I know that its hard to understand, ....statistics wise..... the most documented number of alters in one physical body is only 16-20 here in the USA. I know some people with more than that. the problem stems from what constitutes a dissociative type alter vs other perceived alters that fit the criteria for being called other types of alters. to a person who has all these alters they all may seem the same but unfortunately or fortunately depending upon point of view treatment providers here in the USA have guidelines that they must follow so for example even though Cinder to me felt like an alternate personality she did not fit the diagnostics so my treatment providers could not consider her for diagnosis purposes.

it may be that in your location the ....statistical data and guidelines....that treatment providers have to go by is that a person with DID has two alternate personalities that fit a special set of criteria. treatment providers cant diagnose something that they dont have. if in describing your alters what you stated didnt fit the diagnostic criteria for what dissociative type alters are in your location then it cant get diagnosed as that in your location.

this is one of the conflicts many people run into. there are many different countries in the world and if someone hits the internet and self diagnoses their alters to be one way based on a set of criteria that isnt for their locations definitions and diagnostics it can get so upsetting when treatment providers in their location do not diagnose the same way.

my suggestion just keep going according to your own locations and treatment providers. either in time your locations definitions \diagnostics will catch up with other places or what treatment plans they have you on will help no matter what your diagnosis vs what you feel you have is. there is no one way to treat having alternate personalities and many times treatments for other disorders actually works for treating dissociative problems too.

as for the living in your own world.. some rare people with dissociative problems do have what america calls dual diagnosis of psychosis. psychosis is being out of touch with reality. since the diagnostics here in america say for DID reality testing remains intact when a dissociative has times when they are out of touch with reality it is diagnosed not part of the DID but another disorder called psychosis. I know many people that are dual diagnosed.

it may be the same way in your location that being out of touch with reality when you dissociate doesnt fit the DID diagnosis so they have no choice but to treat you for psychosis.

suggestion try and give it time, breath relax and follow your treatment providers. they know whats what in your location and who knows maybe their way of doing things will help you to feel better soon.
