Hello,
I am posting this thread to provide easier access to advice, questions and shared experiences for significant others of loved ones with DID, as well as responses from those with DID.

I am in a major depressive episode that has been going on now for over a year. I am close to losing my job because of it. I took a leave of absence from work but it didn't help and I am planning on taking another one soon to go inpatient but I don't know if it will help again. Usually I am a great worker and have no problems working, even though I always ...

Hello, I made this topic because i'm tired of my parents always intruding on my alone time. I just want them all to leave me alone. I currently live with them and there is no way I can just leave because i'm unemployed. I've tried to get a job several times now but I haven't been successful at all, it has just gotten to the point where I just want to run away, far away ...

Coming to the board , after I called for appointment with a doctor,( first ever) they never called back, So im really hoping someone here might be able to offer some suggestions. All the online tests tell me i have both, or a good bit of avoidance personality disorder and schizoid personality disorder. And my life shows it, no friends outside of a few "business" friends. From what i have read, going to work is ...

I'm almost positive I have bpd. My mom suggested it years ago, and I got incredibly upset and flew off the handle at her. Yet, I haven't been able to ignore the signs...the ones I'm sure she saw.

Recently I have gone through and incredibly tough break up with my third serious boyfriend that Icheated on several times. I mean to say that I have had 3 serious boyfriends (about 3 years each) that I ...

Hello there avoidants and visitors.

I haven't posted much here as well as a (semi-diagnosed) avoidant I've been avoiding the problems within myself, withdrawing and basically focusing on others and not doing much about anything to try and fix me. It's always just too hard huh? What excuse is it next?

But now, after basically being on the brink through avoidant life choices to date, some really bad stuff out of my control and some ...

It's no news that anyone who frequents this forum probably hates needing other people more than anything else. But what about being needed by someone else? What is your reaction to the thought of someone else needing you? Do you think you somehow seek it, either conscious or unconsciously?

Now, splitting the first question in two. Imagine a first scenario, where it's someone random who needs you, who you don't know at all and have ...

Hey, I've had an account on here before, about 4/5 years ago now, and I just thought about returning today. I logged into my old account and read the posts I'd left on forums and it made me feel so ashamed and depressed at how bad my anxiety was that I've decided to create a new account!.

So for those of you who are reading this :
I (believe I) have been experiencing symptoms of ...

Hypomanic or messed up by the medications (only one stabilizing is Gabapentin) of Prozac & Adderall. Hypomanic, rapdid cycling common ?? The meds have helped in many ways, my attention span is better I don't constantly drift off into a fog, I am not as angry & hysterical all the time but other stuff like overspending, not really caring about anything.. I am on my own, I don't have any friends and barely any family ...
