I had an experience at a high school reunion where people kept saying "hey remember when we...?" And every stinking time I was like "um, no." After a while I stopped answering and just nodded in the affirmative. This is one of the hardest things about having DID. Also, I lost a very close childhood friend after a visit abroad with her. It broke my heart. What happened was that she was reminded of how hard it was to be with me as a kid. Apparently, I switched a lot. She thought I kept changing my mind to "piss her off." I was able to explain to her the reality of parts. She said she wanted to rescue me from my parents house all the while we were kids. She said anyone else would have swallowed a fistful of pills. She said I am strong. Then she said she couldn't be around me anymore. Really I'm heart broken. She understood me more than anyone else in my life. Think long and hard about revealing yourself with old friends.
