Who Needs "friends" Anyway

It is a shock learning about 'parts'. Are you diagnosed as being DID?

She did the test on me two weeks ago and I asked about it and I was told I have DID Amnesia but she still had to clarify something with a professional.

Clearly we've made it this far on our own

True enough, but I think the idea is, once alters are identified, that we learn how to thrive in a mindful way.

I'm finding it near impossible to appear "normal" to the average person because things will come out of my mouth as well as I've been told my facial expressions and body movements indicate something is going on.

Yes, even without DID (I have no amnesia, aka Structural Dissociation co-consciousness model), switches within the system can be noticable to others. The therapy most likely will help you with that.

We just want to be left alone so we can talk out loud and do whatever we want body wise without looking weird and "crazy".

Although isolation may lead to further problems. It isn't a great way to live life, although it may appear safer.

This world is scary and large for people like us.

*heavy sigh* Couldn't have said that better myself.

Besides, I'm so surprised if groups-people don't get on their own nerves.
I'm fairly sure I get on my nerves.
Multiple that by the number of me's, and the need to talk to someone who has Just Different Inpuuut, and doesn't know us that much :), comes very much forth.

Thanks @Cashew for clarifying!

OP, is your therapist knowledgeable about and trained in treating patients with DID?
