DID OSDD Type 1?

[Starfire]

I have what was, up until recently, called DD-NOS. I have shared this information here before, but am still looking to see if there is anyone with a similar experience. I dissociate. I lose time. It happens frequently. My aunt (whom I live with) and my therapist have both witnessed it. My therapist says that I believe that I am a child again, the age that I was abused, which varies from time to time. I have complete amnesia in these instances. The last time it happened I lost 8 hours. This is strange to me because these "child like" people in me answer to my name, have knowledge of things from that time period, and do not know who my therapist is. I cannot find any other instances of this occurring in others with DD-NOS. My therapist said that it does happen with other survivors of extreme abuse, and when pressed further, she said that I am the only client she has that has this particular issue. Is it possible that I am just on the edge of having DID? Thoughts?

Perhaps you need a second opinion from a therapist who has other clients with similar occurrences. Or if your therapist has a psychiatrist she works with or uses for referrals. That's common in my area as therapists can't write prescriptions. It is my experience that you can't heal a wound, if you don't know what's causing the infection. Take care of yourself.
