Moriel 🏳️⚧️i (Sarah) am having complex but good feelings right now. Just got out of our second appointment with the new therapist. At one point he mentioned that there's a lot of fake DID online and i told him how i often wonder if this is actually real for me or if i am just making it up somehow. He told me that he thinks it's definitely real for me and that i do have some sort of dissociative disorder, and i started crying. On the one hand it felt like a relief to be affirmed by someone who specializes in this stuff, but i also told him that i didn't really want it to be true. i don't. But the evidence just keeps piling up and getting harder to ignore. So i am feeling both relieved and anxious about this at the same time, but mostly i just look forward to talking more with him. He also told us (he spoke to both me and Crow) that he is also a system, which i suspected but is nice to have confirmed.
