DID=Seizures?

My comment about his going from blackouts to no black outs over night was the equivelent of your observation that he is excited about finding another therapist when you were not. I observed in the post a situation that showed progress quicker than I made progress so made a comment and a standard joke. around here its common for someone to recognize progress and sometimes add a standard comment like "not needing the training wheels" because you are already learning to ride the bike on your own. the standard comment doesnt literally mean the person isnt going to need to know the rules of the road and how to ride a bike in traffic. just that they are making progress at an amazing speed. or the comment of recognizing a friends progress on quilting. their quilt is farther alone then another person the person says oh go jump in the lake they dont literally mean go jump in the lake. or even like the saying that popular around the teens here they are talking with their friends and one friend recognizes progress or a good thing or exciting thing and they say "shut up" they dont literally mean to shut your mouth and never speak again.

not everything in life is meant to be taken literally. some things are meant to show hey this is great look at how much progress you are making. I observed something that was great and different than my situation and pointed out the progress with a non literal standard joke. of course I dont mean the lteral sense that he doesnt need a therapist . it was just an observation of progress. he's been having such a hard time lately I thought it would be good to show him the progress that I see in his post. and patted him on the back.

in my opinion I think its good to recognize progress not the negatives all the time. I know having people recognize my progress and using humor has helped me alot so i do the same for others. sometimes peopel dont understand why use humor when discussing mental problems and dont understand why I use it. but if they take the time to look past negatives to the humor and positives the healing is that much easier.

another one I use alot is "go break a leg" before I say it to anyone here and it gets misunderstood please know that of course I dont mean that I want them to literally go break their legs. its a saying in the acting /modeling world to over come anxiety and wish someone good luck when facing the public. when i see someone stressing over having to do somethnig, I recognize their progress and then tell them to go for it "go break a leg."

no i didnt take it as an attack. I know what I say gets misunderstood even off line. Im originally from a place where the wording of things is not like alot of other people so when I first joined here alot of people didnt understand how I talk, Through schooling I am learning how to talk for the carreer a therapist that I have chosen, Im trying to leave behind the dialect and poverty I was born and raised in but Im not always successful in wording things right. I preveiw my posts then the moderators check my posts before they go through to being posted. though I would like to be off moderation just to be like everyone else here, I am glad to have any and all help in wording my posts. sometimes i miss something and sometimes the moderators miss something so Im glad when someone lets me know they dont understand what I posted. I may make it more out of wack trying to explain what I mean but I would rather try then not try at all. Thanks for telling me you didnt understand what I wrote.

I never chose to have DID, it was froced on me when I was younger and I am thankful for it. I did not say that I can control when they cone out and I want to control when they come out, I black out at random times and this is what I want to stop. When they come out I want to remember. I do not look at them as broken off pieces of me but apparently my opinion on the matter is not to be heard so I will not get into it right now.

You do not have to believe me in wether or not I have DID, I know the truth and soon my doctors will as well and that's really all that matters to me. I do not always believe science because their opinion on DID is mostly just theories. They want to find a reason on how DID can exist when in reality there aren't always scientific facts for everything that comes around. If I believed science, I would also believe that I came from apes and the universe was created with the big bang theory, and I do not believe those as well.

Again, it's not your decision concerning my DID that really matters because you do not know me and you do not know what I am experiencing.

I do not look at alters as "symptoms" I look at the headaches, the black outs and the confusion basically as the symptoms and these are the things that I would like to control and get rid of, not the "alters".

I know the blackouts can come back, and I'm sure they will right now, I'm sure it was a one time (two technically) thing and I will probably start blacking out again but this is the thing that the new t and I have decided to work on together.

As you said, these are my opinions and you do not have to agree with them but this is what I feel and believe. You do not have to agree with it but this is my oponion.

I am done replying in this thread now. I was thrilled when I found out my new T had an available appointment for me next week and once posting my excitement I felt as if I was being questioned and somewhat spoken down to because of my views and my excitement in seeing a new T. I thank all of you for your kind replies, I have posted another thread explaining WHY or WHAT I feel about my DID but I do not wish to debate it with anyone, just to clear up things for all who are confused. Thank you for all of your replies and I hope you are all well.

HUMOR ALERT!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!
