Mental health stuff isn’t new to me - been dealing with bipolar and anxiety for a looong time, but this DID stuff is new. My previous pdoc (psychiatrist) was treating me for bipolar. She retired. My new Pdoc met with me a couple times, then told me she wanted to do this eval.
“Lost” - I’m not sure how to say that a different way or how to expand upon it. It feels connected to vulnerability, exposure. Does that make any sense?

I can relate to feeling ''lost'' and yeah it does feel connected to feeling vulnerable and exposed. (for me anyway). I also think you exude sincerity and liveliness. It's a pleasure to meet you.
I have started a couple of threads in the ''garden'' sub section here (sometimes I don't feel like talking much but I always like images of bears, so does my bear cub (bear cubs?) I have not found helpful professionals in this area. I met the ''snake'' of one professional and I've found it even harder to trust another. I think I was quite unlucky with that guy. He did teach me some things though....
