Hello again! <waves>

Hi everyone, sorry been quiet. Hopefully things will be better now and I will be able to be around more.

Earlier this month, I got a formal diagnosis, as there was nothing on my medical notes. Anyway, that has since changed. The Consultant gave me a dx of Adaptive DID. Basically, I adapted to what had happened to me, in regards to my alters. I am high functioning with no issues in regards my alters. They were more than happy that my alters are protective and have a calming influence over me. They said that therapy would be of no benefit, so I have been discharged.

This dx made me happy, I got answers as they explained more about DID and how it affects me. My alters are also happy with the dx.

Edit: The journal that some of you know that we started, was a dead dog from the start. It never got off the ground. I found it, all the dividers and anything that written in had been torn out. I don't know which alter did it. It wasn't working for us, so I suppose they thought no point in keeping that system.

Hey Purple Haze, welcome back!

That sounds really cool, the Dx and the way things are working for you all.

Good news of discharge. Are you worried if future problems come up?

My doctor's note, I'm still currently signed off sick but looking for part time, said "bipolar dissociative disorder" I looked it up, I'm pretty sure they just made that up. I have a psychiatrist appointment at the end of the month and I'm going to talk to him about my diagnosis. It's never bothered me before, schizophrenia or schizoid effective disorder, which moved to Bipolar after being without meds for years - it didn't bother me because I thought there's nothing they can do but since finding the DID therapy has made some advances I feel like I ought to look into it and therefore my diagnosis.

What will they do if the DID starts to give you problems?

Thank you Viola

Hi Sarandipity and thank you. No, I am not worrying about the future, just focusing on the now. If the DID starts to give me problems, just have to go back to GP and ask to be referred to the Mental Health unit again. Consultant said, they'll see me again, if anything changes. That is no problem. I hope you manage to get things worked out for you.

We appreciate all of your kind words to Purple Haze. We, her alters are happy with the dx.
