Outside of therapists... 3. Two of those 3 also have DID. The other was a life long friend. She said she thought it explained stuff... she had thought I had something like bipolar disorder. But she didn't really 'get it' and we never spoke of it again. For various reasons we have had different alters fronting this year and this friend recently ended the 30 year friendship saying that we seemed to have moved on (no, just more traumatized and coping less and her 'friend' hasn't been around much) and we are not the same anymore.
Sad sad sad.
Does anyone around you 'get it'?
