I've noticed a lot over the past couple years that I feel like more than one person. Not necessarily like completely different people, but my moods and attitudes can vary so greatly from day to day, hour to hour, that I feel almost like a different person.

I started noticing it more when my husband described some of his bipolar symptoms the same way.

But it's not just my mood. It's my whole attitude, outlook, behavior, reactions.. everything. And sometimes I think today about how I felt - who I was - yesterday, and it really confuses me. I feel like an idiot sometimes for the things I let myself believe and the paths that my thoughts take sometimes. I can hardly recognize myself sometimes. And sometimes the details get really fuzzy, or are missing altogether, too.

It's very creepy.

Invisigirl,

Thank you for feeling safe enough to post this. It is difficult when you don't know what you are feeling or what you are going through. Just know that you are safe here and we are listening.

Thanks for this!
