New to everything- low end did?

Hello. I am “new” meaning, I just had the conversation with my psychiatrist regarding my “dissociative” tendencies. Truthfully; we’re both in agreement I am likely on the very low end spectrum. Naturally he had a great word he used that I feel accurately describes me, but I forget it. For now, we will will say extra compartmentalized. I have very “boxed” sections of my life- and I look at them and feel about them very differently. In many way I fall into the stereotypical did background, trauma as a young child, abuse, family is a mess, dead sister... you name it. But to me.... it’s very..... well it is what it is. I have sorrow and emotions, but I’m a bit too withdrawn from all the situations to classify as entirely normal.
I also have wicked anxiety, that has been managed with Prozac for the last 6 months and has been going great.
I guess really, I’m dying to understand myself. I want to know about myself. I guess that’s a part of us too? I have no one other than my dr who I can talk to, confide in, and otherwise get input from. I greatly appreciate any information, input, words of wisdom, resources etc you could alll point me to.
Thanks!

Hi there, & welcome!

The DID forum is way more active than this one, and whether you have some form of DID, or OSDD / DDNOS, the treatment and everything is all the same, so you might have more feedback in the other forum.

Having said that, depending on what kind of resources etc you're looking for, there's a few websites we've found helpful, in addition to this one.

http://did-research.org
http://traumadissociation.com
https://www.pods-online.org.uk
https://www.discussingdissociation.com

Those four have reams and reams of info, maybe too much. The first one is our fave.

If you haven't got a journal, start one. We use a simple notebook and pen, some folks prefer using the computer or whatever. Just a private place you can write down whatever is on your mind, feelings, whatever. Having that helped convince my co/host that this stuff was all for real - going into the journal and finding entries she didn't write, in different handwriting, was a real eye opener for her lol.

If you have any specific questions or stuff, try on the DID forum for more / faster feedback.

Good luck!
