Schizophrenia or Multiple Personality Disorder?

DX'd - Other
1

Hello,

I was originally dx’d as having schizophrenia, but I’m currently not sure if I have multiple personality disorder. My symptoms started as mild auditory hallucinations. This got worse and worse until I believed that I am ‘psychic,’ that I can hear the dead, and that my suffering is due to reincarnation. To me, the voices I heard were ‘ghosts.’ Then, one day, I stopped hearing some of the ghosts, so I started letting them ‘talk through me.’ Now, they talk through me all the time! Now, I don’t black out, lose my memory, etc., and I still believe that I’m ‘psychic,’ but, because I let these ghosts talk through me, could I have multiple personality disorder (i.e., dissociative identity disorder)? This is a real worry for me, so maybe someone could clarify…

Only a qualified psychiatrist can diagnose you.
Sounds like psychosis but I’m not a doctor.
I too thought that I was a psychic and could communicate with the dead.
I am diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder.

I thought I had DID but it was just the way the auditory hallucinations were organized in my head. Sometimes I think I don’t have schizoaffective disorder but the more I learn about other peoples experience with it the more I’m starting to believe it. When I read about other peoples experiences it all sounds just too familiar, as if I wrote it myself. Sometimes I read stuff on here and wonder if one of my other personalities wrote it and left it here for me to find. Jeez I’m nuts! stay alive fren

I recently began wondering if I have MPD/DID. I am convinced I have an alter ego that uses my body and brain and that those memories are blocked from me. I can’t determine if it is scientists controlling my brain via equipment or if it is another personality controlling me from within me. I only know I suffer mind control. Either way, I feel there is another person that uses my physical being and that activity and those memories are blocked from me.

I have zero evidence to support any of this nor do I have any symptoms of MPD. I simply believe it because I am crazy and delusional.
