If I don't have DID and I am making the whole thing up then I have almost certainly suffered severe trauma because really, I can't imagine a person making up alternate personalities who has not undergone severe trauma. I mean, if that seems like a good idea...
Since DID is a result of severe trauma...well, you do the math.  |
A psychologist I worked with said something similar. She said that if I was in a state of mind where I was both making it up and pretending to doubt it (not to mention acting it out), it means something seriously needs to be addressed in my life, regardless of whether it's DID.
Both are along the same lines and well worth considering.
