My (new) husband (though we've been best friends and/or a "couple" for about 10 years now) is somewhere in the 70's .. probably he WOULD have been diagnosed "DID" - especially a couple years ago .. now he's more just "DI" .. ;) .. NOT presently in "disorder" or "crisis" ..
This is what we have come to like to refer to as a "healthy multiple" (YES, we believe this is possible with or without "full" integration) ..
I am in the high 30's on this scale though not "DID" at all .. Yes, I am likely "ADHD" .. The degree to which I am "more" dissociative than the "average" person has been, I think, a blessing inside our relationship and helping my man identify (and "normalize") his own "issues" and we have worked hard together to create structure and order and internal communication and a cohesive narrative ("organizing" his past traumas and interpreting or RE-interpreting them) for HIS story (and also for mine) ..
Both of us have "attachment" issues, and we work very hard to both overcome those as well as NOT nurture some kind of co-dependency with each other .. For us, part of this works well with each having our own defined "space" ..
We strive every day for our own and each others' "best selves," believing healing is not an elusive dream, and navigating the ups and downs of our respective "triggers" .. not always perfectly, but always better. :)
