My heart goes out to you. It is very frustrating to go to the hospital and not be understood. The sad thing is not all psychiatrists and therapists are educated with the diagnosis DID. I hope you can find someone to help you!

Ella, we went to the hospital for other reasons. I don't hate you guys and i can't live without you. I just went to get help.

i know but those doctors still dont know shit! and so help me god you start fucking cutting again i will killl you!- Ella

Hi, y'all...glad you're still with us.
(((HUG)))

I had a small stint at the hospital earlier in the week (not psych related), and got lucky they were understanding while I was upfront about the diagnosis part.

I know they make me so mad and dont understand anything. They yelled at me for crying and said thats what little kids do but i was little and then they locked me in the bad room. I hate them! I sorry they were bad to you too.

I understand this perfectly and my thoughts are out to you I have a rare form of DID i have 14 in total including myself and It is not a very easy thing for people to grasp if u need to talk im here

I'm so sorry ~~ I worked as an RN for a brief time at a hospital on the MED/SURG (general) floor. At that time, I was still just beginning to come out and talk to a therapist...I was there for four hellish months. I also have fibromyalgia, and in the time I worked there, I had a patient with fibromyalgia (a "frequent flyer") who had become dependent on hydrocodone, used to be a runner and told me he couldn't even walk two blocks any more. There was also a woman there, not in my care, who had a diagnosis of MPD/DID. I still hang my head as I write this, how attrocious the nurses talked about her in the report room. And I had to just stand there and take it ~~ all, in... ~~ I remember her saying that she had once been a nurse. It was then, I began to get mortified; would I end up like the runner and the MPD patient on disability? And even worse, did I face the future of my healthcare, trying to deal with people like my coworkers?

Well, that was in 2001 just before 9/11. So far, I can run a little bit still, about a block if I have to run to catch the bus or train. So far, I am now on disability, but not without a fierce fight....but, I am afraid, dealing with people like my coworkers, may be here to stay.

The good news is, though....I now have an extremely open-minded and understanding PCP, who is very supportive and helpful. Sometimes, just a few words from him makes me feel a lot better and stronger than several sessions with my therapist!! And more good news is, I've made it this far....and that job on the MED/SURG floor was over 10 years ago now.

My life is different, but I'm still kicking some ass!!!

Glad your out of the hospital.and I agree,very very few doctors or therapists really understand what we go thru with DID.I hope your doing ok.
