I have been diagnosed with DID. After many years of trying to figure out what was going on in my head I suspected DID. I have episodes of amnesia where I will loose a day or part of a day. I have never, as far as I know, gone by another name. My parts/alters did not have names, I identified them by their emotions or the memory they held. I have a lot of co consiousness. It's good but it also caused me to think I was insame because I could see me doing something I would never do. When I switch in the world no one can tell. It is subtle. When I switch at home alone or in session it is noticeable. It almost feels like a relief when I can switch and be who ever wants to talk without always trying to repeat what is being said in my head. DID is more complicated than I thought. I just learned that I am still dissociating like always. I thought that once I realized and started working with my alters that my dissociating to deal with issues would at least be noticeable to me. It's not. I have done it for so long I almost don't know who I would be if I didn't. I am in therapy because it wasn't working for me anymore. It was effecting my physical health and causing problems on my job. I realized that what I want in my life is to feel. And that is done by many of us but not by me. I almost have a longing to be integrated and feel all of my life. The good and the bad. I want to know I am alive.
