Im new

Hi! I wanted to introduce myself. I am DID and farily new to this dx. I found out a year ago that I have DID. IT was a hard pill to swollow. Im still struggling with accepting it, even though I know it's true. I look forward to the support and meeting others like me here!
I am married with 3 kids and am employed full time. Hope to get to know some of you here!

hi Sarayu,

Hope you find what your looking for here.

Welcome to the DID forum and to PC!

I'm new too. A friend with DID showed me this site today and I have not been able to take myself away from it. I knew that I had DID before my Psychiatrist did I just didn't know that it was called DID.I was experiencing internal conversations and child like behaviors. 2 years later my Doctor gave it the name of DID. I have had this Disorder for some time now but I can't always control when I switch to another Alter. I think that the both of us will get a lot of support here.

Nice to meet you all... I had the internal conversations too..and always felt like I was sitting in transparent box lots of times.. never had any idea it was DID.. I always thought DID was like the movie Sybil.. so when they told me I had DID>. i was like.. nooo way.. I dont act like that! silly me eh? lol

Yeah, me too! I thought it was "normal" and that "everyone" had the same things going on in their minds, too. Not that I feel "abnormal", but that is what I would think when I was younger.
I didn't get a diag until I was 31!
Once you know, it's hard, but eventually it you work with it and figure out the best and easiest ways to cope.

Welcome to PC! This is a fantastic community. We have DID chat and everything!
For us, we knew we inside had each other - often when we had no one else. But we thought everyone at least had their inside family like we did. It was not until a few years ago I actually understood what DID really was about ... and not until this year I had a much better picture of my mental health - along with what needed to happen to help me heal.

DID is not a "dis-ease" ... It is a remedy we had to create in order to survive what life handed to us. A wonderful tool of the mind that we can learn to use in a very healthy way.

Welcome I've only recently (October 22, 2009) been un-officially diagnosed by a pdoc who hates labels. But I've since coming here have learned that no, not everyone has voices that talk to them inside or a fantasy world that they can hide in. With the help of everyone here I'm slowly starting to understand myself. I hope that your experiences you share will benefit all of us as much as our experiences have benefited others.

Sarayu,

Welcome

Welcome to PC and to our community. I hope you will find support, encouragement, friendship, and a place to find rest. For me being diagnosed DID was hard. I denied it for a very long time. But when I kept losing time and not knowing what had happened it began to make sense. Even now at times I want to say no I do not have it but when I deny it the inside gets very loud and there is a pressure in my head that hurts more than I can say.

I thank you for posting and reaching out. Sending gentle hugs, and looking forward to reading your posts.
