My family knows I'm DID. I grew up w/ support so that made me strong. I can also have an attitude. If you're gonna like me, you have to like ALL of mes. That doesn't mean I will go up to anybody & tell them. I do try to keep my mental & social separate. Like when I had my sign language group going. None of them knew I had any mental probs, diss, anx, panic, depression. I didn't want them to. Didn't want them looking at me differently. So in part, I didn't want to deal w/ rejection. I've been rejected quite a bit. Yet I keep trying to get that friend, that local friend. But I want people to know me as me not as my disorder.
Big hugs to you.
Love,
RhysMadison
