Welcome to Psych Central. You are likely to get many views and opinions here which you can take or leave. I do believe Amanda was trying to help you and her advice to seek help from a Doctor is sound advice.

Full blown DID is rare and there are certain things you need to have gone through to reach that diagnosis. It's not a diagnosis that is taken lightly though some sort of dissociative disorder may be present, the spectrum of DD is far reaching.

The fact that you don't want to be you, that Selene seems to cope better with life than you do. The fact that you want to self harm and have done so in the past. The fact that you are very unhappy and unable to socialize, all means that you could do with some help. Yes.

Call a mental health help line, see your Doctor for some other reason and then speak to him/her privately. Please do it, because you really don't need to live your life this way.

We all want to help support you but you do need to seek in real life support.
