Hello, and welcome to the community! Don't look up information specifically on DID for now. Instead, read these first:

http://www.astraeasweb.net/plural/faq.shtml
http://www.karitas.net/blackbirds/layman/

Do you feel that your therapist was correct? Do you feel that you are sharing your body with others? Keep that in mind as you're reading.

The reason I do not recommend searching pages on the clinical model first off is because whether or not you split from abuse, many of them can give you the impression that you immediately have to become dysfunctional after becoming selves-aware. This is not something that anyone should be seeing when they are unsure, confused and frightened. It does not have to be like what you see on those pages.

Take care of yourself, and remember that there are many systems who are living happily and healthily as groups, regardless of how they originated.
