Do you believe it is possible for someone with DID to ever recover and lead a happy life?
YES! Absolutely, without a doubt.
I see glimmers of it for me. There are still some really awful things that I have to face... but once I've done that I reckon this whole person here will be in a much better place. I look at how far we ourselves have come.... and it is verrrrry far. Once we work through some of this other stuff it will be even better, for sure.
I also know other people who have had / still have DID and are living perfectly healthy, happy, productive lives.
The trauma stuff is the hardest part. Unprocessed trauma has the power to dominate one's life. Life will be spent trying to avoid triggering anything related to the trauma, and will maintain the dissociation. Inner conflicts will do the same. Work through the traumas and the conflicts and life has the potential to not only flow smoothly but actually be enjoyable.
That's what we reckon anyway.

question: What is one trait about any one side / part / alter / aspect of yourself that you admire or like?
