((((((((((((((lostone)))))))))))) You're brave. I don't even want to know what happened to me lol.

DID is on the extreme side of dissociation. A person can be any where on that line, ergo DD NOS and depersonalization, etc, without being at the extreme side. Regardless as to where anyone is, it's hard to deal with dissociation and past stuff. The one thing about dissociative disorders that my T said is that it can be changed. It was a coping mechanism our brains did to get through some yucky stuff and as we get stronger and learn how to deal wtih life in different ways, that dissociation can lessen.

I know it can be scary, but just remember- you are a survivor. You've already gone through the stuff (and if you are going through stuff now, I hope you can reach out for help and safety). Thanks for updating us. We look forward to hearing from you. Hang in there.
