Hey Bluegrass....
I can relate to some of the stuff in this article...

A person diagnosed with DID feels as if she has within her two or more entities, or personality states, each with its own independent way of relating, perceiving, thinking, and remembering about herself and her life.

Yeah...
me and my addict...
I've felt for some time that I operate on two levels...
the one I present to the world... and the one I try to cope with...
I have never "lost time"..
but.. I know that I suffer with some of the lessor symptoms...
I have never gone to therapy....
I've tried to deal with my mental issues with God and the Program...
I know from trying to understand my condition that ... the only way out is through...
I have to let the past come forward...
I have to let the memories come...
I have to live it all over again...
Do I feel bloody sorry for myself... ????
you bet..
It's been making my life a living hell...
But.. I will not quit.
Whatever labels we tack on ourselves.. or get tacked on....
We can't let it hold us there....
I am glad that you brought up this topic...
