Help- I'm new here...

Postby pinky140 » Sun Feb 14, 2010 5:43 am

I am not too sure where to begin but I will do my best.

Ive felt for years that I have alter-egos inside and alot of counsellors I saw for life trauma events just medicated me heavier...

I am not medication free and it seems that I definitely have other personalities living inside me. HEre are some of the things I experience and have for a few years

internal conversations (INSIDE my head. I dont hear voices from outside)

rapid and distinct mood changes?switches in which my eyes apparently change as well at times???

feeling like i dnt belong in this body (Too young for a 31 yr old body)

sleep problems

memory loss sometimes (not big lapses..but days of the week/times etc)

parts of me have issues with time...almost an obsession. ill elaborate in another post

also obsession with colors at times

losing track of money? different preferences at different times (cig,. brand, coffee-sugar/cream pref, etc)

im a bit in denial altho i have a sense that wat i fewel is pretty much accurate from wat ive read on D.I.D.

HELP!!

Not sure where to begin answering, but I will do my best :P

I don't think you have DID, but please keep in mind, I am not, nor is anyone here, a professional psychologist, and therefore cannot diagnose you.

Honestly it just sounds like you're bugging from your medications. And a lot of your list sounds like it could be from the medication, or list of other disorders.

If you REALLY want to figure out if you are DID or not, you need to seek out a professional PSYCHOLOGIST, not a psychiatrist. DID is NOT something that has a medication. It needs to be talked out and worked through. Pill doctors are the ABSOLUTE WORST thing you can do to treat DID.

I'll spare you a rant about what I think of pills and pill doctors. :mrgreen:

Hope I put you in the right direction. Feel free to ask as many questions as you like. But if you ask a hundred, I am soooooo not answering all of them, lol.

I also recommend reading through a lot of the older posts on here for a better understanding of DID.

I do/at some time have experienced some of the things you've described. However that doesn't necessarily mean DID. As Mr Bates said, they can be explained by other disorders or even your medication.

Probably is worth seeing a psychologist and hopefully you'll be able to get a bit more help/a diagnosis.

sorry i can't be of more help

Sorry, but we cannot concentrate long enough to read really long replies or threads so don't think we're being rude if we don't.

Welcome!

Could be DID, there are some signs there. But definitely talk to a therapist. The drugs could be causing your symptoms, or you could have a more severe case and the drugs are masking the symptoms (no idea if this is possible, but it sounds plausible).

How young is feeling too young for your body ?
Do you feel like a child sometimes ?
I'm not talking about feeling 'childish' or even acting childish but 'knowing' your a child and you are seriously distressed to some degree with your body because it is either too big, or the wrong sex, or .... whatever .....
