Being a person who has lived through childhood trauma complicates everything. There is overlap in so many different diagnosis in the DSM. I am glad to hear that your current t is looking more at trauma and communicating things to others.

I wish I had an answer for you. I have no answers. I can say that I relate to having no identity but having several at the same time. Historically my system has been segregated internally and externally. Even if it was one person living life solo, they would seem very different people depending on where they were or who they were around. It makes being a chameleon easy and having a solid sense of self difficult.

I am glad to hear you are taking things one day at a time. I am also curious about what types of self care you are practicing through this? What you are doing here by speaking up is a clear example to me of courage and willingness to work hard to make progress. It very much can hurt trying to move forward; you are trying and that is huge. I happen to be an advocate for taking care of ones self while in the midst of internal chaos as well as the triggery events that life drops in our laps.
