the thing is Shilo you are asking this question on a mental health board where there are people from all around the world.. those of us that have had this happen have been diagnosed with all kinds of things, hearing voices and feeling like they take control is a common symptom in just about every mental disorder out there.
so you are not going to get one sure fire "something I can search and try to analyse" you are going to get thousands and thousands of different "something that I can search for and try to analyze"
let me tell you a story about a few people I know that tried this route of self diagnosing problems..
one was a woman, she came upon an site like this one, she asked questions, she self analyzed and she thought she found what she was looking for...she was DID so she thought.. as time went on her symptoms became worst why because she had a simple medical problem called anemia.. all she really needed was some more iron in her body...but because she did all this self diagnosing self analyzing and such she died of iron deficiency.
A man I know happened on to a medical /mental health website. like the woman he did his asking questions, searching and self analizing self diagnosing. he came to the conclusion he was DID because he had these same symptoms..as time went on he became worse...and died of cancer.
I know a man who like yourself had these same symptoms and came to the conclusion he had DID or schizphrenia. it was discovered he had a tumor, it was only after he caused a car accident and ended up killing some people in the crash and his wife getting hurt in the crash that his tumor was discovered.. he now has to live with a wife in a coma, raise his child on his own and live with the fact that his trying to diagnose himeslf resulted in his accidentally killing a whole family.
self diagnosing/self analyzing and searching the web is not gong to tell you what your diagnosis is. all its going to do is cause you stress, frustration, confusion and possibly lead you to the wrong diagnosis because you are not going through treatment providers, the medical tests, psychiatric tests and much much more that it takes to reach the right diagnosis.
suggestion stop putting yourself through this, contact your treatment providers tell them whats going on, they can diagnose and treat this problem so that you can stop hearing voices and feeling like they take control of you.
again there is no one something you can search and analyze with these symptoms. these symptoms happen with many, thousands of mental and medical problems. only a treatment provider can tell you what it is out of those many, thousands of things.
