im wanting to know the big differences and the little if possible

what would it be like for someone to live with severe dissociation and not develop such?

i have heard that some with DID don't have PTSD...

i have heard that some that have PTSD and have faced atrocities don't develop DID ...

im trying to draw the lines, trying to find my place

If someone can develop DID without PTSD ... then how is it that someone with severe ptsd and dissociative symptoms can not develop DID..?

wouldn't it be easy enough for a person to say they indeed don't have DID..?

for me i didn't even realize i had severe ptsd, is it feasible that one may not even realize DID/OSDD..?

also looking for more understanding over OSDD and DID differences and what differentiates it from PTSD with severe dissociattive symptoms...

just to add im not looking for a diagnosis of course.... im just looking for understanding... expanding my awareness... or trying to.... im trying to do treatment, trying to talk with people, but my resources are extremely limited so those whom i talk with are only able to help me so much...
