Your Biggest Surprise?

[Cammy]

My biggest surprise truly was when my doctor (who has DID) told me that he had seen three different people visit his office over time (three different versions of me). One even has a different eye color than the rest. So he referred me to his trauma specialist who diagnosed me. I was SO shocked I bolted from her office in full denial and didnt return for two years. During those two years I began to observe myself. Sure enough one day while going through my clothing drawers I found a stack of men's clothing with the sales tags still on them. I couldn't imagine how they got there or who bought these ugly clothes. Then it struck me like a bolt - I HAD BOUGHT THEM!  No memory of it at all. It was then that I realized that the DID diagnosis was correct. Learning that I was a multiple was the biggest surprise for me. Once I accepted it, the knowing actually helped me understand myself and aided my healing. But that first step was a doozy!
