I just came out as lesbian and I really want to move on with my life and not have pretend people messing it up for me. I know they are all me and I just want to move on. But I keep slipping back and thinking I'm other people that aren't me, like being a gay man. I'm not interested in men!! I wasn't for my whole life until this started happening. I don't know what to do. I hate this.
there are many mental \ physical and normal things that can cause what you posted. just because a well meaning friend may say you have DID does not make it so. for example if you google the symptoms you posted you will find millions upon millions of results that this can be....

My suggestion relax, breath, and then contact a treatment provider ie medical doctor, therapist, psychiatrist. they will be able to get you through the diagnostic process for all the different mental, physical and normal things this could be and then get you into the right treatment program if needed. that is the only way you will know for sure what is going on with in you. plus its less stressful then friends self diagnosing you and possibly diagnosing you with the wrong things.
