Back when I first started seeing my psychologist in 2005 we had a great connection. i hade been hearing voices that told me to so thing that werent normal. I always had one voice that would stand up for me, his name is James. over the course of my treatment my ex wife was the only support I had at the time. She never gave up and always stuck to my side. When I had to go inpatient she took me and she was there for visitation. Even when I was at my worst parts. We found out that she was pregnant. She came to me one evening and tole me that if I dont get better soon she leave me and file for divorce. I couldnt imagine life without her. Over time the voices got to me and I couldnt handle it anymore. I went to my therapist and told him what was going on and he put me inpatient for a week. I kept on having these dissociative episodes, thats what he called them. My friends at work said they could notice a difference in me. several of them said I would call myself James or Jay or Dustin. These were the names of the voices I would and still do hear. At times here recently I started having the episodes more often. One night I woke up in a town 30 minutes away with no recollection of what happened. One of my closest friends said I started referring to myself as James. At times it felt like was watching a movie of myself. I could hear this "James" talking but I couldnt make him stop. When all this started happening more recent and more often I started doing research and came upon DID. Some of it made sense of it.
I was just wondering if any of this makes sense to anyone with DID. Maybe I'm putting more into it than what its worth. I just feel confused a lot here recently. Any input would be appreciated.

It could be DID or DDNOS or even something else. Have you shared this with your therapist?

I think it would be good for you to let him read your post and ask him what he thinks. This would be a good way of getting the conversation going and it will allow him to have a better understanding of your concerns. I have emailed some of my posts to my therapist and asked her what she thought. Or I asked her if we could discuss it at the next session. It has been helpful because I don't always remember what I posted or that I wanted to talk about a particular concern at the up coming session.

Indeed, you should share this with your psychiatrist or therapist. It's not easy for a non-professional to diagnose somebody, and it's much more difficult if there are so many options: DID, DDNOS-1...
The idea of mailing the post to your T is a great one!
Cheers,
