How I got diagnosed with DID:
Me: It’s hard to pick a favorite anything, really. I have several that rotate. I have to keep the different aspects of my personality into very separate and ridged sections and I don’t like them crossing any. I could give you a list of favorites, but it would be impossible to pick a single one.
My Therapist: So I’m going to have you take something called the DES-II, especially since you’ve told me this after discussing your PTSD and dissociation.
Me: Take the what now
#obviously there was more to it than just this but I still cannot believe I was so dense#to be fair the only other person I had ever met who had DID was a woman in her fifties that I worked with as a teenager#my therapist was shocked#however nobody else in my personal life was shocked when they diagnosed me#I’m still getting used to the dx so I made this blog to help accept it#so hello#actually dissociative#did system#actually did#did community#dissociative system#dissociative identity disorder
