Today, I will be seeing my youngest daughter's therapist. I'm just a little nervous because these things always turn out to be about me. I have DID (MPD), Bipolar 1, Borderline Personality disorder, and Gender Identity disorder. A few weeks ago, there was a meeting with the whole family, my ex, my two daughters, me, and my older daughter's therapist.
It seems like most of those meetings are about the Gender issues, and the DID is skimmed over. I don't know if I should try to emphasize the DID, because that is the issue that I feel is most likely to cause real problems, or what? I do know that I feel as if I am on trial. It always seems like these people are trying to decide if I am a threat to the safety of my own children.
I guess that if I was a threat, I would want my children safe, but I don't believe that I am. If someone decided that I were a threat, that would be very difficult for me to handle, if I could handle it at all.
Well, the appointment is at 4:00 EST, so I am going to grab something for a headache, rest with my cat and teddy bear, and try to calm down some.
Dee.

Yes, have a nice meditation or relaxation. I imagine it must be very nerve wracking to feel like you're under scrutiny.
Stay calm and focused and come vent here if you need to afterwards.
Sending good thoughts your way.

It went SOOOOO well! I met the therapist, and she asked who I saw. I told her, and was told that they used to work together some time ago. She made the session so easy for me and my daughter, I couldn't have asked for more.
I didn't have to convince anyone that DID exists. She knew how it can be difficult to deal with for the family, and helped us both out. I can't say enough good things about this woman. She trusted me in what I felt safe to reveal to my kids. She knows that making kids keep secrets is bad. It was truly an awesome session with my daughter.
I so needed this.
Dee.
