I'm sorry, but look at it this way, now healing can begin.

as I was just told by new T, "When the patient gets better the diagnoses changes."

I've had a lot of diagnoses put on me in the last decade or so, and when I told my new T all of them she said she thought that was a hefty load of diagnoses for one person. She isn't even interested in talking about a diagnoses with me anytime soon.

Every T diagnoses or treats differently. Think of it is several different subjects/perspectives to focus on and pull good coping tools from, that's what I've tried to do. Whether or not I am any or all of the dx I've been given or not, I can use different tools from each direction as a lesson in helping me to build a better map of healing for myself.

It is hard for some to accept the DID dx.
But for many of us, it allows us to finally understand the mental anguish we have experienced throughout life.

My suggestion is for you to start with trying to learn your alters and find out who they are. There is a reason each one is there. Each one should be treated with respect and dignity... even if you do not like what they may have done or what memory they hold.

Read through the DID forum here and you also may pick up tips on how others are healing up on the inside and able to survive daily.

Most of all - be gentle with yourself. That will carry you a long way.
Thanks for this!

We'd all love you despite this Raiyel but since you got it, maybe you can meet some of us in the Forum here or in a chat. It is a great plethora of people here, Raiyel and they generously share, questions and what has worked and not worked for them. Sometimes we just seek some simple support and someone coming alongside. Other times we just need to vent. Other times it just feel safer saying stuff to people here than tryin' to explain the whole thing to others that don't have similar 'stuff' goin' on. Here's hoping you can feel calm, cared for and comforted.

Love,
Hunny
