I have been going to therapy this time for just 15 months with the last 4 going 2x week. Things are shifting for me but I can't tell if it is a good thing or a bad thing. I'm not more stable though I am having more good days than bad. What I don't know is, am I feeling what I should feel? People talk about healing or working through something... I don't know what that means, what that feels like. What did you feel when you felt healed or that you had worked through an issue?
Thank you for sharing your story.

I'm diagnosed with major depression, DID and symptoms of PTSD (not diagnosed with PTSD because pdoc did not want written record of it).
It terms of healing from depression. I realized I was getting better when I stopped planning to kill myself on a daily basis. I started finding positive things about life.
It's kind of weird about the DID. I never had any great "aha!" moment about healing. I just realized one day that my parts were no longer taking over the body. They are still there. I can still tap into their individual strengths if I need to, but they no longer take over.
With PTSD, I realized I was no longer having flashbacks.
Sorry, got kind of long winded, which is something I do. For the most part I did not realize I was healing as it was happening. I'd say if you are having more good days that bad you are healing.
