Hi Karen,

Do you have any idea how I might find others with DID who are chronologically over 55 years old? We seem to face slightly different struggles living with multiplicity in later years.

Thanks,

Susan

Dear Susan,

I’m sorry, I have no idea where to find others with D.I.D. I’m sure there must be Web sites and groups that may have information for you.  I’ve found it best not to delve into more information than I can handle regarding information on D.I.D. I believe that’s what has kept me healthy.

My desire is to encourage hope through sharing my story, one person at a time. I can’t imagine being a part of a group discussion, but I have always longed to speak to others of our age who have survived through therapy, relationships, and integration, including those who are just beginning to explore their illness.

You are correct regarding slightly different struggles for those of us who are over fifty. I believe the older we are the more knowledge we have to share and compare. I would love to hear more of your journey. You never can tell… we may be going through similar experiences and can learn from each other.

Wishing you all my best!

Karen
