anyone else who has started getting more gaps after accepting they might not... be as non-dissociative as they thought?
like at the least i know i have dissociative symptoms, if they are complex or not is something i want to get evaluated by a professional, (not because i dont believe in researched self dx, its just a thing of comfort and validation tbh, anything else gives us a massive spike in denial and doubt and only hurts us in our current situation, so right now i just try to accept what comes up with an open mind (also it doesnt hurt to get a dx because we regularly apply for disabled benefits))
but like. even just accepting that we experience these symptoms and the fact that im more aware of things have made us way more switchy and i dont think we have ever had as many gaps as we do lately (also a cause for that might also be the big trigger on tuesday but my point stands nonetheless)...
a video that has also helped us is the "What Being Not Dissociative Is Like" videos from the CTAD Clinic.
