So, I guess my questions are: 1.) How did you accept your diagnosis? 2.) How long did it take you to feel comfortable admitting to yourself that you had DID? 3.) What is the next step after acceptance?

It's definitely a process. Some parts accept. Others refuse to accept, even though they know they are parts. Frustrating.

Participating in a group helped me.
It's easy on a good day to believe there is no DID.
I struggle with this. It feels like being in a maze of conflicting beliefs. Dead ends occur that you didn't know were even there because other parts see them when I don't.

I have DID. For me the next step after acceptance continues to be struggling to understand how this all works.
