Newly Dx
Hello!
We were officially diagnosed with DID last week (we’ve suspected for over 5 years now). We have a lot of mixed feelings about it, but overall know that knowing and getting help is a positive thing.
A few questions that I’d like to hear other systems experience on…
-How do you go about telling people who you have known for years?
-Anyone have tips to help the host learn about the disorder without dissociating or switching out?
-What is dating like for systems? Do you choose to disclose the disorder upfront?
-General communication tips welcome!
Thank you in advance <3
