(((((((((((BeckyC))))))))))))))))) It's all you. My T said one brain but with barriers. The things that cause DID to happen are very traumatic and generally long term. Without it, T and I feel that I would have either died or gone crazy or ended up like the ones who did the events to cause the DID. Given those options, DID is a far better result than the others. It isn't through weakness that one becomes DID. Some people have a propensity to dissociate more than others and combining that with a strength and a will to survive, the end result is sometimes DID. Hang in there. It can get better.
