to find out what this is with in you, you will need to contact your own doctors who can diagnose the problem in you.

Hi amandalouise,
I understand that you have had good experience with doctors who were able to diagnose you relatively early in life. I did not.
I eventually got to my dissociative disorders specialist because a support group member with DID thought she recognized symptoms in me that therapists had not. I went to a specialist and was eventually diagnosed with DDNOS.
So, I don't see how sharing our experience and thoughts with a poster is in any way out of line.
My experience with my last therapist broke down -- rupture without repair -- over a year ago due to what is probably NOT a dissociative disorders condition and I have found support on PC that I could not find anywhere else. I appreciate people's comments even when they don't seem "right on" for me. I can try to discriminate between what is "right on" for me and what is not a lot better with comments on PC than I could with doctors who for years didn't have a clue. And may have made things worse for me while they didn't.
I think I'm doing a little better these days, "with a little help from my friends". Doctors, too, but right now I prefer to stick with my friends.
