Actually I do remember one time I spent the time over my cousins house and when I woke up in the morning my cuz's mother in law said "so who was on the phone?" I told her I don't know I didn't even hear the phone ringing. She told me that I got up answerede the phone and had like an hour long conversation with whoever was on there. I still have no idea what happened, and most especially who was on the phone. Does this help anyone help me to figure out if this is my problem? I think I'll just talk to my doc ASAP. Id still like to have ur input though.

do you really want us to figure out your problems?

i would think just chatting back and forth seeing how you relate to people here, whether or not you and if they relate to you would be more helpful.

Shrinks figure out your problems. Support groups talk, listen, interact, challenge, support, inform, reach out, educate and most importantly, entertain.

something that happens to me its has happened all my life...

i get these things that happen i have always called them switches... it's really difficult to explain...

suddenly without warning, against my will or control, the way i see perceive interpret feel believe everything changes suddenly and instantly. alot of times i can physically feel the switches. i can be right in the middle of a conversation telling you that a cloud looks like a strawberry and that i really like strawberries and even remembering a funny story about a strawberry. then all of the sudden i switch and i don't see a strawberry in the cloud anymore. instead i see turtle. i won't want to look at the turtle or the cloud much less want to talk about it. if you ask me then about the strawberries i will tell you i hate strawberries and whats it to you anyway? then i will feel another switch and i will start crying wondering why you are mad at me? as i walk away, i most likely wont even remember talking to you but sometimes i remember the feeling of the switching and the other things i heard that you didn't hear.

I know what you are talking about with the "arguing in your head" That was my first sign. I asked my doc and after a few questions she knew. I am just dissosiative with unknow specifications. I am not all the way a multiple, closer to a split. I have jus been diagnosed so my doc and I still have alot of work to do to figure out what ALL is going on.

I thought when I joined this group I could just post my symptoms and people would help me and talk more about the facts. I would instantly feel normal.
That I would slowly be assured by all that they believed in my personalities.

I was so worried that I would be made fun of.
That by asking if I sound like I fit the bill would reassure me. If one person would agree I wouldnt feel so alien here.

I slowly learned by going back and reading over a lot of the posts that nobody is the same.

I learned a lot from reading those old posts and advices. I wasnt so shy to just admit it to the group and let them take me as I am. No holds bar. Honestly without reading the advices on this community I dont know if I would have ever openly admitted my DID.

Only you know deep inside if there are others in you. Only the doctor can confirm it.

But, I would like to say in my opinion..
Voices argueing back and forth... Someone filling you in on something you did that same day that you dont recall. These are definatly symptoms of something. Wondering if you also had so serious past trauma to add to the list???
I really found the website.. www.strangerinthemirror.com so helpful.. I read all the articles, and symptoms.

. I realized DID is not as rare as I thought.

Hi alimac, looking back on some of the old threads would be helpful ... those that are trying to explain the dynamics of DID. Bless you with good stuff SueBee

It sounds to me like you could be starting to become aware of it if you have it...which is a good thing.

Just be careful and don't get discouraged, because many medical and psych professionals don't even believe this condition exists, or that it is very rare if it does exist.

While uncommon, I personally don't think it is all that rare.

What I think is, that it is relatively new in the medical and psych world, and that a lot of us manage to keep it under wraps just because of that -- there is no safe and/or dependable access to reliable help.

So, just take it slow, and ask around until you find someone that is WELL trained and experienced with this stuff.

Wow, thanx though for what u did say, I am going to talk to my councillor about it and I wasn't trying to get people to figure out my problems I was just trying to get someone to talk to me and see what they think and give me advice.

Bless you alimac. I know you just want some support. You didn't do anything wrong asking ... we are just not equipped to offer the benefits of therapy and didn't want you to not get that kind of help, too. Stick with us if you want and we will do our best to love you with safe love. SueBee
