Hey hi kumo...welcome to PC!

A lot of it sounds like a dissociative disorder....and doesn't have to be DID, could fall under OSDD which are like DID, but don't meet the full diagnostic requirements to be DID. Me, we are there or anywhere in between. The actual letters don't bother me because we are in fact a Multiple. I would say we are DID (co-conscious: we think talk...but don't blend, more like oil and water) because the Others don't feel like characters...they are their own personalities with talk, walk, think, feel, gestures, manners...we just look the same in physical appearance...except of what we wear.

OSDD has this blending thing....I think, impulses, leanings, they have alters but not so apparent....or pronounce.

There is a thing called highway hypnosis where one can daze out whilst driving...is it you? I couldn't tell you.

In us though...we daze out as Others take over the conscious because they/we are talking thinking, sometimes at the same time (very, very distracted driving) (samething in the shower...I know it's not me)...we can drive blocks or even miles...like come to on the freeway going across town to work. It's really really scary to drive because we can't focus....we've been terribly lucky so far. I've left N.W. Arkansas and drove into Texas in what seemed like a matter of moments. The drive is boring, so I didn't mind! Lol

As far as having friends...I'm like you in that regard....always the odd duck. I never could find my "fit" till I found others like me on the internet in these forums, here, there and everywhere.

I experience depersonalization and derealism (dp/dr)...it comes in waves it seems....never permanent till I ground my way out or it goes away- where everything in life feels unreal, but I know them to be real- not psychosis.

What else goes on with you as far as your experiences?

Sure it's something to discuss with your pdoc....because if it weren't happening, you wouldn't be concerned about it. Keep us posted.
