Awareness of another host/altar being created?, TW

I was under alot of emotional stress about 16 months ago, and in the middle of a crisis I felt some kind of "electrical shock"(not painful, just some sort of buzz) in my brain/body, don't know how else to explain it. Lasted maybe for about 2 seconds, and after that everything changed.
Could this be a creation of a new altar or something else?

hi there and welcome to the forum


Have you a dx for a dissociative disorder of some kind?

There are meny physical symptoms associated with changes and communication between syteems such as migranes though the exact description you give dose not remind me of this.


You said you had, had;

this kind of buzz of fuzzy buzz can be symtomatic of acute anxiety. It can litually hit you like a lighting
strike from the skull down to your toes and frezze you still and you can feel if strikes through?!? Or you can get it just in you head or side of face?

BUT like i said this is common in situations of high levels of stress and high levels of stress can cause alters / system changes/ alter creations/ host changes etc.


You have given a very short description, if you could fill out some more information on if you have a dx, your system? is it stable at the moment? etc then maybe everyone could help out a bit more.



we all hope that you are doing ok though

I have a dissociative dx, but which type has not been found out about yet.
I have had this happening before, the weird feeling in my body when I have a major change, I just don't know how many times. I think the one I was before the last change happened has "died".
The voices in my head are alot more quiet than before, maybe because all I do is go to work,
go home and watch tv. Because watching movies makes me feel safe, and as long as I don't
do too much of anything the voices are calm. I don't seem to being able to pay attention to the movies all the time because when my SO discuss as we watch I have apparently lost something, because I cannot at all remember what my SO is talking about, it's also confusing when I can't recognize the people starring the movie(they seem to change), but at least I feel calm.
I am more isolated than before, I used to talk to my friends, and I remember voices in my head with all their opinions, but now it seem like I go away in my mind whenever someone wants to talk to me.

Well that's not completely true
I can have conversations with people when I am at work or visiting my family, but it's like a "switch, you just tune yourself into talkmode when it's needed,(which I guess is normal)
alot of times I can't remember what was being discussed. When people come into my office to talk, and then leave, i'm puzzled, I could hear my self laugh, but don't remember why,
and what was it that we talked about...? Feels like I'm constantly drunk.

I recently felt something similar. I gotta tell you, I don't have DID, but I felt exactly what you described.

I felt a buzz, like an electrical shock, inside my skull. I tried researching it on the web, but haven't found anything, yet.

I can't tell you if that could be a new alter being formed. I don't have alters. However, I'm wondering what this could be.

I can tell you how it happened to me:

I was in bed, thinking, and suddenly BUZZ. Once. What the heck was that? I had no idea, it didn't hurt, it just felt so weird. Was it an electrical impulse in my brain? Who knows. Then again. BUZZ. twice. Then BUZZ again. Third time.

There were like a minute or two of separation between each buzz.

You mentioned that this buzz happened when you were under a lot of stress, and that you "had this happening before, the weird feeling in my body when I have a major change, I just don't know how many times."

I think I'm under some stress, not a lot. And changes? humm... I'm going through some. So still looking what could have caused it.

I'm, though, working hard on a subject. And I read, and read, and read, and try to understand a topic, so don't know if that's related.

I'm gonna keep looking at it, and if I find anything else, I'll tell you.

Take care,

Those "electrical" sensations usually are symptoms of severe anxiety. Usually they are not related to the formation of a new alter, although on occasion they can be. If a new alter was formed in your system, you will find out because an alter will come forward whose history begins then. Try not to worry about what might be; focus on what is.

One time when I met someone I experienced an electrical shock and an alter formed, but that part of my story is not typical for DID. My story is related in the thread linked in my signature.
