Now I've been back in T for about a year and a half with the same T as before and officially my dx is PTSD. I don't like labels and neither does he, but I guess this keeps my insurance company satisfied.

I mentioned to T last week that I have this constant screaming in head. He was very interested in this, which kind of freaked me out, so I clammed up about it. I didn't tell him I also have this voice that calls me names and yells at me when I do something I think is wrong or stupid or embarrassing. I've had this for as long as I can remember. I can't explain why, but it feels like both voices are female, and the screamer is quite young. I don't feel like these voices ever "take over" or that I lose control or lose time, although I did experience those sorts of things when I was younger.

So what's the deal with this? Does anyone else have this? I tried googling and only found lots of stuff about schizophrenia, and I do not have that. As comfortable as I am with T, this is really pretty frightening and embarrassing for me to talk to him about, because it sounds crazy even to me, now that I type it out.
Hi sarahplainandshort.... my t says that sometime your body's age ( your age) has something to do with getting diagnosed d.i.d or other dissociative disorders....I cant quote her but she says it has something to do with your hormones and the dissociation that has served you well for so long is starting to cause you problems now....a lot of people with a dissociative disorder dont get diagnosed untill their late 20's or 30's. Maybe the voices you are hearing need for you to hear them...it's scary I know but if you trust this t you have be honest and see what happens. Like others have said at least d.i.d is fixable....and your not crazy!!!! I hope this has helped you a little bit....life
