Hi @Former-Member,
I don't have experience of DID except a long talk with a man who was diagnosed with this. I found him very consistent and intelligent. Mainly I just wanted to give you a quick response to your post since I came across it. Do you have a psychiatrist you can let know of your current feelings? Or other support people you may have in place to let know that you are feeling this way? What do you think might help you stabilise again? With kind wishes. Maz

@Former-Member, perhaps consider trying to make an earlier appointment if you can. Writing about how you are feeling here is a great start. I hope some of the DID members might turn up here to reply to you before too long. You probably know some of them already. Maybe you could tag them in here to get their thoughts.
