I was diagnosed did too and it was a zebra diagnosis by a zebra doctor. I agree that the diagnosis is the least important aspect. Doctors diagnose difficult cases with what they are most familiar with. Turned out I needed to be taken off half my meds.

I’d not cut loose any connections and go impulsively to another state without some backup in place. Use the case manager you have to make connections to a dissociative unit if that’s what you want to pursue. But tell your pdoc that you think the meds you are on now are working, what you need is stable housing and long term therapy. In my case the social worker worked with my insurance to send me out of state to a dissociative unit. But that didn’t resolve the housing issue. It wasn’t until I got my sec 8 and had stable housing that I was able to make progress. I did it with a good therapist who knew nothing about DID but did great elective therapy. So my 2 cents is keep harping on housing. Don’t discount what you have which is a bird in hand for two in the bush.
