I have had these so-called "alters" that take over so I was diagnosed with DID a few years ago. But my T said it was kinda mild. I have kris-kris, who is really energetic and just off the wall, destructive too but for fun; then there's kris-aven who is very angry, and the lil kris who is just a little girl. Hold on folks, I will make the connection to bipolar disorder soon. Well, the "alters" don't take over as much and so another T said i have dissociative disorder, NOS. And I have recently been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. And now that I know the symptoms of bipolar disorder and how to recognize what's going on.. it's got me thinking. My new T said when you have the different extremes of bipolar, that you are like a different person. Since then i have wondered if my "alters" are really the extremes of bipolar, especially kris kris. I think she is mania/hypomania. I think kris-aven is really just me being angry, which can be part of a mixed episode, and I have been told to not be angry, so I blame her instead. As far as lil kris i think she is part of my depression. It is all starting to make sense now. They are not different personalities, they are different moods of my bipolar. Any thoughts on this?
