I met this super amazing person online, and it’s developed into budding love, but when I told them I loved them I was hit with feeling like I needed to be clear about DID.

For context I got diagnosed with DID about a year ago, right after a breakup and big move, where I was finally in a place to get a good therapist. I’ve dated casually since then but up until now I’ve never felt like it was something I could or would share. But with this guy, I feel like I could share and he’d accept me, plus most of us are attached to him in one way or another and so there’s a desire to share.

Anyway, I’m very nervous. Primarily because I’m afraid that when I start talking about it I’ll be so nervous and in my head that I’ll dissociate into that place where I’m saying words but in fragments instead of fully formed thoughts & everyone will be editing and adding in ways that makes my head fuzzy.

Any words of comfort or advice would be appreciated.
