Hope, you don't have to necessarily accept the dx but you do need to start working on treatment in order to feel better. This is true no matter what your dx is.

I certainly don't want to have orxaccept that I have DID, I would love to just agree yhat I have major depressive disorder and PTSD but just working on those 2 dx would not totally help me. DID causes a lot if my symptoms and makes my depression worse. The trauma that caused my PTSD also caused my DID. They are all related but they do have some different treatments.

I was diagnosed with DID over 2 years ago now and I still struggle with accepting it but I continue with the treatment because I want to get better regardless of the dx. Sitting on my hands and arguingcwith T about the dx is not going to help me.

BTW I actually have CPTSD but my official dx is PTSD because CPTSD is not in the DSM. I doubt your pdoc will dx CPTSD since it is not an official DSM dx.

Try to get past the label Hope. Just start working on treatment. The sooner you do the sooner you will start to heal the pain you are always talking about. It is in your hands; your decision.
