To me, it is simply an aspect of a dissociative identity disorder. What I tell myself now (when it happens) is not to dwell on it, but to bring it up in therapy. If I dwell on, everything gets louder and more chaotic.
Thank you for your reply. I get that too, the it gets more chaotic part. I never understood why that was though. Still dont really. The more I focus on my alters the more often they chatter in my head. I read some videos about schizophrenia and DID. They schizophrenia voices go away when not thought about and DID voices always stay. So it has just always added to the fear that I have schizophrenia.
