Thanks for your response, Craig. I could relate to quite a bit of what you said. Has this been the extent of your dissociation and do you just live with it now? Was this the extent of your dissociation in the past and how was it treated? Did Braun assume if you dissociate you must have alters and try to force them out of you? Do patients who dissociate without DID end up going through the full painful process of DID, trying to fabricate personalities and memories? I am currently trying to find out how much I dissociate, and IF there is something more - or less (like anxiety). Fortunately, I tend to believe only those things that seem to be true. UNfortunately, this makes for a lot of questions because symptoms overlap so many diagnoses. I am so glad to find someone else who relates to the dissociative symptoms that I do want to find out what else I can. Whatever else you wish to add, please do so.
