The thing is though is that I have no recollection of anything we discussed. She shredded my file but said she woulf be willing to talk to my new T. Im interested and scared. Anyone know about US guidelines in diagnosing this disorder?

If you question the diagnosis, definitely get a second opinion from someone who is qualified to do the differential. Ask your psychiatrist for a referal to someone he's comfortable with. DID is not a label you want to have if it's not your diagnosis. The stigma that DID carries in the mental health treatment community is huge. Plus, you might be getting the wrong treatment for the illness you do have. Go for a second opinion and take it from there.
