Was diagnosed with Complex PTSD and depression initially. My therapist who is a specialist in PTSD and dissociative disorders tells me I have fragments though (Other Specified Dissociative Disorder-1). I guess I'm still processing this. I mean I always feel like me. I don't feel like a system. I don't have alters and I don't have amnesia between fragments. It's just that sometimes my perspective will change suddenly, and sometimes I'll know I should/shouldn't do something but just can't. (According to DID-research.org my 'symptoms' fall under OSDD-1B.)

I've been flipping back and forth between thinking OSDD-1 explains a lot about me and thinking I absolutely do not have OSDD-1 or trauma. I guess I'm confused and scared. I've been feeling pretty depersonalized though.

Are there other people with OSDD-1 on here who can relate to these reactions to being diagnosed?

Does having fragments mean I'm a median system? I mean sometimes I feel like I'm a median system but that could just be because I'm feeling stressed. Most times I don't feel like a system at all! Are there other people who have been diagnosed OSDD-1 who say they're NOT systems? (At least part of the time) ;-)
