Borderline Personality Disorder - Dissociative Identity Disorder, Dissociation and Trauma Disorders

Dissociation can happen from physical and other mental disorders.

Everyone dissociates to one degree or another. We special ones take it a step further! Lol

The DSM-5 includes "severe dissociative symptoms" in their criteria for BPD. You need to talk to your T to verify.

Hope this helps.
thanks, yeah. i know BPD also includes dissociation. i just read that it was 'different' from having parts, fragments, alters, etc. whatever the 'technical' term even is lol

all i really care about is that i don't really fit the BPD criteria much anymore because it has really just not even helped me. i would think if you are diagnosed with something, the prescribed 'therapy,' etc. would be beneficial, but it did nothing for me (DBT) when i did try it....and my symptoms have also been managed for years now that used to be quite distressing to me (a lot less feeling 'too' much, self harm, etc.).

i feel like a lot of the time, in my head, it's an alternate world..or a lot of alternate lives...sometimes it comes to the external world and feels like the twilight zone, but it's never lived 'outside, 'just inside......and i do not really 'know' what those other worlds/lives are....it's almost like dreams/day dreams but not.
