New diagnosis has left me shocked, scared and hopeless

[The-red-centaur]

I was admitted to the psych ward last night. The registrar admitting me asked me what I thought about my recent diagnosis of DID from my current psychiatrist a few weeks ago. They hadn't told me so I found out about the diagnosis then. So it was a shock. 

I was already so hopeless. The last few months have been a very rough ride for me. I'm in this bad depression I cant get out of. I don't know if I can. 

But yeh. DID. Makes sense but I didn't expect it. I am so scared of what this means for my future and recovery. Idk anymore.

Hey @The-red-centaur 

So good to hear from you but wish it was under better cicumstances.

The new diagnoses must have come as a shock to you. Hopefully it does answer some questions for you.

I hope you get the help you need hun 💕💕

Hi @The-red-centaur  - feel for you. It's the ultimate insecurity not knowing who you are, or going to be tomorrow... And it's hard because not a lot is known about DID. In fact, a lot of medicos are skeptical. Try find out all you can. 

Have you heard of Jenny Haines?

You're not alone. 

There's a couple of tv shows about DID:

"Cybill"

"United States of Tara" 

Hope being in hospital helps put you on the right path for integration, acceptance. Deep breaths. Be strong 💙
