I've recently found my internal voice and have been creating myself (basically just tryna be a good person). Does anyone have thoughts on this? Could this be a dissociative disorder of some kind? I have a history of depersonalization disorder.

if you were here in my location no purposely trying to be someone else, purposely trying to sound like someone else is not called a dissociative disorder. here where I live and work this is called fantasy play, acting, pretending...which is completely normal they even teach acting students here in the city who want to audition for broadway to do this, even in high school, those that want to participate in the school musicals are taught to sound like other people. kids in nursery school are taught to play dress up, make this animal sound , sound like a mom, sound like a dad, sound like a friend.... gosh I could go on and on of all the different normal situations that involve human being play acting/fantasy play/ ... here where I live and work this kind of stuff is not included in any diagnostic criteria for dissociative disorders....
my suggestion talk wiith your treatment provider, they can explain to you in more detail about this and what symptoms /problems got you diagnosed with depersonalization disorder.
