I too have only been diagnosed fairly recently and I don't have much coconsciouness but i have begun to get some with a couple of parts. I like it much better than not knowing anything. At my last therapy appointment I was very very triggered and my therapist said I was constantly switching with no part staying out for very long. my therapist said one part kept coming out and yelling its not true!! Its all a lie!! I remember some of it but it is very fragmented and choppy. Times like that I find it much easier to accept the diagnosis. When I'm at work I am perfectly normal and fine and just want to live a normal life.
For years I worked, being perfectly normal on the outside and had a fairly normal life. I was only to keep that up by being in active denial and shutting everyone out as much as possible. It actually really worked but now I understand that's not a long-term solution.

One of my therapists has described me going through something similar; I've had a few therapy sessions where we did get extremely triggered, and it seems that there is someone who isn't aware of the others at all and seems a bit stuck in the past.

Thank you for your input!
Thanks for this!
