hello eveyone. im just curious. Does dissciative disorder or Multiple personality disorder really exist? If you are suffering from this disease, can u describe it and how do you cope with it?
Are you wondering about yoursel? Are you studying this for a class?

The way I first came to start questioning whether I had it or not was when working with a sexual abuse therapist. The therapist questioned whether I ever felt like I had other parts to me. I said "yes of course I do I have parts that suit the particular situations I am in" However this was not what she was suggestiing. She asked me to go home and do some homework betwene our two sessions with my left hand to see what came up. This was the first time I actually met my core members. Hoever a few yrs later (2001) I met with my current psychiatrist and he did the tests and gave me the diagnosis. However, I fought tooth and nail for 3 yrs to prove him wrong. In the end I couldnt deny the evidence.
Like i said I wish it didnt exist but in all honesty imho if my later personalities were not around I have no doubt that Ild be in a grave by now knowing what they actually went trough
