need some advice, not really about SI

My pdoc finally told me that she thinks I might have DID, but without more testing and exploration, she's not really sure. She suggested I find a therapist. This is not an entirely new concept to me, I've sort of suspected it for awhile now. Here's the dilemma. I just graduted from college and I'm currently in a very unstable situation, because I have to move to find a job, and my lease is up in August, but I still haven't found a job and I have no idea what I'll be doing or where I'll be living. This of course brings it's own problems. Anyway, if I start with a therapist in the this area now, I will have to move in 6 weeks, but if I try and wait until I've moved and found a job and settled in, I might not survive. I just don't know what to do. It makes sense to start serious therapy when I am in a stable situation, but how in the world am I supposed to get myself into a stable situation when I don't know what is happening to me in 6 weeks?

i think that it would be a good idea for you to start seeing a therapist now because he/she might be able to get you to a stable place where you able to better make decisions. and then if you do have to change therapists, they might be able to refer you to someone else and transfer your information. just an idea.

For me, the DID is a coping mechanism. Different people inside me handle different situations without me losing time. I've been able to make it to this point in my life because of them. It's a creative way of handling things too difficult to face otherwise. I tried to tell my T and he told me there was no such thing. I have been careful ever since to protect myself (and those inside) from people who aren't open to this 'disorder.' (Although I personally think it brings order into my life.)

If you can find an open minded T who won't put you down or condemn the DID, you'll be lucky. I wish you the best.
