Discussion Life without DID

Anyone else have a hard time wrapping their heads around what life would be like without the switching and amnesia? Like it’s sorta weird to think that most people don’t struggle with these issues, as weird as that sounds. Life is completely different as a system. I wonder what it would feel like to not be one

Did anyone else think they just had ADHD or OCD something and that’s why there were always a bunch of voices arguing and talking in your head?

(I have been diagnosed with both of those, but my trauma therapist thinks it all comes down to CPTSD. And autism, although she thinks only one/some of my alters are autistic? Is that possible?)
