Most people wouldn't know this by looking at me or by just talking to me, but my therapist is almost positive I have DID disorder. I'm totally at a loss, my mom is trying to put me in a mental hospital, and trying to make me break up with my boyfriend, and my grades suck, and I quit smoking. Plus I've started blacking out, well not exactly blacking out, but not knowing what is going on once I switch back in. Ugh...so much stuff is going on. I just don't know what to do....

I still don't think she would hear me.

Your dx is very real, I've had 2 dear friends with it. Only you know if the hospital is your best move. Your therapist should have referred you to someone that does treat DID, not just throw you out the door.
I am sorry you were treated that way.
DID can be difficult in many ways but, depending on your own decisions, it can be managed. Glad you found a support group you can relate to.

Well, I know what DID is but have only met one once. She seemed to do just fine. You know how you are doing and if you want to go to the doctor or not. From what I do understand is that your alters come out to protect you when you feel stress. As for your boyfreind, maybe yours and his alters all get along. (No pun intended). You are a young adult, you can make your own decisions. Start putting money away so that you can move out on your own and relieve the stress of living at home.

I'm trying to so hard. My alters don't really have a big problem with his, his however don't exactly like me. They are kinda cautious, but thats completely normal. All I know is i'm so far over my stress limit, that I want to scream until my heart gives out. It amazes me that none of my alters have come out to talk about this yet. Its bad, and I don't think I want to deal with it anymore.
