Thank you- I'm not sure for what exactly.

I don't have DIDs.
I was sexually abused as a child over years by two older brothers. I was later abused by two husbands.

I don't have DIDs, but the little girl part of me takes over at times and I do foolish, dangerous things.

I don't have DIDs.
I feel safe in this group. I don't feel judged. I just feel safe.

So thank you all for this place of peace.

Having different "states of mind" could possibly be different from D.I.D. However, I'm not sure how too terribly different.

Regardless of whether you do or don't have D.I.D....welcome to the group. Feel free to ask questions, participate in conversations, offer potential help.

Childhood abuse(of any kind) can lead to all sorts of different "states of mind"...so there is potential for you to have anything...INCLUDING D.I.D. Whether you only have traits of it, or an actual full case.

*tries to find where I was headed with this* Ahhh. Again, welcome to the group. Hope you feel accepted and comfortable here. :)

Oh I forgot to add. I haven't been diagnosed with D.I.D. But according to my friend the doctors are stupid, cause I DO have it...and my psychiatrist acknowledges that I have it.

I just haven't been formally diagnosed with it. :)

I haven't been formally diagnosed with anything other than PTSD, either, but I had a feeling there was something about me that was beyond the PTSD treatment.

I have a little girl who comes out sometimes when I get scared. Usually I can hold her in until I get to bed at night, and then she will take over and cry and cry for hours. She used to have awful flashbacks, but working with my PTSD helped her finally get over those.

Every person is different, but I'm so glad we all have this place to explore and figure ourselves out with the help of others who are on the same journey. I'd like to add my thanks to everyone here for helping ME finally feel okay having more than one of me inside.
