I was reading a post I made in another forum, and I just realized that I used "we" and spoke of different personalities in me debating over a decision. This is how it feels to me quite often, and I've always tried to describe it in hopes that others would admit similar things going on inside them. Nobody ever admits to these types of feelings, but I have always assumed they are simply not circumspect enough to notice them.

About 10 to 15 years ago, my secretary seemed angry with me, and I was puzzled. I tried to discover what she was angry about, but she would not tell me. She would only say that she was shocked that I would have said or done this mysterious thing to her. I started wondering about stories of dopplegangers or alternate realities or even demonic possession. I even wondered if my secretary was mentally ill or trying to play mind games on me. It always bothered me to think that I might have done things out of character and have absolutely no recollection.

About 6 years ago I had psychosis briefly. I've spent a lot of time trying to understand why that happened to me. One explanation was that the conscious and practical part of my personality was neglecting the other parts of my personality, and those neglected personalities briefly staged a protest.

I've never thought any of these incidents indicated DID, but now I am starting to wonder if I might have some of those traits. I knew absolutely nothing about DID until I looked it up a couple of weeks ago. I had heard of people with multiple personalities that would timeshare the body, but apparently DID has milder forms too?

Any opinions?

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I have always talked to myself for as long as I can remember, and I have always said "we" (e.g. "we've got to do this"...). This is how I calm myself down and focus in difficult situations. It's like the conscious personality giving instructions to the unconscious personalities. I'm only aware of the conscious personality, but I know the others are there too. The conscious personality is like the mother instructing her children "let's all stay together, and don't forget where we parked." I suspect the unconscious parts of me get annoyed that they are always being told what to do and never get to make the decisions.
