It is possible to live life freer cope not negatively and not go back to any of the not useful alters no matter why you decided you stop it is just not useful. I call that a little more wholeness, but mostly just living freer when there is always enjoyment in anything we do. It depends on who you talking to and why, DID is more of a psychological term, I kind of despise the word mental or condition. For instance, if you visit psychology today and read about a T in your fee/insurance range, then read that in t 'mental health' section dissociative disorder....When you decide to make the phone call for more information I'm going to use the word 'mental health', dissociative disorder then proceed with my questions to possible make appointment for intake. Some terms are necessary all people are different all interactions are different.

I think condition is use in different context almost like a negative connotation...In one condition can you do x y z...Conditions of your programming....Conditioning you to enter into a career you are destined for since nothing else has really worked. I get it though, to different people you have to use different terms....I still like the term coping mechanism for systems new in healing , but even that requires a deep explanation when you in therapy after some time, maybe not right in the beginning unless you with a new T with the existing dx.
