Hi I am new to this site and am trying to figure out how and where I can go to get help. I am 34 years old and have struggled with BIID body identity integrity disorder or transable for almost as long as I can remember. I have no idea where the need to be in a wheelchair and amputee came from but that is what I struggle with daily. I do not feel as though my legs should work or even be a part of me as well as my left arm. I would compare the feelings I have to transgender because I feel like I am in the wrong body. This is real and has consumed my life. Now I know that I would never hurt myself in any way but I have used a wheelchair before and it was an amazing feeling until I got up out of it. I have been to so many therapists and pschyiatrists and no one seems to know enough about this to help me out although some have tried but have not been successful. This is something that I cannot control or figure out how to deal with it and am really looking for anything I can get. I have been to all the websites on this issue and I know I'm not the only one but still feel so alone. Please let me know if anyone can help.

Hello Bandit, and welcome to PC!
I'm sorry I am unfamiliar with this disorder -- I had to look it up to find out more about it before I could respond to your post. It sounds extremely difficult to deal with, and I'm very sorry you're going through this. I know you said that you have checked out all the websites, and I don't doubt you at all. But I saw this and was wondering if you saw it also? http://www.biid.org/meetings.php?lan=en There's no year, but it says it's annual, so I wonder if they'll do one again this up coming summer? I think i saw that you were in NJ, so NYC wouldn't be that far away, depending on where in NJ you are. Good luck. Feel free to keep posting and venting here; we'll do our best to offer support! |
