I know I have these voices in my head that are different from the ones my antipsychotic is attempting to take care of (the external ones). I know I shouldn't deny what I've experienced, seeing myself do things but have zero control over my body. Have a lot of moments I don't remember really, not without a voice telling me or "showing" me what happened. What if I'm just crazy? What if this is just me being psychotic and my meds aren't working? To accept that I have this means I have to accept what the voices tell me happened and these "memories" I have aren't false. I'm not sure I can accept that, or any of it.

no you are not crazy. if you see a treatment provider you may not get a diagnosis of DDNOS because that .........label......... no longer exists here in the USA..... not saying your problems dont exist just the name DDNOS.
in 2013 the name DDNOS has been changed to OSDD (Other Specified Dissociative Disorder)
if you see a treatment provider for this you will have a different label name with the title name of OSDD... Example one of my OSDD labels is Macropsia. theres a whole list of diagnosis names now for OSDD. you cant find them on the internet, you will know which OSDD disorder you have when you get diagnosed with it.
what if it turns out that you are having psychotic problems... thats easier to treat then dissociative problems. your treatment providers will just make changes to your meds so that you wont have these problems any more.
I know that its hard sometimes to accept a new diagnosis or probability of having a mental disorder which ever it may be..
maybe remembering something that my own treatment provider told me.... nothing changes getting a diagnosis name. it just answers the question of what has been going on for your whole life time. all thats going to actually in reality change is you will get better and eventually not have a dissociative disorder any more because you will be learning things that will make it possible for you to not dissociate, things like grounding. taking care of yourself, taking care of your daily life skills kinds of stuff.
