Hi (((((((((((((((peaches100)))))))))))) Glad you're here.

While it does not sound like DID, it does sound like there is some separation of self and I agree with pixies- it's not a minor thing and you deserve help.

My T has explained that everyone has parts of self, but often times trauma in ones life and how the brain processes things makes it so there can be barriers between those parts. Because of the way the brain works, one can be anywhere on the line of dissociation.

The lines between PTSD, Complex PTSD, DDNOS and DID is pretty fine, in my opinion and I don't know that it matters so much. It's all a struggle and often scary and often confusing no matter where someone is on the line.

Some people have extreme barriers between parts of self and so there is no communication or even knowledge of what happens when another part of self takes over. Others know exactly what's going on around them and can control what happens. But, there are so many places in between. Some people might see what happens when other parts are out but not have any control, some might see that other parts are in control but can't hear what's going on.

There are a lot of things that factor where the brain is on the scale of dissocation, but the good news is there is help for it.

I'm so glad you are seeing a T and feel comfortable talking to her about this. It sounds like she is knowledgeable about dissociation and can help you sort out the different aspects of yourself and help you heal.

I hope we can all be of some support here for you as you figure things out. I'm glad you're here.
