Relationships are so important for those with severe, chronic PTSD from child abuse.
If you agree, please stay in therapy and rule out Dissociative Disorders with someone who specializes in it; that is my advice today.
Why? Mine was never caught because the questions on the SCID-D are not representative of real Dissociation.
This is so important because relationships are THE source of happiness when people love each other and take the time to work on building a solid foundation based on trust and communication and mutual support, plus having as much fun together as is humanly possible.
Even with PTSD, having a good relationship can happen. But since I found out that I have DID, I am feeling betrayed by the way PTSD is not being dealt with, at least in my experience, in ways that takes comorbidity seriously.
My last point is this, You will be the last one to know you have a Dissociative Disorder. Everyone else will know before you do, and when your T nevers suspected, but your long-term friends, co-workers, or SO tells you they see a pattern, listen. T's do NOT see you enough to know you very much at all.
