I'm 18. I was self diagnose d.i.d for a long time. at first I didn't even know it was d.i.d
at age 7 my mom noticed I started talking about "Sara" I'm Sara.
at age 13 it was lily.
now I'm Scarlett and I am host.
in the beginning I thought I was having imaginary friends. at age 7 that was normal. hearing voices in my head and crap? imaginary friends had to be
but years went by and I still heard them. I blacked out alot. I ended up in places without realizing how I got there. ow as always confused and couldn't remember things. and everyone said that I said or did something but I didn't believe them because I didn't remember.
but I have always been into psychology. so one day i was doing research on things when I came across d.i.d
I said...hey...that's what I experience.
I told people about it. that what I experience is like d.i.d
no one believed me. called me a liar. attention seeking. told me to stop searching things (I can't tho, I'm into psychology) and self diagnosis is bad
but I knew something was wrong.
the pattern was always the same tho...if I told a psychiatrist what it hink it was, it was an automatic no and that I'm doing it for attention or whatever.
but the last therapist I took a different approach. I instead thought, ok everyone says I don't have d.i.d..maube I don't? maybe it's something else I didn't think of.
so instead I told my new psychiatrist every single thing I experience. from every age.
we talked about my trauma and everything
and for the first time...someone told me...
"I believe you have d.i.d"
I never even mentioned d.i.d nor key words.
and I'm so shocked...I wonder if this would help me...
