This is a continuation of my earlier post. Here are more things that confuse me:

I say I will do something and forget it less than 5 minutes later.

I think I am handling things well emotionally and feeling fine, and the next minute, something triggers me and I start crying.

My husband says "I can tell something is bothering you," but I don't think anything is. Then shortly afterward, I have a meltdown of some kind.

My therapist will ask me a question, and when I answer it with what I believe is a truthful answer, I can see in her face that she doubts what I've said, or she she will ask, "Are you sure?"

Most times, I feel like a totally capable adult, but when something triggers me, I become like a terrified, anxious, or needy little girl. Later, I go back to feeling like my normal self and can't figure out why I acted that way, and feel guilty because it doesn't seem like me at all.

Constantly dream about being lost, separated from my family, or dream that I wake up somewhere and don't know how I got there. Or dream that I'm suddenly naked and don't know how it happened, or dream that somebody tells me I've done something horrible that I don't remember doing...

My t has told me at different times that I have talked in a different voice, or have switched, or has said things like, "Who just took over?" or "What do you think would have happened if you had let (my name) stay in the room?" or has asked to talk to parts of me that feel like small children.

So far, my t has only said I have C-PTSD, not DID. But sometimes I worry that I do, even though I don't "lose time," other than kind of spacing out at times. (I don't end up somewhere and not know where I am - only in my dreams).
