Finally integrated the last of my alters just last month and I am excited!
So, technically, I no longer have DID. I have a long way to go, in terms of depression due to abuse, but 'losing' the DID diagnosis is a BIG deal.

Wow BB,
That represents a lot of work. Now welcome to the just plain old vanilla survivors club. Not much different I guess? I don't know what it is like to be integrated but you can share your experiences here. There is still lots of growing and healing in life for you just as you are today.
So glad to meet you,
Harmony

Re: Integration
Thanks, Harmony!
Yes, it was a lot of hard work.
Yeah, now I am just a messed-over singleton, LOL.
Actually, it should be much easier to heal fully, now that I'm integrated. I'm doing EMDR to try to nail the old memories that hurt so much.

Re: Integration
Wow BB that is awesome!
I can't imagine being integrated. I'm really just at the beginning of my journey to healing and still learning about dissociation and my parts. It can be really confusing! What is clear is that it takes a huge amount of work, so I hope you are really proud of yourself. I think you have done amazingly well.
