After several months of therapy with my primary therapist, it became clear that I had issues outside of Axis I; though I am schizoaffective, I present symptoms more in line with personality disorders. Very recently, and several times throughout my teen years, I had become aware of several aspects to my personality, as well as depersonalization/surrealism.
My last few sessions with my new therapist has revealed fairly defined personalities. But there are several things in my experience that contradict traditional diagnosis....
1) Though I have experienced deaths in the family, problems relating to family members, and difficulty socializing in my early years, I do not have a history of physical or sexual abuse.
2) Though I have depersonalization, I am fairly aware of my surroundings, and I remember most if not all of what occurs while under the influence of another persona...
3) All of my personas follow the social contract, do not disrupt my work, and do not mind being called by my name (though they have nicknames).

Has anyone else experienced what I could best describe as "mild" symptoms?
