Well, when I was writing this and re-reading it over and over, I went into this different voice again. And normally, I would stop thinking about the memories I remember and try to block it out again. But yesterday, I was obsessing about this memory and wanted to know EVERYTHING a.s.a.p. I even watched the trailer to the movie Jurassic Park which I was forced to watch before this incident, just to try to induce memories. I just became panicky and manic....
I didn't really remember anything more. And in this trailer, the kids were running away from the dinosaurs, and a man said something like do you think they get to us? And the woman said, only if they learn how to open doors. And then the dinosaur opened the door. (For a long time I've said dinosaurs don't exsist, since the Bible doesn't say anything about them...pretty sure this started after this incident) This is something that happened to me many times. I try to hide, but someone gets the door opened. I watched that part a few times. I wondered if maybe that was the only reason we were so scared. But the after effects show otherwise.
Anyway, I've had this voice come out before a while ago while reading another thread I posted. I even posted about the voice. I know with DID, a switch would come easily and I wouldn't have to focus on completely switching. So what is going on? If this is an alter, why can I not switch to the alter completely? Or am I just switching slowly and noticing the switch and not noticing that anything is different once I get to the otherside? I'm so confused. If this is an alter, it seems like he (I would call it a he since the voice is masculine) holds all the memories to my traumas and WANTS to remember. But then, why can't I remember it all? |
there is no way for us here to tell you what is an alter of DID for you or not because there are so many other mental and physical health problems that can share, mimic having the same symptoms and reactions as being DID. Talk with your therapy people and they can tell you if what is gong on is having an alter with DID.
I can tell you my first impression when I read your post. the rolling on the floor, washing hands obsessively, obsessive thoughts, hearing and talking in voices my thoughts was OCD. some kids with OCD do repetative rolling rocking and talking in voices that are not their natural voices as a way to comfort theirself so do children with autism, some children who just want the attention of those around them do these things too when the adults happen to be busy. I also know people with other mental disorders not related to DID that have these same problems. So Im going to have to stick with my first thought of what you can do - talk with your therapist and let a qualified professional diagnose the problem.
