my T says this is common with people with DID--she sees it a lot i guess?
does it happen to any of you?
the other thing i think is kind of funny (I am having a horribly stressfull day... I am looking for humor on purpose here....) is about not having co-consciousness with some parts. One of the perks is finding things done that need to be done. Or pleasant surprises. Today I went online to pay my credit card (which I expected to be around $2,000)...and it was only $400  Apparently someone else inside paid it off last month!! I thought wow, cool!! It reminded me of back when i was in college when I'd get A's on tests "I" never studied for, finding papers written, etc.
Anyway.... just thought I'd start a thread about the humorous stuff we go through... am WAY stressed out right now and looking for some happy stuff.

actually its a myth that people with DID "channel" electricity and other psychic phenomenon.
that said - anyone - can have psychic properties about them. you dont have to have a mental disorder to have / experience or project psychic properties like having aura's / telekinesis / mind reading / reading tarot cards / palm reading / pyrokenetics /....
there are tests you can take that can tell you whether you have physic abilities and be able to differentiate between your symptoms and problems associated with your DID and those associated with having psychic abilities.
the first step is going through the same tests that you went through when you were diagnosed DID.
the second step is that psychiatrist can refer you on to other treatment providers that can test your IQ and psychic abilities separate from the DID tests.
you can also find many places that deal with psychic phenomenon on line, some of those may have some treatment providers that can test your psychic abilities.
the alters doing things for you, I know its cool with that happens. Im glad it works for you.
For me those cool times were greatly overshadowed by the fact that while they were doing those things I didnt have any control over what was happening without co consciousness.. the end result was always my bank accounts overdrawn.. collection agencies on my behind, no money to go places with my partner, no money for necessities... here the list of downfalls from their helping me to pay my bills was actually no help at all. I am so glad those days are behind me...
with all of us merged together as one whole person I know what bills are getting paid for, when they are getting paid, no more collections on my behind and my partner and I have the money we need when we need it even if its just to take in a dinner, movie or night on the town.
