i always thought i was DDNOS but in a passing conversation (about something else) i heard my T refer to me as DID.
but i'm mostly co-conscious. what's weird is i know what's going on WHILE its going on but when my T and i are doing 'parts' work, almost as soon as the session is over (if i was dissociated) i don't remember conversations or topics when i 'switch' back.
so at the end of my sessions now, my T is good at "recapping" our session. so that i can leave with (main point she try to get across).also, sometimes i'll have snippits of memory come back from a session but can't fill in the blanks so some of my T sessions are discussion another session (!hah)
try to keep all that mess straight.overall i have a pretty good sense about things now. before i was Dx i was trying to fit my 'odd' mood swings into my BP dx. it just wasn't fitting and meds didn't really help.
once i was properly dx and i learned to decipher what was a 'switch' and what was a mood alteration, the meds seemed to work better. and Therapy has just been SO great.but lucked out with last T and with this one!
hope to talk more with you!
WELCOME!b2c.
