I know I have a dissociative disorder. I'm not sure about the multiple personality.

I come from a abused childhood. I've been addicted to pot until the last year I have been in recovery. I see a T and a PDOC. P has diagnoised me with a mild bi polar disorder & panic.

My question is this: Can you switch without your voice changing? Can it just be internal? Can I be MPD without other people knowing it? I'm getting ready to discuss my abuse with my T. I've been avoiding it. My personality seems to change for whatever situation I'm in. I know I have a teen personality. I hear voices in my head and also talk to them. I'm very confused and forgetful. I've also been doing stupid things like throwing things away at work I need. I almost threw my blankets outside when I mean't to throw them downstairs for washing. I get in the car to go somewhere and I totally forget where I'm going. I've gotten places and not know how I've gotten there. I'm just putting everything that is happening together to talk to my P and T about.

Can someone also tell me about their disorder?

Thanks for listening.

To answer this specific question, yes.

However, I strongly suggest you talk with your t about this. Be open and honest and try to go from there, OK?

Dissociation can be confusing and a very personal experience, so an experienced t can say what level of it is going on with you, etc.

To learn more about the disorder, you can visit the ISSD website and learn LOTS!

Good luck!

Wow, I've not been there in a while and realized that it's changed its name to broaden its content. Cool.

I have DID. Trauma happened in my childhood as well. It was horrible. I have at least 10 personalities and one of them integrated with me and she is extremely dangerous. The age ranges from 2- 350 years young. Why 350 you are wondering? Well, one of my personalities is a Martian! I guess they live much longer. Each of my personalities has a different voice. I have two kid personalities and a few adult ones. Others are weird like I have a bird, a robot and someone who gets confused and who can't complete a sentence!

Thanks for all of your help. I really appreciate it.

Cool website, thanks Kd!

Good luck to you Raceka as you talk with your T. You are so brave to do that and talk about such hard things! Like KD said, dissociation is so different with each person. Hopefully as you talk to your T, he/she can help you figure things out.
