Thanks for responding everyone. I appreciate it.
in another thread on this I read you were confused. I know the feeling. As diagnostics change and as treatment providers learn more and more about mental illness my diagnosis's would be in limbo and updated and lead to confusions too.

I have discovered its not the end of the world to discover what I and past treatment providers thought was one mental disorder is now here in present times and present diagnosis standards something else, ....some... of
what I and my past treatment providers thought was dissociative problems are now diagnosed as being things like bipolar disorder, psychosis, medication side effects.

the good part of having diagnosis changes in me, is that what used to not be treated with medications now are treated with medications. Now those problems that used to be left untreated in me are getting treated. why were they left untreated years ago.... because by past standards and mental health beliefs, they fell into dissociation and the going thing back then with treatment providers was meds dont work with dissociative problems. But with todays diagnostics and standards that have moved those problems from being dissociation to being called other things, it opened the door for meds, which got the problems under control....

my point now that your doctor feels this problem with feeling like your hands are acting on their own and feel like your hands are evil is schizophrenia not DID symptom, they can now get you treated for it.

I am glad you talked with your treatment provider.
