Sorry I haven't been around much lately. A lot going on.
I have a new P-doc who is awesome with the Bipolar side of things, but I can't bring myself to tell him about the others.
There are 4 of them, 2 are littles, one teen and the last is about 40 years old. There is also a darkness that oozes from the walls. It's like a mist.

Anyways, I can't think of a way to approach the subject. Should I tell him? What if he doesn't believe me? The others are terrified of me telling and don't want me to.

Any suggestions or ideas?

HI there! Good to see you posting.

At first thought, no.

If the pdoc is the only one you talk with, for therapy, then maybe, but not now.

If the pdoc only prescribes meds and check ups on that, and the meds you take are working ok.. .then no.

Discuss this with your T, if you have one.

You don't have to rush into telling, esp if the meds are working for you. If you begin to have problems (as those with DID can have when at least one part doesn't need medication) then you will need to tell, either through your T (preferably) or yourself.

Just my pov.

you could ask him his opinion about DID amd if you feel safe then it would be really good to tell. knowing will help him relate to you but if you feel that he will not be ok with it you dont have to tell.I think it might be better if he knows but it is todally up to you.

Hope it goes well,

That is a really good idea about having T tell him. She is so awesome I just know she would help me.
He just does the meds part and right now we are going through some MAJOR med changes which....seem to be working right now. There is just a ton going on.
I talked to T a bit about it today, well, she asked if I had told him about the others and I told her no. She said that she thinks it might be a good idea at some point. I am just too scared to tell him.

Hmmm, that is another good idea. Feel him out a bit first. I think it would be better if he knew, too....It just scares me to have to tell him because I only met with him twice and don't have that trust there yet.

we agree with the others. Do it when you feel comfortable doing it. One time we had a joint meeting with T and p-doc. It helped us feel safer and the T was there to answer the questions we did not feel comfortable with.
safe hugs from all of us to all of you!

I like this idea best I think. I am going to talk to T and see if she will come with me at some point. Their offices are only a 5 minute drive from each other and I think she would be ok with it.
Thanks for all the hugs!

i agree with anderson...take your T with you to an appt you have with your pdoc...that would be an excellent time of answering all his questions too without feeling like you are out there on your own...hoping for the best for you...

The only meds I took my regular md prescribed so I don't have much to add here, except to say, good to see you.
