What used to be a very organized way of retrieving memories has sense become a junk draw, which makes it more difficult for me to find the memory I need. Before the accident my memory was compartmentalized like mail slots at the post office. Now my memories are in a big pile that takes time to sort through. My little ones have been with me from when I was four years old. The others came along to help me as we grew up. I am finding out I know very little about how alters come into being. I was different after the accident, the mother to my son seemed to be asleep and I was trying to figure things out by myself. That is how it seemed at the time and even now when I look back. I appreciate your insight. It helps me to sort things out. Thanks.

glad to help.

Sometimes brain damage can ****mimic**** having the same symptoms of mental disorders like DID. kind of like sleep deprived person will have the same symptoms of someone who has depression or DID.
I would have been very surprised if after your car accident you remained the same as you were before it. trauma and stress of car accidents will mess up someones thinking, short term/long term memory problems and can cause life long headaches, body aches and migraines..
keep working with your treatment providers, they will know how to best help you to feel better and regain some if not all of those jumbled up memories depending upon what brain damage was sustained in the accident.
