I have a mild case of dissociative disorder. It very likely is not full DID/MPD. I tried to get treatment so I could use my two engineering degrees.
Yes, I eventually cracked up. Got in trouble. Got a criminal record. Now I am in an assisted living facility for poor veterans.
But. My situation is different from other mild cases. I had no support. Only the insane Mom who caused the mental illness in the first place. If I had just one sane intelligent loved one in my life I probably would not have needed a competent mental health professional so bad.
If you love the sick family members who caused you to have a dissociative disorder, you need someone in your life to help you deal with them. Otherwise it is trigger city.
