I just... don't know anymore... help?
Am I the only ADULT on the planet that developed dissociation?
Am I some kind of freak? Cause I am really staring to feel like one.
People can dissociate at any age. dissociation is a naturally occuring thing.

Its the disorder DID that happens in childhood because of severe trauma before the age of 5. you probably had all your alters before 3 months ago you just werent aware that they were there because your dissociating into the alters was automatic. now you are aware you do it so you probably notice it more now than you did before.
Thanks for this!
