Gee, wisewoman, that sounds just like me. Got no t now, but starting to have more probs than I can handle alone. I`m a bit scared of t because t has too much power. Have had a couple of good ones, but so hard to find one I can trust. First time in t (17), t locked me in darkened room & gave me 2500 microgm LSD. Took me 10 years to recover from the treatment. I don`t think the parts of us need names, in fact I think if they don`t think they have names it just means we are not quite as completely split as some people. Lucky? or not? My only official dx is anxiety disorder with intermittent dissociative fugue, but that`s coz I`ve never really told a t how it is with me. I know what you mean about the work, people like us have a lot of trouble holding paid jobs. I have given up all hope of paid work again for me, but I am 59 now. Would you consider factory work? As long as you lie about any education past high school, it`s often not that hard to get. The nature of the work (especially if too noisy for conversation) tends to be such that none of you are likely to forget what you are meant to be doing.
Then to satisfy your intellect & use whatever training you may have, you work as volunteer in that field whenever possible. Education is never wasted as it gives you more tools to handle problems of all kinds & increases your analytical skills which also helps.
Strayed off the subject a bit there, sorry. I don`t think it matters much what official dx is, we know what happens to us. At least here they closed all the mental hospitals so at least no longer able to be incarcerated at will by your t. Perhaps the forums will give me courage to seek t again.
