Doubting DID.. So many doubts

With the recent events, I hope we're living in a simulation too but at the same time that makes me think that whatever reality we were trying to escape from is worse than the one we're currently living in.

Yeah I sympathize with doubting that I have DID too. I feel the fact I don't have a Dx for it is part of it for me, but also just thinking that I'm nuts that I have people living inside my head. Sometimes, I think that I am doing it for attention but then realize that that sounds ridiculous because I wouldn't exploit a serious mental illness for attention from Internet people. It just becomes a never ending cycle of doubt so I understand how you feel.

i like where this conversation is going with the matrix discussion. one time i was walking home and started dissociating because everything around me felt so virtual and fake suddenly. it's weird.

but regardless, i have a friend with schizophrenia, and she never displayed any traits of DID.
i also think though, it may be possible to have both? if you're worried about one over the other, consider the possibility that my T has told me that, if you have many overlapping symptoms, chances are, you have both. also consider the fact that you don't need to fit textbook definitions of disorders 100% in order to have them.

DID is just a label invented by people looking at us from the outside. The label isn't the experience of being multiple. They changed the label once already and they may change it again but we will still be us. We are a multiple person having a multiple experience. They can call it anything they want but it just changes them not us.

This thread, How do I know my alters are real?, may apply to some but probably not all of your doubts.
