DID Did roll call?

[trying2movefwd]

We score like so on the dissociative scales test. Former therapist said I had DID. Psychiatrist doesn't believe in it. Why then did I curl up in a ball talking like a kid to my therapist with no recollection of that happening? Where do my keys go? Why can you explain something to me today and tomorrow I have no clue what it is? Sometimes I snap out of things thinking I was younger and it was. Years earlier. Have to remind myself of whats happening in the present. No clue...definitely act different when discussing trauma though... My teenager is stuck in there.

There are sites which are supportive for DID

What other sites have you found @Congruency ? I'm interested in more support beyond this one.

I have DID. I am not interested in integration and my T doesn't see that as a goal.

It's interesting, because I was on a DID forum and found it not so supportive. The site had a lot of rules and I found that difficult. If I/we ever slipped and posted as "we" we were told to stop posting until not dissociating. I do miss having others of us being able to post, especially the littles. I guess for us, the PTSD is more of a problem than the DID so this site works reasonably well for us. Although that distinction feels somewhat artificial.

Wow, that doesn't sound very supportive of someone with DID at all.

@Keen It felt triggering. I stayed for a time, because my littles liked having a place where they could talk to other people but it just became too uncomfortable to stay

I just recently viewed this topic in the forum. I read the fact page, Ive taken the tests. I ignored this section for a long time and deep down it scares me.

I know I’ve been doing things in my mind that make no sense but it was my normal, ive been abnormal all my life and don’t want to admit it or didn’t.

Memories when coming to view are so vivid. I am there. I see myself doing things or is it me and maybe not because I don’t remember sometimes.I don’t want therapy. This is hard but I am scared. Something says it’s OK.
