I have been diagnosed with schizoafftive disorder depressed type, but I been feeling paranoid as of late and I am not sure if my diagnosis is correct. My brith mother has paranoid schizophrenia. And I am not sure if I have it or not. Then again I don’t have hallucinations unless I’m having an anxiety attack or really depressed. Next therapist session I plan to talk to my therapist.
I also been experiencing something similar to DID, but I am not sure if it fack or just a delusion. I also got diagnosed with ptsd and I trying my best to do what I can for myself.
i hope that your next visits with your therapist are productive! good luck and have a restful week!
@treebard DID is characterized by amnesiac barriers and the inability to function as a singular person in a single body (disrupting work, social life, school, driving, etc). DID treatment, as far as I know, is mostly system management with your therapist or psychiatrist, so that managing daily life with switches (alters changing) is easier to resume life rather than stutter or self destruct. (and thats just the surface of issues) some people speculate that if you give enough care to each alter, that the amnesiac barriers might break down, or you can integrate alters entirely, but i dont know how frequent or possible that is. i do know that some but not all anti-psychotics may blur systems and cause further memory disorder.
i have DID, so I am open to any questions you might want to know about how a system functions, but I am nervous to talk about it publically (pm would be better)
