Im new here so heres some stuff about me -
My diagnostis are as follows:
Axis I: PTSD, Seasonal Affective Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Axis II: Depersonalization, Derealization, Dissociative Amnesia, and a history of Dissociative Fugue
Axis III: Anemia
Axis IV: Social netwworking is affected by financial difficulties.
Axis V: GAF 52
I used to be diagnosed DID but then my alters and I integrated. we are hoping now that my alters have been integrated I dont wander and start a new life so that Dissociative Fugue can be ruled out during my next psychiatric evaluation.
I get tired easy cause of the anemia. the seasonal affective disorder isnt too bad. happy in the spring and summer down in the late fall and winter. I take lexapro during my down months and off of it during my spring and summer months. I havent wandered to another town and set up home as an alter since being integrated. I still have problems with the amnesia cause during high stress times I fade in and out of numbness, tunnel vision and out of body feelings. Sometimes it gets really funky cuase everything around me looks 3 dimentional exagerated like seeing orbs or auras but not quite like that. just feels like that sometimes like the things arent real.
Im a college student so most of my interating with peers is sitting in a classroom or hanging out in the lunch room called beadrick hall something like that. every room and builing on campus has a name that is Something Hall. Sometimes I hang out out on the terrace. this college is right on the edge of the lake. Its real quiet out there most of the time.

Hello Amandalouise, I'm Miri and I'm new here, too. It's great that you are pursuing your education! I see that this is true for a number of people here. I went to university in my forties and eventually achieved a masters degree in education, but my career was derailed by depression, insomnia and therapy for childhood trauma and of course, for DID. I love school - both teaching and learning, so I envy all of you who are taking courses. It isn't easy doing that and dealing with mental health issues. I salute you all! I'm glad you have come here; I'm glad that I've found this place! Thanks to everyone for creating a safe place of belonging.
