In reply to at what age did many people start to feel ill?.., posted by sleepygirl on October 3, 2006, at 21:44:01
Hi Sleepygirl,
do you mean ill- with emotional problems? i'm coming in late on this question, in case you're still checking answers, what people think-
i was about fifteen when i first began to see a psychotherapist. My mother noticed something was wrong. When i think back i don't remember much about why- except i did things totally out of my personality. After i saw the T for a month or so he wanted me to come twice a week. i got really scared at my appt there when the T in the next door office had a family - parents and kid about my age - they had a big fight that spilled into my therapy session- the kid was really upset and they were running after him. Maybe i stopped going after that-- also i don't think my mother could afford twice a week. i was so nervous that what i said would be told to my parents too.remember having parts come and change my life, change schools - having so many opposites in my life, shy and an 'A' student but managed to get thrown out of school, running away from home and things that now i would think a teenager was really troubled would do. i was dx with DID as an adult- much later - but i can think of parts that are here now- just like then- they're with me the same. They haven't grown up like the adult parts have.
What got you thinking about this? Just curious.
maybe my answer doesn't count because it's a trauma disorder.Take care,
kerria
