I've experienced severe dissociation ever since I was a kid and in the last 3 or so years it has become kinda chronic (idk how to explain it). I also have episodes where I can't move/talk, though they don't happen that often. Anyway I started going to this therapist who specialises in dissociative disorders and after about 5-6 sessions she started talking about alters/systems. I was really interested in DID few years ago so know I got the "diagnosis" (she hasn't finalized anything yet but we've been working on the alters for a while now ) way faster than normal since most times it takes years to get one, which is one of the MANY reasons why I'm still really skeptical. My psychaitrist who is in contact with her seems to be on board with it too. I know the disorder is supposed to "hide" from the person but I genuinely don't think the diagnosis is accurate.
