I have watched Sybil. The one made before I was born and the 2010 one with Jessica Lange. I have read when the rabbit howls and first person plural. They were basically just like Sybil. No thats not what freaks me out really because I know that its not that bad with me. It is unsettling that I may not have strong parts is still more than Id like to deal with. I watched Sybil when I was 11 and was triggered badly by the SA.i just feel like I have enough on my plate trying to see my daughter. Talking to her again is stressful because I cant mention when she was young per her step mom, being in the group home with very little support with family, wanting to go to school but not knowing if I can etc.

Well, remember that having a diagnosis doesn't actually change anything. It doesn't change your symptoms. You are the exact same person you were before. I guess what I'm saying is the diagnosis doesn't add more to your plate - and it sounds like you already had a DDNOS previously, so it's not really something new. Do you think you might be catastrophizing a bit?
I would talk to your therapist about prioritizing trying to see your daughter. Emphasize that this is your primary goal, so stabilization and coping skills is what you want to work on at the moment, not digging around in parts stuff. That should probably be the first thing, anyway, even if you wanted to do parts stuff. I hear you about being triggered by the SA in Sybil! |

I just feel even less stable. I know it logically doesnt make sense.

Well, if you feel upset, you feel upset. I hope your therapist can help you figure out how to cope with the feelings that are coming up so that they feel more manageable and don't interfere with your efforts to see your daughter.
