Sorry you are feeling all that.

I am hoping nothing I said made you feel ashamed, because that's not at all what I meant.
To be totally clear: I absolutely believe DID is a real thing. I do not think it is shameful or makes someone "sick." I just also happen to feel that people who have DID have usually been through really awful things and, therefore, deserve more support and care.
Thus, I'm afraid that when I talk about having been diagnosed, people will be like "*eyeroll* you do NOT have DID. That is such an exaggeration. You are just making things that happened to you out to be worse than they are because you want attention."
I hope that makes some sense. I don't want anyone thinking that I think DID or any disorder is something to be ashamed of. I do not at all think that.
