Hi @Just 

Welcome to the forums ๐Ÿ™‚

I have a diagnosis of DID and CPTSD (they go hand in hand, unfortunately). Happy to chat, if you need ๐Ÿ™‚

I would also say, no matter what diagnosis is eventually decided on, it certainly doesn't define you. I found my diagnosis was helpful as I was better able to understand myself and the way I live my life, and perhaps why, but it was also difficult to accept at first, because it meant that I had to accept that there was significant trauma in my life. I've decided to face those traumas now, and it's such an exhausting journey, but I feel like I am slowly being set free as well. I believe two opposing things can be true at the same time.
