Accepting my Diagnosis and Experiences - Dissociative Identity Disorder
I have been working A LOT lately on accepting my experiences with dissociation, especially my diagnosis of Dissociative Identity Disorder, so I thought I’d have a chat about it all to re-enforce in my head that it is real and valid and a totally okay thing to experience.
Note: Just to make this super clear; my struggle with accepting my Dissociative Identity Disorder was/is just that, trouble accepting it for ME, I never discredited or didn’t accept DID as a diagnosis and experience for other people and within society. As soon as I heard of these experiences, the diagnosis and similar diagnosis’ I knew that it was all valid, it was only relating it all to my own experience I had the struggle with.
Another note: I know a lot of people call there alternative personalities ‘alters', (at this time) I just happen to call mine ‘parts’ or ‘the guys’ but just to clear up any confusion it’s the same thing, that just happens to be what I call my other personalities.
One of the things that helped me get to this point of acceptance was doing 'The Dissociation Tag' if you want to find out more about what that is you could go to this playlist (I wouldn't mind, honest):
