Hi. I recently got home from a 45 day inpatient stay. For the first time I had what I felt to be a productive and therapeutic experience. I am chemically dependent and had always been put in treatment centers and came out highly agitated and incapable of coping in a healthy way. This time I went to a place that specializes in trauma and I saw a trauma therapist who diagnosed me DID-NOS. I felt seen and heard for the first time in my life.
Now that I am home I am nervous but I feel pretty good about staying clean and am doing what I need to for that issue. I have a therapist who works with trauma and has experience with dissociative disorders so so far so good. I am still in the laying the ground work stage so have not gotten into too much. I don't lose time and I have awareness of parts as they step forward, I just don't have any control over most of them.
I am new here but have been using this site for information to help myself for a long time. I hope I continue to post, I am just not great at the online stuff.
I am grateful for a place to feel heard and supported.
