Does OSDID always go along with...

c-PTSD and BPD? In my readings it seems that dissociative disorders are never by themselves and that it is misdiagnosed most the time with c-PTSD & BPD as those are the two I as diagnosed with up until my new T discovered I was more along the lines of OSDID. I think because I had therapy for 2 years with an amazing T that the other two calmed down and now maybe the OSDID is more front and center or either my other T refused to see the evidence in front of him.

IDK.....I am just trying to come to terms with this.

yes it can be confusing lol.

to get rid of some of your confusion here is a bit of information....

I see that your profile is in the USA. when you are reading about mental disorders take your location into consideration....

for example here int he USA we do not have the .........name...... CPTSD we also do not have the ..........name .........OSDID.

here is where you can find the list of what mental disorder names america changed over to in 2013.

so that right there is going to clear up a whole bunch of stuff. when you read those letters or names for mental disorders you can say to your self, Im in america so these are going to be called many different things here.

here CPTSD is called by many different names depending upon what each persons own problems are....

example

what other countries call CPTSD, in me is called Acute Stress Disorder.
what other countries call CPTSD in my wife is called just plain PTSD.
what other countries call CPTSD in a young relative is called Reactive Attachment Disorder
what another country calls CPTSD in a friend of mine is called Borderline Personality Disorder.

See what I mean... here in america diagnosing is much more individualized now. because of how america now diagnoses mental disorders you are going to be reading many things that say dissociation goes hand in hand with this or that.

Another thing that adds to this confusion when reading is that here in america dissociation problems can happen on a normal level too, and it also part of just about every mental and physical health problem.

the OSDID ---- recently when I was doing a research project I discovered many dissociative disorders you find on the internet and in books are not mental disorders. I can tell you thanks to my research project there is no diagnostic ...........label........... called OSDID in any country of the world. you can verify this yourself by sending emails to all the various countries american embassies around the world, they will be able to tell you what mental disorders, criteria and what diagnostic manuals that country uses.

there is a mental disorder in many countries of the world including the USA called

OSDD (No "I" in the disorder label)

this is not another kind of DID. its where a person has ........

less / not much dissociation problems then DID,
less or not much dissociation problems then Depersonalization / Derealization disorder,
less or not much dissociative amnesia...

in other words they have a little bit of dissociation problems and its easier to treat than the harder dissociation disorders.

I think of my OSDD like ........a cold is not so bad as pneumonia and you heal from it much faster and easier.

here is where you can find information on dissociative disorders here in america....

if you go to your nearest library you can find loads of information now on what America calls mental disorders, what their symptoms are, whether they can happen with other mental disorders too, and other statistical information ... all kinds of great information..

my suggestion on where to start.. in the reference department with a book called the DSM 5. from there you will find all kinds of info that you can branch off into your own research project on all kinds of mental disorders.

treatment providers are also a great resource for things like this. all you need to do is contact them and tell them you need information on a mental disorder and they will most likely be able to send you an information packet that they use for their clients and schools. Community awareness or if their agency does any news interviews.

You know, I just accept it for it’s nothing new...I always have been this way...so putting a label on it just means that now they can start treating it.

It takes awhile for the realization to end...everyone else is probably feeling the same way.

Did you ever suspect that this might be true? Do you now see the clues- missing memories, stuff disappearing or moving around, new outfits maybe?
