For me personally yes..a lot of anxiety but only relating to people, crowded places etc.


At home I'm fine and can take my dog out we like to go out when its quiet but like..an appointment coming through the post would trigger panic.



If I can get out of it by making an excuse via email I will!...if not I'd have to gt family to take me and they'd do all the talking.


I used to have more confidence when I saw myself as my 'deaf version of me' and could get interpreters but I was fully mobile then and could cope with public transport as long as I had my walkman with me.

As a wheelchair user I'm forced to ask for help to get in and out of transport and communicate with people..and with covid and mask wearing and this Omicron being more infectious ..(our cases have gone up 65% in a couple of days..govt has raised covid alert level and PM making a speech on national TV tonight!) ..the thought of a stranger having to get close enough to physically assist me ...is enough to trigger panic tbh!



I'm still waiting for the Home Visit Booster Jab! ..so have only had 2.. last one over 6 months ago now!

Perimenopause could also be making panic more intense ..if it can make non-autistic women panic ..who were never previously panicky people ...then the effects are gonna be 10 fold on someone who already gets anxious very quickly!

On the plus side I can quickly lose myself in my own world getting immersed in video games to de-stress!

Doesn't having DID make you anxious? ..not knowing who will 'take over'?
