In This Episode:
Lae and I discuss her journey to diagnosis with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) from being a peer support specialist on Discord, to seeing a professional.
We talk about the need for people to show up for one another and how it is cool that we can do that in online group spaces now.
Lae talks about what things led her to seeking diagnosis as well as how her life has changed since.
Lae tells us a little bit about some of her alters and how they coincide with one another through life.
