Today, I will be seeing my youngest daughter's therapist. I'm just a little nervous because these things always turn out to be about me. I have DID (MPD), Bipolar 1, Borderline Personality disorder, and Gender Identity disorder. A few weeks ago, there was a meeting with the whole family, my ex, my two daughters, me, and my older daughter's therapist.
It seems like most of those meetings are about the Gender issues, and the DID is skimmed over. I don't know if I should try to emphasize the DID, because that is the issue that I feel is most likely to cause real problems, or what? I do know that I feel as if I am on trial. It always seems like these people are trying to decide if I am a threat to the safety of my own children.
I guess that if I was a threat, I would want my children safe, but I don't believe that I am. If someone decided that I were a threat, that would be very difficult for me to handle, if I could handle it at all.
Well, the appointment is at 4:00 EST, so I am going to grab something for a headache, rest with my cat and teddy bear, and try to calm down some.
Dee.
