I have not been here much lately because I wanted to focus on the 'here and now'. 've Been through a lot lately, Began a training at the TRTC for DID. It is intensive but helping. I did not think a group therapy with others who have DID would help me, but it certainly helps me. But it is difficult now the more issues we face and are discussed. I start to dissociat and switch more. I thought everything went well but now I'm worried. Is it normal that the symptoms get worse and more present now the training is more intensive?

anyone have experience with this?

I know I felt relatively stable except for anxiety and I started with a new t who diagnosed and started treating me for DID and things have really gone downhill for me. I am less anxious than I was which is a good thing, but like my last sanity score test was a 40, I recently took it again and it was a 125. my pdoc started me on antidepressants because I felt so hopeless. I had a meltdown at work yesterday and I dissociated. that hasn't happened in many years. I went from seeing my old t every other week and wondering why was I even seeing him to going to t twice a week. so yeah, I think working on it really makes you more symptomatic.

I have never been able to find a therapy group for DID. I have been to other therapy groups. In groups I find that other parts may get triggered and I found it unsettling. I didn't go for many times.

If I stayed in a group like that I would hope that the leader(s) know what they are doing.
