So in a way, it was nice, but I'm also disturbed.
What was this? I notice that these "alters" only come out when I feel like absolute crap. :/ Besides that, they pretty much remain hidden. So far I only have two.
Can anybody relate to this? I don't think I could have a DD, because I've been diagnosed as BP and BPD already...but could I have very strong alter-egos? Not quite alters, but separate egos that come out strong when I need them?
I'm very confused.  |
Melissa,
We cannot diagnose for you, but we can tell you that if you want to know for sure, you would have to seek advise and counsel from your therapist who could recommend someone who specializes in DID. If you do not need to know for sure, remember to take care of yourself in the ways you feel you need to. If you feel like playing, play! If you feel like coloring, color! Do the things you feel like doing (as long as they are legal and will not harm anyone). Try not to suppress these "others" whether they be alternate personalities or alter egos. They may be trying to help protect you. I do not know for sure obviously, but that would be my recommendation. Many hugs and stuffies from the Hotel.
