Hi everyone. I've been lurking on and off for a couple of years and decided to finally make a post. Not really sure what to say. I have CPTSD, OCD, DID, buckets of anxiety, and treatment-resistant depression. I'm on SSDI, live in subsidized housing, and work two shifts a week in a residential foster care facility. I have an awesome therapist who does IFS and EMDR who I started seeing about two years ago. She's the one who diagnosed me with DID, which was a big adjustment. I've been in treatment and on meds for about 18 years and still really struggle to get through the day.
My closest IRL friend moved away a few months ago and I've been really feeling her absence. We used to have a video game night every week. I'm an introvert and it's hard to get out of the house. My work shifts are also alone so I don't meet people at work. I met @Chris-duck on a forum a billion years ago and she told me about this place, so I guess partly hoping to find some of that same kind of community here.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks for posting. It's so helpful to read different experiences when it's literal mud out there... I actually started calling my dissociative states "Going mudding" because of how absolutely disoriented I become and how impossible it is to get out of it.
