I have not been diagnosed with a dissociative disorder. I do know and accept the fact that I am experiencing dissociative symptoms/episodes/"things" and the most important thing to me now is to learn how to recognize it for what it is and be ok. That probably doesn't make sense, but it is how I feel at this moment.

I guess if I was "diagnosed" it would be something that I looked at as something that was wrong with me. Not in a bad way, but it just feels like something that would always "be" and my mind would see it that way. It feels like it would be something that I could never accept as "me" and ok.

Same question. And, what is the good side of a diagnosis? The benefit?
