Sometimes I feel like I lose control of myself. Not necessarily that I’m another person. Just that a power has taken over me. It’s really hard for me to explain. I told my doctor I thought I was being controlled and he really didn’t say anything. Could this be a early sign of a split personality? Is it just schizophrenia? I’m not entirely sure.

According to this it’s a sign of schizoaffective disorder. (feeling controled). That’s a relief.

It is also one of Schneider First-rank symptoms in schizophrenia:
Passivity experiences (in which the individual has the experience of the mind or body being under the influence or control of some kind of external force or agency; delusions of control or of being controlled)

I’m doing a lot of stuff for the control feeling spiritually.
Before I was diagnosed and medicated, I used to feel like there were different people inside me who sometimes took over control. I’d still be conscious, but unable to stop them.
When I was diagnosed, the pshychiatrist told me it was just a part of my illness.

Yeah I hate it when that happens.
Don’t know if it’s related to split personality but I keep getting these strange experiences.
Sometimes when I am manic, I do stuff seeing the world from a different perspective and then I totally forget about that whole experience. Having a blank space in my memory about that time.
Then I usually get these surprises about weird purchases I made and stuff I’ve done, not understanding why the heck and sometimes even how I’ve done some particular stuff.
I mean… it feels like I was a bit of a different person for a while. I can’t recall my memories for that time or understand the train of thought that led me to my decisions.

I remember there was a TV show where there was a doctor who would black out at night time and do crazy things. I think that’s a different type of mental illness.

Isn’t night time for me and I remember nothing from that. I don’t do crazy things, just stuff that is out of character for me. I don’t believe that I suffer from that different illness you assumed I have…

Hey @TheBest , I haven’t really brought up this issue to the meetings with a psychiatrist yet. I am currently diagnosed with sz only.
don’t worry I haven’t been that offended, it was a bit unpleasant that’s all.

I have DID and Sza. There are a few differences. To me it’s sounds like it’s more of an sz thing you’re experiencing.
