Re: Could I have DID?

I too have feeling lately of thinking i may have DID. My mother was diagnosed with it. I was molested at age 4, my father was an alchholic, he had an inappropriate relationship with me, my parents got divorced, my mom introduced me to a son she gave away at birth that I had no idea about, my mom died right after I got married, then the brother I had just met died, My son was born with a realy bad birth defect, We moved to a foreign country and started a new job, my brother that I grew up with called me and told me he was gay, and I just had an affair on my husband of 10 years! I feel like I am about to go crazy. To have an affair is so unlike me. I really felt like I was a totally different person. I had a tummy tuck a few months ago, and I feel like it spurred on this other personality. My husband doesn't believe me, because I so good at living the rest of my life and hiding it. He thinks someone that is so messed up as I have told himI feel, would not be able to fool everyone into thinking I am ok. I think someone with DID or MPD, would easily be able to do this. Right? I was taking effexor for anxiety. I just started it when we moved here 8 months ago. I feel like that had a part in my affair too. I felt like I could do anything after I started taking the medicine. Like I was untouchable. Like I would be able to pull anything off. It was scary. What do you all think? I'm just really confused and trying to figure out what to do. I need to go to therapy I know, but the therapist I found saw me twice and then went on vacation for 3 weeks. I'm just trying to make it through the next 3 weeks. And save my marriage!!! I don't want to have anymore affairs. I love my husband. I need him to understand this and I need to get the proper help.

well, dont go an try ta diagnose urself...thats the worst thing of all u could do for urself...we will sit here with u til u can see ur T again an see what he/she says...maybe they can do the psychological testings ta see what is goin on...an maybe it aint that simple...u did go thru a lot of stuff growin up...an while u been married...so hang in there...we r here ta b with u till ur appt with ur T...

No idea if that could be a diagnosis for you, but wanted to offer some hugs and support for this difficult time.

We can't diagnose you online,
good luck and let us know how you get on

More *safe hugs* and support.

I know how you feel. I curentley can't see a T or a Dr. and I am trying to play "Doctor" with myself. I don't want people to think I am trying to do this for attention because I don't. I just wish I knew why I feel the way I do.

You could be right though. From what I have read, alot of people that have it are not concious when they are going through thier "alters". I hope you can talk to a profesional about this.

Tell me what happends,
