I just realized something...
I seem to be becoming addicted to DID and finding resources for it. It's like, if I'm not on PC, I am typing in "DID resources" etc... it's like I am obsessed!!!! And the crazy thing is, I don't even know that I have it!!!

If it helps...we're doing the same thing.
It's natural to do consistant reaserch on something you think you might have and/or are curious about! When someone first suggested "DID" to us, we went crazy trying to find out everything about it (& we still do!). That's how we discovered PC! (Webber)Erik

I don't know that it's either good or bad. It just is what it is? You're very brave to look into information, I think.
 When I was diagnosed, I spent years denying it and then I spent years avoiding any information that had to do with it. It was so triggering for me to read anything that had to do with DID or any dissociation disorder. I only got information from my T because I got so triggered by stuff, and I was also afraid that if I searched out information, I might take it on as my own stuff, even if it wasn't the case for me. I didn't want to add anything that wasn't there to begin with. It was good in some ways to rely only on T for information. I was able to receive accurate information without trying to weed through things, not knowing what was true or not. It also helped T to know exactly what was going on for me because I wasn't influenced by things I read. On the down side, it's taken longer for me to move forward (though I tend to be a tiny steps forward kind of person as so much is so triggering for me). Sometimes I think if I was braver, I could find information that might help me heal faster and that would be nice. Hopefully you will find a T soon so that you can get tested and find out what's going on for you. Hang in there Manda.

Manda...
 Hon...this is why you have a T. To help you work through this....and to give you a thorough/educated eval. She can't help you learn about what you're experiencing if you don't share your symptoms with her. One of the T's that diagnosed me....I had 3 opinions....told me that it is good to learn about what you are experiencing from books, but that ultimately it is better if you learn about what you are experiencing from your experiences. You are not a textbook...and if, for one reason or another you can't discuss this with T right now, all the information you read is just going to lead you down a road to more confusion and more questions. Talk with T....she is there to help you through!! Take care....
