Pretty obvious to me. I’m watching dr oz and there’s a woman with DID triggered by trauma. It’s like she’s telling my experience word for word.
I think I could have had this at a very young age (12-14) and maybe schizoaffective came later. I will talk to my psychologist about this.
what’s DID? 1515
Pretty sure you don’t have DID.
DID == Dissociative Identity Disorder.
You have multiple personalities that are brought on by dissociating I think.
DID is very, very rare,
I doubt you have it considering none of your providers has mentioned it thus far.
And Dr. Oz is an idiot,
For the record.
Ok it’s so interesting u bring this up bc I listened to a podcast last night about this, and you need to listen to it. Seriously. So it’s called This Is Actually Happening and it’s Episode # 68 about a woman whose sister had 5 personalities.
Having sz and DID would be like winning the lotto. The chance is just that extreme and I’d be very dubious that you have it. I don’t know much about DID but I know a bit about sz and most sz people think a lot and that leads down some rabbit holes. I think it’s common to overthink things with sz rather than sit with the obvious!
Well then my fantasy world where I was another person for 6 years and I wasn’t even conscious I was doing it. And I had a whole another life. What was that?? Schizoaffective?? Maybe I became my fake identity and I got rid of my real identity but I’m pretty sure I just have both identities… regardless I have an identity disorder. Can psychosis be an identity disorder?
I thought I was self medicating the did with drugs and that lead to the sz which seems plausible. The did from the trauma came first. Or maybe it was sz a all along. I’m not sure I’ll talk to the psychologist.
That sounds on par with me thanks for that
I’ve had a Mexican personality that I use around Hispanic people but only used that very seldom, I have a black personality that I use around black people and I have a white personality that use around white people… Don’t have an Asian personality… Don’t have any other race personality… But my personalities are based on race. I think it has to do with trying to connect with ppl above all. Even though it’s counterintuitive. I get very timid almost to the point it’s a different personality around certain males. And then around girls and more feminine figures I become very masculine /over the top confident. Literally I have had no clue who I am my whole life. Don’t like people discouraging me when they don’t really know me outside the internet. I don’t like dr oz either but my mom watches it… and even if he’s an idiot the woman on his show wasn’t.
My black personality is the one I’m most confident and comfortable with and will usually use a modified version of it even with my white friends. This happened all very shortly after my trauma.
I just never been diagnosed this so never thought about it, but there’s my personalities.
We all change ourselves a little to be more comfortable in our surroundings,
Are you sure its not just that?
I feel like acting a certain way around certain people is very different from having multiple personalities.
Also,
Aren’t people with DID unaware of their other personalities actions or characteristics without being told by others?
I’ve been told many times by friends that I am different in my personality from my true self. I’ve been called n word by ppl I didn’t tell… my friend said to me the other day “it’s funny that you’re black”. No I have this. I meet all the damn criteria!! Makes so much sense now.
My other friend call me black once I said how the hell do you know that and he said it’s your don’t give a ■■■■ attitude ha ha that was years ago though
@Jonnybegood best not to self diagnose there man, discuss with your pdoc betore jumping the gun!
I even named my black personality. His name was shalik Stovall. So I don’t know where that comes from. He had a whole story and I read something on DID that describes it perfectly.
I feel like you shouldn’t be reading up too much on DID,
Its dangerous to obsess or self diagnose.
I know you feel like it sounds like you,
But its very possible it isn’t.
How many people come on this very forum in crisis, having depression or anxiety thinking they have schizophrenia?
It happens all the time because people do too much internet research and start connecting dots instead of consulting a physician.
Maybe you should hold off until you talk to your doctor.
Not trying to be a jerk or call you out, @Jonnybegood,
I just don’t want you to get too carried away.
You all Seem like offended that I would dare to say I have did. Insanity.
We all care about you here, we aren’t disputing that you have it, it’s just you don’t know for sure without consulting with your doctor… we’re just looking out for you love, peace
IF you don’t have out of body experiences or see yourself from a third perspective you are 99% sure it to have it.
