Does this happen to anyone else?

I am obsessed with religion. Not just one, though. All of it, from Animism to Mormonism, from Judaism to Hinduism. So, I have a lot of religious texts, and books on mythology, (and evolution). Well, sometimes I feel like reading one in particular, and I look for it, only to discover that I have thrown it out or packed it in the bottom of my closet. Because, you see, ...

Might be TRIGGERS as I will write as it comes

Good day to all,
Here is my first post, it's not easy to write but I'll try to be as clear as my emotional state allows me. Which is not easy.
I met my partner/husband 3 years ago. When we met it was fireworks and magic Love, something very strong and unexpected as we were absolutely not looking for a relationship at that time. Anyway ...

1) Do you ever experience yourself as more than one personality at the same time?

2) Do you ever experience yourself as having changed dramatically from one point of time to another when what really happened is you changed personalities? So, I guess... a confusion of identity?

3) Can some alters be subject to a (distinct) mental illness which others do not have? For instance, a delusional disorder?

4) Can mind-altering drugs bring you into ...

Hi everyone :)

I am sorry. Post deleted.

4 years ago, I saw a therapist for the first time because I started having extreme memory loss after a trip back home that sort of brought all the trauma to mind (well, the stuff I didn't repress). The therapist diagnosed me with DID but I thought she was insane at the time. It just didn't seem to fit. I've been going back and forth between acceptance and denial ever since. I recognize three full ...

Anyone know if dissociate disorders worsen with age?

Hi. I'm new here. I don't have an official diagnosis, but when I took the test on this website, I kept wanting to say, "Yes! How did you know?"

I am wondering if you all can relate to what I have always been dealing with. Ever since I was a child, I have felt that I don't know who I am. I mean, I think that 'normal' people feel one way about something, and that's ...

Hi everybody. I have been looking forward to posting, but have been too emotionally trashed. I can barely get out of bed.

Reading here really encouraged me to be more intentional about communicating with myselves. My tdoc has been wanting me to do it every day, and has been trying to alleviate my fears. So anyway, I finally had a meeting, and I got an earful from a new (to me) person named Hawley. She ...

Hey Hey

Just wanting some advice really. Every time someone mentions abuse or attacks, or it comes on TV etc, Mara ‘faints’. Not so groovy. Normally I'm around anyway, and I switch out so no-one really notices (Im the only one who can mimic her). I just need to know what we can do to stop it happening. What if I'm not around? She’s out cold at the moment because a colleague told a joke ...

Hi all,

I have been diagnosed with bipolar, borderline, ADD, left temporal lobe partial seizures, substance abuse, and PTSD at various times. I take meds which seem to help, which makes me think that the bipolar and ADD and seizure diagnoses are accurate. About a year and a half ago my husband came with me to my pdoc (psychiatrist) appt because he felt there was something wrong beyond the bipolar. He was doing things like ...
