News of Dissociative Disorder NOS Forum

Since my last post, I've met quite a few new alters and in getting to know them I've discovered that a couple of them are fictives. They're both introjects of characters from the same game and I'm just curious as to whether this is a common thing or not? I've only ever heard people talking about their fictives as one is from - for example - Harry Potter and another is from The Simpsons or ...

I was diagnosed with a dissociative disorder while seeking therapy related to my relationship with my husband. It became very obvious that I've been dissociating since I was very small (abusive father).

Anyway, while my husband and I were dating (9 to 12 years ago), he cheated on me with multiple women. One of my parts still lives in that time and doesn't believe or trust him. Many other parts of me do and can ...

Okay so I've talked on this website before to discuss my old really horrible codependency issues to which got me into three very toxic very codependent friendships to which I wasn't comfortable if someone wasn't dependent on me, severe depression, and odd behavior that had me repeating phrases over and over in a breakdown. I primarily go on this website where I need other people who are experienced in the disorder / mentally ill discussion ...

I'm having more frequent episodes of brief dissociation, but I'm also having moments where, apparently, I'm actively continuing a conversation that I don't remember having. It doesn't seem like a lack of interest (at least I don't think it is, anyway). I didn't get much help the last time I tried discussing my heavy dissociation and memory gaps with a therapist and, short of trying to find a new therapist, I don't really know how ...

Hello!
(Just a warning, this is long)

I'm relatively new to the forums but definitely not to mental illness. I'm 20 currently, and I'm in a point in my life where I'm making sense of my childhood.

I've been diagnosed with almost a dozen mental illnesses:
PDD-NOS

MDD
GAD
Social Anxiety

Psychosis (associated with what was thought to be MDD)
Bipolar Disorder (
Bipolar 2)
OCD
ED-NOS
ADD/ADHD

PTSD

I've also lived in a place that's ...

Figuring out what subset of OSDD I have has been really difficult as I can’t find many good resources and the symptoms are hard to understand. I think that I may be OSDD 1b, at least have some form of OSDD, but the thing that really gets me on OSDD vs DID is blacking out/“co-hosting.” I’m going to use the term co-hosting for when I’m here (the core/original) in the background, watching, but someone else ...

Anybody dealing with dissociation not exactly because of DID/PTSD but because of identity disturbance and diffusion issues of Borderline Personality Disorder?

They say our "sense of self or identity is probably made up of your beliefs, attitudes, abilities, history, ways of behaving, personality, temperament, knowledge, opinions, and roles. Identity can be thought of as your self-definition; it’s the glue that holds together all of these diverse aspects of yourself..."

& For me, I have so ...

Hi all!

First time posting here so I'm a little nervous. But I'm trying to figure out what's going on with me. I've been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and OCD. Recently after being overwhelmed for months I had I guess what you could call some sort of episode. After talking about it with my therapist, she thinks I may have depersonalization/derealization disorder. I think that kind of fits, but not exactly. I've also looked into ...

I dissociate. I lose time. It happens frequently. My aunt (whom I live with) and my therapist have both witnessed it. My therapist says that I believe that I am a child again, the age that I was abused, which varies from time to time. I have complete amnesia in these instances. The last time it happened I lost 8 hours. This is strange to me because these "child like" people in me answer to ...

Hello everyone, I am new here. This is an introduction and at the same time also a question, if anyone has anything similar going on. This might be a long story, I try to keep it simple. There are few questions in the end.

Growing up, I never had a sense on self, I didn't have my own identity. I have a sister, 4 years older than me, and I was like her shadow. I ...
