I'm up now, too. It must get really lonely when you're on a completely different time zone than a lot of your friends. Heck, it's hard enough for me to keep straight the time different between here and California.
You know, I try to imagine what different types of problems feel like, but DID is really hard. I've read what people post, and I've read about the disorder, but it's hard to imagine what it feels like. And I would guess that for someone who values and is so skilled with logic, it must be very difficult. Because you're right, it doesn't seem to be that logical. I hope that you can find your own meaning and your own logic for it.
I'm glad you're going to call. I don't do well on the phone. I tend to get all rambly and forget things. I find it helps to write down what I want to say, either in bullet points or in a script of sorts. Maybe that would help?
I wish we could reach out and protect you from rejection. I'd like to believe that they wouldn't reject you unless they truly are not able to help you. And in that case, that they would then help you find those who can. But fear of rejection is a very powerful thing. I know it leads me to avoid many things I'd benefit from doing if I could just get the nerve to.
Try to imagine that we're standing with you as you call, holding your hand, laying a hand gently on your shoulder so you know you are supported and not alone. We're with you in this.
I'll be thinking of you and keeping my fingers crossed for a good outcome from the call.
Take care,
