Because why would a person with Ocd say dont touch me followed by I didnt touch you. When nobody was touching them. Or go to sleep followed by dont go to sleep when I wasnt even getting ready to sleep. Its not based on reality.

Well that sounds DIDish, does it not? I'm more the OSDD type- which irritates my main alt, she whinges it makes her even less 'real', but still... that sounds DID to me, right? I'm well familiar with unwelcome, disturbing intrusive thoughts, but as is typical with OCD, they're addressing fears that I'm going to do something harmful, inappropriate, or such.

Also don't know that sounds very Schizophrenic. As I mentioned somewhere, I don't have much (any) book learning about it, but do have years of firsthand exposure to that, and yeah... a lot of paranoia, a lot of people whispering about you that aren't, a lot of people looking at you that aren't, a lot of people watching you that aren't even there, impulse control issues and problems dealing with strong negative emotions. And a lot of heavy meds to barely keep it in check. Meds you don't want to be on, unless the only other option is to be locked away.

I'm not getting a Schizophrenic vibe, here. OCD, DID, sure. But not that. I don't think you'd be so... intellectually aware, that they're thoughts. I mean, I can do some mean magical thinking, but always there's a tiny part of me mumbling 'this is bullcrap...'

Who said people with DID don't relate? It's all we've been telling you that we do relate, and that is how DID can feel like. We've been telling you that since the start about various symptoms, with many different examples. Also about the symptoms you don't count. It's you who don't relate with us even after all that, and an official diagnosis. We have told you it's all normal in DID when you are still discovering it, repeatedly. It's you who's been refusing to believe that.

We have also told you various times you can not have schizophrenia without having repeated psychosis, and you don't sound psychotic. In psychosis you believe in voices in your head 100% and don't question they are true, and don't say they don't make sense. It's you who refuses to listen to what we actually answer, not us telling we don't relate. Because we do. And still, we do not do diagnostics in here, because we are not qualified. It hasn't changed, and it will not change. You have already been diagnosed by professionals, and I still don't see anything that doesn't match with the diagnosis you have.

You don't have to like it, you don't have to agree, but you can not come to tell us what we relate with and what not. We are judges of that, like you are the judge of how you feel and what you relate with.

You can have an ability to stop the conversation in DID. Not all have it, some can have, some may have it sometimes and sometimes not. All systems are different and symptoms vary a lot even inside one system, and even more between different systems. Several people answered to you and told it doesn't mean it has to be something else than DID because you made it stop. That's what you asked.

If you don't like the answers you get, it doesn't mean people didn't relate with you.

No, they didn't.

Also remember that fear of having/getting Schizophrenia is I think actually pretty common with pwOCD. In the OCD forum it comes.. well everything comes a distance behind the modern spate of sexual fears (H/T/POCD) but at one time I had informally judged that schizophrenia fears run just behind harm fears in the OCD forum. Other fears are drowned out by sexually afraid young people, but we do get the occasional fear of being schizophrenic posted in forum. Being worried you might be schizophrenic, doesn't itself sound schizophrenic to me, but it does sound very OCD to me.
