The other day my fiancé took me to a car dealer. I was cold, my feet were wet, and my battery had just died. Wasn't a good morning. But later he was so upset with me, he said that infront of tha salesman, I said to my fiancé, "You are stupid and ignorant!!" .... I have no recall of the conversation. Also, ignorant is not a word I really use often. They say I have bi polar, my memory is POOR, I get confused and try to act like I am not. Could this be multiple personality?? I cant believe I would say something to cruel and embarrassing in public.

well, multiple personality is called D.I.D. now (dissociative identity disorder) and it stems from childhood abuse... so it would be something that you have had for ever.. has this happened before? or is it just something new?

you can dissociate without having D.I.D. , everyone does it to an extent at times...

but i can relate with your post, hopefully more people will have more advice and words...

welcome to the forums, i hope that you are able to find some answers and find your time spent here helpful

Your mind may blocking out your feelings. Maybe you did feel that way about him, at that moment, but blocked it out. Seeing a Therapist is best help for you.

your question is this multiple personality....

In my own location no. here it would be called a lovers quarrel and normal forgetfulness due to the stress of the moment. the reason my treatment providers would not call this a DID/ Dissociation problem is because DID isnt about things that normal people can do like forgetting a conversation and name calling when fighting with people.

to diagnose whether this would be a dissociative problem in me, my treatment providers would look for dissociation, things like....how did the triggering event make me feel, did it make me feel dissociation (numb/ emotionless, spaced out, feeling disconnected from myself or those around me) if my treatment provider was reading your post as if I had wrote it they would see I wasnt numb/ emotionless I was feeling angry, I engaged in the fight and I had memory of the triggering event (evidenced by the words that showed I knew a fight was happening and evidenced by words like he said this and I said that and this happened....) my point these would be what my treatment provider would look for if I asked them if this was DID and using your post as it is written.

you state you have bipolar disorder. sometimes my own bipolar disorder causes me to not remember things when I am keyed up/ stressed out, sometimes i say and do things I would not ordinarily do this in me is part of my manic phase of doing things on impulse and poor judgement rather than calmly thinking things through.

my suggestion is to contact your treatment providers, they can tell you for sure whether this is a dissociative problem in you or whether its part of your bipolar disorder issues. they can also adjust any medications you may be on to help you to better control your anger, concentration and memory problems if they are associated to your bipolar disorder.
