Yes, I sometimes do think I am making it all up. I think that is common for people with DID. It's unusual, it's misrepresented, it's well, just weird.

I think that perhaps what your t is doing is trying to help you figure out what you think about all of this. It is true that everybody has ego states that present differently to the world. Most people act differently at work than they do when they are with friends. Most people act differently around their elderly parents than they do with a new baby. So we all have roles and we all act/think at least a little differently when we are in different roles.

And then dissociation does exist on a spectrum. Everybody dissociates some. perhaps while driving, or forgetting what you just went in the house for. Some dissociate and just freeze up. Others can be triggered into an intensely angry or fearful state. Some switch parts when triggered.

So I think maybe t isn't 100% sure and is just trying to figure things out with you. I'd go ahead and tell him whatever you can about it. It doesn't seem to get easier to talk about until I start talking about it. And I figure not talking about it just drags things on and on.
