DID has scared me into hibernation

I did it again, disappeared from the blog for a bit. It has been hard. The DID has scared and depressed me.

The new job is great, but I had something happen related to my previous employer that has had me triggered. I don’t want to be triggered. I don’t want to dwell on what happened. I want to not feel this way, but, still, I am triggered.

Doc and I had a talk about my diagnosis this week where he confirmed for me that DID is my actual diagnosis. This time I did not freak out, and I was happy that I was relatively calm during our conversation. I have been feeling low about it, but I suppose that’s better than freaking out.

I’ve been losing time at home, and I’ve started to feel like DID is my terrible secret. I’ve told 4 people who are close to me about my DID. Two have been supportive, and the other two refuse to believe that it’s a real condition. The 4 people I told are people close to me, and it makes me reluctant to tell anyone else, not that it’s information that I would freely share with people, but still …

Though I am not doing that great I think the new job has helped things a bit. I feel like I have more of a purpose there, and I certainly am motivated to be there even when I feel foggy.

I am beginning to believe that things will always be incredibly difficult …

Am I twelve?

When I can’t sleep I have this strange habit of downloading music from itunes in the wee hours of the morning. I woke up one recent morning and noticed that I downloaded songs from Glee. I laughingly conveyed this to a friend of mine who just said, “What are you twelve?”

Well, actually, yes, at times I am twelve, and five, and other ages I’m not aware of yet.

In all honesty, I don’t mind that the 12 year old likes to hear Glee songs because the 40 year old me feels dumb downloading them. So, it secretly pleased me to find these songs on my phone.

Sometimes there are some strange benefits to DID.

What to do with Sabrina

I told Doc today about Sabrina.

We got off on rocky footing.

I cried, felt misunderstood.

He apologized.

Apparently, I need to get to know her.

But how?

I want to do the right thing, but I am scared.

Shutting my laptop down now as I am freaked out on many levels.
