In reply to DID diagnosis after other diagnoses., posted by deirdrehbrt on May 27, 2003, at 21:25:04

A close friend of mine discovered that she had about 20 separate personalities a couple of years ago. It kind of explained her moodiness, actually. : D


It seemed like the end of the world at the time -- she kept switching at work, and had to quit her job -- but now she's doing great on no meds at all. The meds just made her worse, side effects with no real 'effects.' Sometimes anti-psychotics are used, but this is not a case of perceiving reality differently than it is, so I don't see why they are used. This is a case of your personality literally being fragmented, and seeing it the way it is.

My friend gone to regular therapy and has worked on helping the different personalities 'cooperate.' She went through a lot in the beginning, esp. when the personalities would fight with each other. In the last year everything has settled down and she's working again. It took about 3 years to get to this place.
