DID diagnosis criteria

[The People]

I agree with MD on much of this. It definitely fit more in the beginning hat it does now. People thought I was moody but they didn't know the extreme because we would disappear on bad days, days being covered but unsociable or overly distraught alters. So when I told the friends they were shocked but would eventually come around and say "yup it fits."

Anxiety and stress are still very much a cornerstone of our live. Some alters in particular carry it around. We spent way too much time in H because of it and it got to the point that people thought we were faking it. And I think this is the place where DID dx overlaps with BPD. In both cases anxiety prevents or makes difficult normal interactions, relationships, challenges the ability to work etc. I often refer to it as the cornerstone of my DID as panic and anxiety cause switching.

We joined a writing group last night and think the newness caused the dissociation. What will people think of us? How would they like our writing? They liked it BTW.

FOO wouldn't notice if I had a camel growing out of my back.

BTW are you considering this for your thesis?
