I am wondering if it is possible that there might be two of me!? I am not looking for a diagnosis from any of you, because I know that you are not qualified for that type of thing. It is just something that I have noticed off and on throughout my life and some folks have even questioned to me about how quickly I can switch. So I am wondering about it.

Is switching a bipolar trait or a trait of Dissociative disorder? I can be rolling along in a great mood but when something triggers me (usually my husband or someone who talks down to me, someone who takes advantage of me, comes on to me, uses me), BLAM! I suddenly become a different person! Full of rage, edgy, extremely irritable, moody and isolate from everyone and everything. I shut down even towards God and His Bible, and will bury myself in senseless reading (novels, mysteries), for days and days!

NO Dr. has ever diagnosed me as to having dissociative disorder, but they didn't find that I had Asperger's either!!! But, this is what I see to be very active in me! I am convinced that I have un-diagnosed Asperger's. That makes me very angry! After all of the years of counseling and NO ONE figured it out!!!????

I watched the movie Sybil, was really quite fascinated by that story, felt that I could relate to her in some surreal way, esp. her very last dominate character at the end which was a very angry controlling little boy! That is the one that rises up and causes me much distress. The other one is is very timid, almost mute; who hides and runs from everything frightening! The older I get the more agoraphobic I become (I am 64yrs old now).

Does this make sense to anyone here, can you help me understand what is going on!?
