Everyone's experiences can be so different, so for me, it's hard to know for sure without a professional. That would be hard if your Drs don't believe that it exists though. I went to therapy for a completely different reason and found out that I have DID. I just thought so much was normal, thought everyone had certain experiences that were going on for me. I have amnesiac DID and so don't usually know I'm gone unless I find out after, although as I get more awareness, I'm more aware that I've missed days and events. And I'm trying to pay more attention to my environment for clues. While they have been there forever, I was not aware enough to look for them (One reason was because I didn't know it didn't happen to everyone) so often if I don't try to consciously think about it, I don't even pay attention to things.

Everyone is so different. I'd definitely talk to your therapist if stuff is going on that is interfering with your life. While there aren't any meds specifically for DID, there might be some meds that can help with other things going on (ie depression, anxiety, etc).

I think it's great that, if you have DID, you have so much awareness of other parts. I want that so desperately but for me, it awfully slow coming (but also, I went through denial for as long as I could as well. I don't do change so well or awareness so well). I don't mean to, but I kind of get envious of people who have awareness to that degree so quickly and have to keep telling myself that I am making progress, even if it's slow coming. That's just my own stuff though, not a reflection on anyone else. I just want to be healed- and now (which is hard to come by when I also don't do change very well lol) I think you're doing really well.

As far as belief, my t and I had a conversation about that once. She said that it's kind of irrelevant whether or not Drs or people believe because it doesn't make it go away or show up, if they don't.

I wish you the best with figuring things out. It's a long hard trail, but it's doable with hard work. Take good care of yourself.
