How's it possible for people to delete other's posts? This is an open forum to discuss whichever issue that affects us. You don't have to like or agree with what you read. I think it's really important to keep an objective view-point and respect others who are writing these posts. Sorry to hear yours were deleted.

I'm not very familiar with DID nor do I understand it's lingo. What's: dx, sx, t? I'm assuming t stands for therapist?

How do you typically know that you suffer from DID and not Schizophrenia or Bi-Polar or some other "label" that dwells upon us all? I'm interested in learning more about this topic and I hope I'm not offending anyone here for asking.

Thank you.

I started a new thread for your questions so we wouldn't derail kerria's thread.

An answer to your first question about deleted posts can be found here: Re: Why are posts disappearing?

dx= diagnosis
tx= therapy/treatment

Here is a link that is found up at the top of the fourm pages Dr. Grohol's Psych Central - DSM-IV Mental Disorders Index: where you can find out about DID.

As for how one knows they suffer from the disorder? Usually one is diagnosed by a medical professional.

I would recommend reading up on the information first and then starting new thread with any questions you may have. A lot of folks in this forum have dealt with major stigma and often are reluctant to answer questions.

A politely phrased question or PM (personal message) will probably help get you the answers you seek.

Welcome and tell us what brought you to the Dissociative Disorders forum?
