DID

Hi

I am 45 years old, I like to read, and trying out all things in the arts and crafts area.

I live DID and C-PTSD as a result of highly organised and transgenerational severe abuse throughout childhood and adolesence.

Also diabetes 1 since I was a kid, fibromyalgia for as long as I can remember but diagnosed when I was 35, osteoarthritis in knees and hips diagnosed at the same time, and a few years after I developed psoriatic arthritis (no, that did not make either the diagnosis or the symptoms of fibro go away, and you're not the first to ask as this can just be confusing)

So I am used to living with fatigue, pain, nausea, thd fun package of 'self-regulation' that comes with diabetes type 1. And chaos, hypervigilence, etcetera in the mental department. I've long made my peace with that and try to make tomorrow a little better by coping well today (and then there's those days...)

But last Autumn I got a covid-19 infection and developed post covid/long corona. I have been told by thd medics that my autonomous nerve system has been affected by the virus during the acute infection state. That leads to different symptoms for everyone, fatigue being the most prevalent.

In my case the symptoms are that mild exercise or stress can cause severe illness that may last from hours to days (pem), palpitations when I stand for more than 10 seconds (oi/pots, shortness of breath, nausea and digestive problems, muscle tension and spasms, problems expressing myself, problems with concentration, coordination, memory, focus, language processing and reading. And of course the fatigue which is FAR worse than I am used to.

I feel powerless and lost.

I hope to find some peers here who know what I'm going through.

I’ve spent most of my life surviving things people couldn’t see.
Autism. OCD. BPD. Dissociation. Panic. Grief. Exhaustion.
Things that don’t show up on scans, or fit neatly into one diagnosis code on the first try.

I wasn’t made for the systems I’ve been pushed through — and honestly, neither were most of us.

I’m writing this blog because I’m tired of having to explain my existence to people who only listen with a clipboard.
I’m writing it because other people like me — people who are neurodivergent, disabled, mentally ill, or just deeply sensitive — deserve to see themselves reflected somewhere.

This is going to be messy, personal, maybe a little angry, and definitely honest.
I want to talk about misdiagnosis. About shame. About masking. About how hard it is to just exist in a world not built for us.

Some days this space will be heavy. Some days it’ll be hopeful, or funny. Some days it’ll be a mix. And if that’s something you need — even just a little — then I’m really glad you’re here.

Hi, my name is rearips. I'm looking for anyone with DID, please. I'm a teenager and I have been diagnosed with DID. I'll be honest and say I had no clue DID was a thing- I thought it was fake. Only a few months after I got diagnosed I realized it was real and that's what my alters were trying to say. My therapist teaches me about terms like dissociation and switching and I learned more online. I don't know where to go because nobody is really... with me? I feel alone. I'm in the Middle East so basically learning about mental health is non existent. If you have this please talk to me. I never used this it automatically put some of these tags.

Hi, my name is CrimsonFlowers. I want to get a diagnosis for Bipolar, Depression, PTSD, OCPD, BPD, and DID

I have been dealing with a situation that has culminated in my son facing criminal charges as well as civil penalties involving vulnerable adult abuse against me. It is all finally coming to a head and hopefully the end is in sight without completely distorting our parent child relationship. My current situation is that the extreme distress has caused my first physically overwhelming consequences. A week ago today I broke out in hives that keep getting worse. Some of them started blistering yesterday. I am in an assisted living facility and a histamine diet is not possible. The residence claims they can’t do that and stay within state mandates. Benadryl is not doing anything. I don’t know what else I can do for some relief. Suggestions and ideas no matter how crazy they might be? I do not have a current physician that is familiar with MCAS. I have an appointment with a new allergist/immunologist but not for another 6 weeks! I have so many symptoms besides this both mental and physical health related. But this is the most urgent at this point. ANY and ALL suggestions are welcome… #PTSD #MastCellActivationDisorder #Histaminediet #vulnerableadult #Abuse # #Hives #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #Anxiety #DID #MentalHealth #Insomnia #MajorDepression #HEDS #AutonomicDysfunction

I have to say that I’m really disappointed that many of the groups I joined aren’t really very active. This is such a great platform for support. I wish more people would use it consistently.
