ok so i've been researching my diagnosis - reading like crazy. i am on my third book on the topic, "Multiple Personality Disorder from the Inside Out" which is a compilation of quotes from others with DID that have the courage to support others in the midst of their own struggles. It's put out by Sidran Press and i'd highly recommend it.
anyway, in the midst of reading this book i found a quote that very much explains how i've been feeling lately and i wanted to share it here. idk if i have other readers or if someone might stumble on here, but if they do, i hope they find this helpful... or at least that my own readers know a little better how i feel.
"The aspect of MPD [aka DID] that all counselors, friends and support people should understand is the extreme pain it creates. Pain that is incomprehensible. Not only the physical pain, but the extreme mental anguish of knowing that your family enjoys hurting you, that they do not feel any remorse, and do not care if it kills you or maims you for life. The fact that your pain brings them pleasure is crippling.
- Louise H."
