I (17M) just found out my GF (17F) has DID and the alters are in relationships.

That is so fucked up. I am a 35 yr old with bipolar and comorbid ADHD. My bipolar fully dropped on me when I was 23, and I didn’t realize I had ADHD through my teens. Looking back, I totally did, but it got worse when bipolar fully developed, which happens. I would never of pretended to have this shit as a teenager, or now, or ever. I’ve very much accepted my mental illnesses and myself, and I don’t wish to be different, but if it was offered to just erase them from my life permanently, I’d take that no question!! To think there’s kids out there who if offered the opposite, offered to have a real mental illness, they would jump at it. That’s dun fucked up guys!!
