Something’s not right

DID - Diagnosis and Other Help

DID - Diagnosis and Other Help

So, I have thought for a while that I had DID, but I am still currently working towards getting a proper diagnosis. I am currently trying to keep a symptom journal for it and leave more notes for my other personalities, but I'm not sure what else to do so if anyone else has any good tips for working towards a diagnosis I would be very thankful.

Also, does anyone have any good tips for getting a system to work better with itself? I've recently been having some troubles with large emotional flashbacks and having insane arguments with my other personalities and it has been causing me to have some pretty serious meltdowns. Thankfully this has been mostly happening when I was on my own, but they have often been getting progressively worse. I really don't know what to do about it, so if anyone has any ideas, then I would be, again, very thankful for any help I can get.

Thank you for listening to me.

Hi @Felicity73 Some books I found, or I’m finding helpful.

The Dissociative Identity Sourcebook by Deborah Bray Haddock

Coping with trauma related dissociative by Suzette Boon & Kathy Steele.

You might find them in the library if you are close to one.

Take care. 💙💙💙
