I'm not sure what I would be diagnosed with as far as dissociation,
For me I've always been co-concious with any parts so it was a bit easier than for most of you guys for me to figure out was going on - the fact that I was watching, or in some cases the memories would flash back to me upon switching back in (I wouldn't be aware until I came back, at which time I got a flash of what had happened and how I got where I was, and therefore was filled in). I was already part of PC and so when I started to experience these things I dropped on by here and talked about it. I still don't know what I'd label myself and I went through HUGE denial. But here I am
Fox, I don't think it's "weird" that you are finding out on your own. I think that is the case with so many people. It goes at its own pace, and it's up to you to figure out what to do with the knowledge you have learned.
