Diagnosed at 65 With DID

Years of childhood sexual,physical and emotional abuse left me with years of depression, anxiety & PTSD. In Jan of 2019 I was diagnosed with DID. My life and how I lived it finally made sense.The things I did through the years & didn’t know why. The crisis lines called with what seemed like someone else telling a story of abuse. I did a great job of dissociating & blocking the trauma. When I was first diagnosed with depression years ago the docs never considered PTSD or DID. Some of them to this day don’t believe it. Well I am here to say IT IS REAL. Don’t take my word for it. Ask my granddaughter who took a double take at me during facetime when I felt my face change with another presence. Ask my therapist when I stopped talking mid sentence while an energy of one of my alters took over. I wish I was diagnosed properly in my earlier years but at least I have answers that make sense and found a good therapist and meds.
