DID is kind of freaking me out!

Postby nickip212 » Wed Jul 27, 2011 4:47 am

Ok so having DID is kind of freaking me out...I litterally felt like I just "woke up" about an hour or 2 ago even though my mom said I was up the whole day and we watched a movie and looking at what was posted I know Little Nicki was up and it's her birthday but I DIDN'T type the responses from everyone's happy birthday's to her like it looks like I did. Someone pretended to be me in my system and I know it is Nicki 5 because I just asked her and she said that it was her...

has anyone else ever had an alter pretend to be you? it was the weirdest feeling like I woke up from a nap or something its hard for me to describe.....
:(
I prefer the name Jinx

I do have alters that pretend to be me. It really upsets my close friend and usually causes relationship problems. I don't have any tips but wanted to let you know that you are not alone in being freaked out.

All the time. Just some alts here, dont pretend. It's so confusing, often causes trouble indeed, but was designed to keep us out of trouble.
To make us seem normal and present. We survive by seeming one, although I cant tell you exactly why we're so determined that we do survive like this. Oh I might know. One says that it's to keep from ourselves(and possibly others) that something is wrong with us. I guess to keep us from digging further and finding out that we have alters maybe? So that the secrets they hold stay secret so we stay functional. But I honestly dont know if this is the (only) reason. It's weird anyway because people who really know me, f.e. partner, can tell it anyhow with most, even if we pretend.
DID freaks me out too, even while I'm working on it for quite some years already. It's all so weird. But yet it's our normal, or supposed to be our normal. Sometimes it's hard or even impossible to stay positive.

Constantly. Eric is the worst for it. He maybe up front, but will not identify that he is in control, instead pretends to be me all the time. It's only in the past few months that our best friends, doctor and caregiver have been able to tell if it is me or Eric or another up front. (Jason)
