my suggestion is contact your treatment providers, they can help you to understand what type of alter this other side is (there are many different mental disorders and types of alters) and they can do diagnostic evaluations that can help you to figure out whether this is DID or a different type of alter.

I've never talked to my psychiatrist because she was busy, but I did talk to another and she told me that, I'm just bi-gender and don't have DID, but I show slight characteristics of them, but not fully. I asked of it just being a split-personality, but it doesn't exist she said.
That's why I'm still a little confused, my alter does exist, he can talk the way he wants, and tells me things.
I think the whole idea there is anything wrong with me is bull. Ever since we went to the psychiatrist our mind as been wrapped around this false thinking and fear about our self existence. We haven't been one bit normal now, because of this whole mess, I knew we shouldn't of went to the mental health clinic. I knew it wasn't a good idea, but we went anyways. Now we haven't been able to do the things we used to anymore. Like daydream, play video games, talk to my friends I want to talk to.
