B2c, you are so welcome and thanks for the compliment. I have thought and read a great deal about DID. I have also been studying the brain and how it functions. I am coming to some of my own conclusions. I believe, and this is just my own hypothsis is that DID is unique to the individual as their own brain is to them. We each deal with the trauma that sets it off. We have an ability to dissociate that is greater than the average population. That is a given. But what isn't a given is the circumstances that surround each person and the developmental stage or state they are in which is unique to them due to how each person develops according to their own set of genetics. So it would stand to reason that DID for each person could look, feel and be different and may share some similarities while feeling totally different too. And for docs they only have what other patients have told them. I don't know about you, but for me, there is a huge amount I have not shared. I don't think there is enough known. My brain just does some quirky things at quirky times. It is not medical. I have had CT, MRI, and all kinds of tests neurological. I am on a meds for seizure prevention yet my fugues continue. I was on so high a dosage I forgot 4 letter words like stay and step. But the fugue states continued and no one noticed, not my husband who has lived with me for 20 plus years. You would think he would notice.
I told my pdoc I think secrecy was so important to me, that my inners took names, I know some of them but in public they use my name. It is the way it is. They have told me the name. Now my p-doc has had limited exposure to them. We are all still in protection mode, no real trust yet. They called him the other day and cancelled an appt. my husband had with him. I did not know it happened. And p-doc did not any difference either. Ha they have his number.
Anyway, I am glad I have helped you. I found a very good article online that helped me think about did. I will post it if.
