let me begin by saying that I do not have DID. My therapist agrees with me that I had DID but now it is OSDD. Anyway, no - we are not interested in integration at all. Italics can't stress that enough, so let me say clearly, we are vehemently against integration for us.

My reasons for being in therapy at the moment are unrelated to my dissociative issues however, my trust for my therapist is second only to my wife - and since we don't get to discuss these issues with anyone generally, we are enjoying being able to be ourselves around her so the dissociative themes are regularly present in session.

We've found a way to live happily and comfortably with our diagnosis and so, we are not looking to change anything. That doesn't mean that life always goes the way we expect it to - go out to pay the phone bill and come home with coloring books for instance, but rather than look at it as a problem, we've changed our perspective. Humor and acceptance have helped.
