Re: Taking the plunge
Hi @Maggie
How are you going today? I find DID interesting.. and a little confusing and wonder too, if there is kind of a continuum or scale like iwth autism/depression from one situation to the next? I know i share traits/symptoms of my mi (not did) with others that have it but also feel as though my experience of it is unique and not something im very well able to describe to anyone as such... because im not great at understanding my own inner world/self. Sometimes i have had experiences where i have felt younger than i am which is hard to explain and like im not myself but dont identify as DID though i do have dissociative problems in general because of the abuses i went through as a child/into adulthood i guess. I don't know how
I'm glad you started this thread and hope you don't mind me joining in and learning as well.
Hope you are ok, here with you if you need anything

Re: Taking the plunge
She's just gone a bit quiet, that's all @Former-Member .... I am probably being a bit overly sensitive here ..... 😊💕
It's good to see you out and about a little more. We have missed you on other themrrads while things have been so busy for you in recent months.
I am heading out for a walk now, and hopefully a bit of a snooze after that. Will catch up with you again a bit later, I hope.

Re: Taking the plunge
I have been answering a lot of new comers threads frequently here everyday - for years. Am still active 😊 If others have a lot of support on their threads I will gravitate mainly to new comers who don't as I discern their need is greater at that time. Enjoy the walk and snooze @Faith-and-Hope Here anytime you want to talk xx

Re: Taking the plunge
@Faith-and-Hope Thankyou, you are very in tune. Yesterday became confusing on many levels with visitor who stayed till 11pm. I'm trying to sort it before writing it as, she's all over the place and may be unwell. I'm making the most of this morning as I'm sensing another long visit and take over. Uhhh. Arrr

Re: Taking the plunge
Hi @Former-Member, great to see you here. as far as I know DID is difficult to diagnose, also many psychiatrists won't go there because of the things you mentioned, hard to explain understand and it's just to out there. Lol. It develops in very young children, too young to face the abuse. I just knew I was different, odd. I personally find the media have frightened rather than explained DID. I don't know much about autism. The child in you will be able to guide you, they are the ones who know, believing them is another thing. I have finally learned to,listen, believe and , I'm trying to embrace these little ones inside. I also don't have a sense of self, maybe because there are selves. I'm trying to work that one out, I should say we are trying, as in my inner family.
