Lhight Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I recently needed a way to tell my story of life with DID PTSD and anxiety disorder, how my life got me to those diagnosis and the daily living with them. I am sure some of you can relate and give your feedback. Please be my therapist and give any personal experience you can relate to or any thoughts at all. It's a big deal being transparent and telling all your secrets and some validation or feedback would be great . I've started with my background but I know some of you have gone through the same things. Please keep an open mind and understanding heart. Ledgeliving.blogspot.com I appreciate your time and support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crtclms Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 No one here is qualified to give you therapy. Support and information, yes; professional advice no.There are members who will relate to what you're saying, and give you support. But it is illegal for us to give medical advice.I see you have a blog, but you might want to think about starting a blog here. The best way to get support in "Blogland" is to respond to other people's entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterRosie Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Also, we here at Crazyboards encourage making only one post, rather than three. That's because replies can get lost across boards otherwise and get confusing, contradictory, or far too repetitive. It becomes too difficult to keep track. So I'm going to put all of this in "introductions" as it is really you introducing yourself to us. If you want it moved elsewhere please feel free to let myself or any other member of the staff know.

Southern Discomfort Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Don't expect to find answers so in depth and tailored to you on this or any other site, that's what therapists are for. No one here, at least to my knowledge, is that clued up on to tell other people exactly what to do. No one can provide you with the tools to cope like a therapist can. Sites like this can offer additional support, knowledge that there's other people going through similar things. It also helps to have that portal to ask questions you are hesitant to ask a professional about for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhight Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 You all are clearly missing the point. I want to know I am not the only one in this world with these type of problems. Perhaps am, perhaps Im not. I just am needing to know I am not the only one who struggles with things like this. I had faith in this website that I could find someone with a bit of empathy but I may wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhight Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Apparently my post was misunderstood and the terms I used were taken literally. I am just needing to know I am not the only one who deals with these sort of things. I dont know how to start a blog on this site, Ive tried but Cant seem to get my posts to show up. Though I am 26 my ability to navigate all websites iss lacking. Im not asking for real therapy or true advice (I have doctors and therapists for tha)) just a person or two to tell me Im not alone. So if one or two of you could find it in your hearts to give some encouragment it would be greatly appreciated.

Wooster Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) As per WinterRosie's statement above, I have merged your other post in introductions into this one.Your posts are showing up.However, Rosie moved them all to this forum since they are all essentially the same post.I just did the same thing to the second introductory post you made (right above my response).Also, it appears you have been successful in making a blog here. Did you have more questions about how to use it?Feel free to send a message to any member of the moderating team if you have questions about how to navigate and use CrazyBoards.

WinterRosie Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 To answer your question: yes I have DiD. Having DiD essentially guarantees that you will also have ptsd. It also tends to go in two different big splits from there - some folks become particularly anxiety-prone, while others become depression-prone. That's not to say that one will ensure that you won't suffer from the other; rather, it says that one will tend to dominate the other but that DiD'ers are likely to have both. But which one manifests as the primary of the two will be dependent on the way that your system deals with the world. While you're not alone (you have DiD - you are so not alone that that's sort of the problem) I know how isolating it feels. I really do. I spent an obscene amount of time looking around for clues that DiD is a real dx. Sometimes it works, although I'm often disappointed and it perpetuates the cycle.

Lhight Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 Yes I was just officially diagnosed with it about 6 months ago but was losing hours, evenings and days since I was 20. I was hesitant to believe it also but my family and boyfriend seem to think its a very good fit . I definitely have the anxiety dominating aspect of i. Everyday in the afternoon my chest gets tight my thoughts become out of control I cant breathe and if it continues to escalade apparently I dissocoiate for the evening or next day. It has ruined my work and Ive tried to kill myself while in this state. My boyfriend and family is considering if inpatient is the next step since my symptoms have escaled so much so quickly. Thank you for sharing I really appreciate it. Ive never talked to anyone with the same diagnosis. (I dont talk to anyone really at all HA) so thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterRosie Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 It's hard to believe, for sure. Which makes sense because it also means taking on the implications (being hurt so badly) at the same time. It gets easier, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
