Hey beyes, welcome to pc.

To tell you the truth...there can be no subtle signs because DID can be a highly secretive and hidden that it takes years of therapy and testing to be diagnosed- even to the person in question due to the amnesia between states of consciousness involved.

Personally, in our world....to us....I sense Others, can communicate to other thought processes separate from my own, can notice the changes in behavior, thought, perception, some very physical to undetectable switches....complete takeovers whereas I’m just an observer....but still be amnesiac to their essence and memories because we are somewhat co-conscious and co-hosting (aware of some of each other)...

but we are highly sensitive and aware through a lifetime of observation and training...but also to us in our system...blatantly obvious. For most other systems, not so.

Most systems of DID are different in how they manifest, but the root cause is basically trauma in the early childhood years from birth to 5-7 years depending on your location. Trauma can be as simple as parental neglect not so much abuse.

My biggest issue is missing memories. All I can remember is snippets of today, lesser of yesterday...and the rest of my past is 98.97% blank with a random flashbacks that come and go. Yay for our team.

But unlike a broken arm...mental illness (especially DID) takes a studied approach. I studied it myself and I’m very spot on...won’t declare but is in the realm of OSDD/DID....apples and oranges, big deal> it all sucks. Lol

There is nothing wrong asking questions and reading looking for similarities or differences....if you are asking...there must be a reason as to why. The best approach is a therapist ($$$$ cha Ching)..or go open minded in self discovery.

If you have any questions, please feel free to p.m. me.
