Answering the Question: “What is DID?” in 200 Words or Less
Stereotypes of DID abound on the internet. Most copy info from the DSM 300.14, mention the stereotypical movies, and then make some sort of comment, assumption, or question that shows they tried to understand a little, but not enough.
I read about a woman with a bipolar child, IRCC. When “concerned people” make comments about her parenting, she hands them a card that answers basic questions. What is bipolar. How yelling at the child is the wrong thing. Explaining that her reaction to the child’s behavior is appropriate in this situation.
Can we do the same for DID?
Those with DID steal money and drive recklessly
Sweeeet, another article online with some interesting misconceptions about DID. Okay folks, ready for this one? We are characterized by “stealing money, or driving recklessly, or abusing some other person.”
Excelllllent. Shall we have another go at it?

Life, one index card at a time
I found a neat little site called Indexed. The blogger captures truths of life on a single index card each morning. Hmmm. This one hits a little close to home, as I drink my coffee and read my daily “Here are Jobs fitting your profile” emails. This is today’s index card. Good stuff.
The proposed new DSM may legitimize Disease Mongering
I tripped across an opinion in the LA Times: Wrangling over psychiatry’s bible. There is debate if the new DSM will be developed in secret, although they acknowledge that past debates were chaotic and not well founded on science. Pharma would like to participate – brand new disorders mean brand new drugs that will be shoved down the throats of not only sheep (I mean patients) but insurance companies.
Emily and Cami Share What you Suspected Anyway
Lately there have been interesting changes inside that have sparked endless private journal entries. i think all of this has been on the edge of happening, in limbo. Getting a new therapist who is very good has allowed progress to resume. I’ll just offer a part of that to clarify things for you. Emily says, “Cami, I say you can tell them you have been writing most of this with me in the background.”
Flame-Quenching “Move Along” Standard Disclaimer

I publicly present it here for your information and amusement, and it also appears as it’s own page. Contents under pressure.

After finding that in addition to my psychosis, my accidental pissing off of god, and my reckless driverishness, my failings as a useful reference of medical information don’t stop there. Meandering around the Herbal Remedy site, I found a cornucopia of amazing information.
To more properly edify you on the horrible opine of health problems of insanely attitude, I have providing mostly here.
