They aren't my hands, they're the hands of something evil and sinister. How I feel about my hands being evil is sort of the same gut-wrenching feeling I get when I suddenly believe that me as a whole is evil. I don't know which is worse.
My therapist believes I have DID. So, I'm just curious if this is common for people who have DID or if I'm just entirely off my rocker at this point. |
I have never had this happen with my DID but did because of medication and a concussion where the two sides of my brain were not working together. with me a change in meds and healing of the concussion fixed the problem in me. in me it was called alien hand syndrome / medication and concussion induced psychosis.
one of my relatives had it happen they are diagnosed with alzheimers. their doctor called this symptom in them ...Alien Hand Syndrome.
short version it means because of physical health problems a person feels like their hands are not their own and out to harm them, do things out of their control.
to find out what what in you and how to control it in you, you will need to talk with your treatment providers....
