About whattodoaboutme

Hi there everyone, my name is Dan Kline and I have been living with Dissociative Identity Disorder for several years. Along with this diagnosis I have several others that rear their ugly head quite frequently, I have clinical depression and major anxiety, and complex PTSD. I also have ADD Attention Deficit Disorder. I have been living with this probably longer than I would care to admit, and like others I have been through the gambit of misdiagnosis several times from bi-polar to schizophrenia, have been on more medication than I care and have just only really found a cocktail that agrees with me. It has been a long difficult struggle. To which I think we can all agree.

I will tell you some things that are, well they are about me and may sound particularly bitchy. I wont name any of my others, I don’t see the need, they come about to deal with the situations in my life that come up that I am unable to deal with, so I have angry, sad, happy, fearful and then there is me which is a compilation of all of these, if the different aspects of my personality have names I don’t want to know what they are, they can keep it to themselves, I don’t know when I switch and have lost copious amounts of time from my childhood and my early twenties, and yes I am long-winded, maybe that will change as this goes on but in the beginning I hope you will understand that this is how I get it out, right now this is my outlet. I searched the internet found someone who I could relate to even enjoy their writing and information, well that person hasn’t posted in a long time, I can understand that this life as a DID is very difficult, but I will also say this you put yourself out there you developed a following and have given great, informative advice, but you left and that put a void out there for those of us that wanted to learn and to hear about your struggle, do I sound bitter? Well maybe a little bit yours was the most genuine and educational site that I have ever found, you also put things into a langauge that others could relate to, I have searched every site that even mentions your name hoping to come across a recent post or twitter or even a facebook page that you have continued to help those of us out here that are clueless. Damn does it really sound and read the way I have written it? I am not going to change any of the content, but do hope that if ever you read this please remember it is not about you it is about me, and now I am looking at having developed a little co-dependacany issue. Who knew, well hell I didn’t even realize it till I reread the damn thing.  I am done, read this or not, I think I am doing this more for me than to try to help anyone else,  but if in my struggles if only one person can find me and relate to me then there is hope
