I've lived with Bipolar Psychosis for nearly 3 years now but recently I've been experiencing dissociation. It first started when I played about with my mum's VR headset, and the day after I used it I didn't feel real. It's like I didn't recognise myself. I even had flashbacks of the game, like a visual hallucination.

Fast forward 2 months later and the dissociation happens again, but this time not due to the headset. I've since stopped using it. On top of not feeling real, I didn't feel like me. I was convinced I was Kaelen ( a character of mind in a book I'm writing, and one of the voices in my head.) Now this isn't the first time I've dissociated. When I was first diagnosed, I was admitted into a mental hospital and I lost about 3 days of memory. When I "woke up", everyone, including the nurses, was calling me Kaelen. I was also suddenly aware I was a man stuck in a woman's body, and convinced that a nurse had hidden a bomb in my pillow.

Is it possible to have psychosis and Dissociative Identity Disorder or OSSDD?

Now what's different about this time is I don't get any amnesia. But sometimes I go very still and can't move. It's like I'm not in control of my own body. Also my likes and dislikes change. I love rock music, but when Kaelen is in control he listens to Classical music like Schubert, Bach, and Shostakovich. He also hates my favourite anime, the Fate series.

What do I do? Is this going to be forever or will it go away? Do I even qualify as having Dissociative Identity Disorder or even OSDD-1b because usally I front with another alter, if they want to front. I never dissapear altogether.

Any advice would be helpful.
