(((((((((((((((((( ww ))))))))))))))))))))))) actually PTSD is an anxiety disorder. however, i think it should be a dissociative disorder, because most dissociative disorders accompany PTSD. what do i know tho, right?
i've known a couple of ppl who are "parted" but are not DID. DID is when the parts are so separate that they take executive control of the body alot and alot of the times the main person has no recollection. that's DID. DID also is accompanied with a great amount of "amnesia" or loss of time.
that's the only difference in where DID is actually DID and not DDNOS or PTSD or another dissociative disorder...when the parts take executive control accompanied with time loss most of the time.
that's how i understand it and it was explained to me. there are some really good resourses for the differences online.
(((((((((((((((( ww ))))))))))))))))) i hope things improve for you soon. dissociation is no fun..whatever the form...most of time.
love,
kd
