A person with DID is an individual that has alters or parts of any level...and they effectively can’t deal with life on life terms. One can also call them “disabled”. Yes?

People claim that they are one or the other.... Which would you consider your system to be and why...even if you are riding the fence. Are you in treatment or not....and how is that going?

I have never heard it described in this way, and I can't relate. I function pretty well, but do not use the multiple term because I am one person. My therapist uses DID and I have used that at times, but only in the context of therapy.
