I'm almost positive I have DID. But I'm also not sure. Even if I don't have them, how do people with this disorder know about their personalities? How do they know their names and style and personality, etc. without another person telling them? Because if I do have this, I do not any of their names, and hardly their personalites. I would like to though.

Are you in therapy? That is a good place to start to investigate the possibility of a dissociative disorder.

DID is also not just about having alternate personalities. most people dont realize they have DID but do know they have other accompanying symptoms. for example I didnt know I had DID until I was an adult but I knew I had other problems all my life. I didnt know it was called dissociation but knew sometimes I felt numb, spaced out and disconnected. I had a whole history of problems documented by my treatment providers, teachers in my childhood... my suggestion... contact a treatment provider, ask them for a psychiatric evaluation for mental disorders. let them know you suspect a dissociative disorder. contact your school, they will have records of how you were mentally and physically in school, what your medical and mental problems were as a child that they documented as part of your history and other school issues. contact your medical doctor from childhood. they will have any documentations of whether you dissociated as a child, were abused as a child and so on that treatment providers ask about when diagnosing mental disorders.,,,, why all this... because DID and having alters do not just happen over night. they are there from very early childhood. the problems associated with having DID is there from very early childhood (my own locations statistics/ demographics state before the age of 5) so if you have DID and alters some problems associated with having this would have been documented by many people because of how it affects every aspect of a persons life. |

 Having a therapist is a must for proper diagnosis and treatment of any and all mental disorders. To answer your question.... First off...I lack a diagnosis but is an obvious inner Multiple. We have a level of co-conscious so that we can talk to each Other in head which keeping a journal or free handwriting helped us open up. Also we each can take control of the body at our turn as needed. We are mainly amnesiac to what an Other does during their time out, but we do share general knowledge to appear singular. We've always have been this way. We Others for the most part don't have names until recent....but it really doesn't matter because we as a system had to work together silently in secret, never acknowledging the truth.... even to ourselves. Of course we had an awakening where we realized the true nature of our mental condition where we began to individualize and recognize our seperate likes and dislikes, but each still have a job to do. Everyone chose a name they like, but since there are so many....we decided to just go with the job we do. Other multiples are in the dark about being DID, so they live on not knowing requiring a therapist to bring them together. Just stick around and read what Others experience...maybe you can see parallels or hopefully perpendiculars.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
