Are all of your alters distinct different personalities? Is that they way it work for everyone? I have voices in my head that are resident distinct personality facets (as I call them). The have different like, dislikes, when stronger / in charge dress differently and act moderately differently. But, they don't have distinct names, genders (other than mine), ages, or anything more than something akin to saved resident bipolar personality states (yes, I have bipolar ...

That is what my pdoc suggested today. I told him that I had this perfectionistic / religious OCD voice in my head constantly berating me and crushing me. I told him that she tells me that I am a bad person, that I deserve to suffer, that I will always suffer, and that I will eventually go to hell no matter what I do because I am just a bad person at my core. He ...

I am in my late teens, and I have been living what would probably be considered a typical teenage life. My problem, or what has become a problem is that I am no longer able to feel the emotion of worrying. I can feel any other emotion in the world, but Im simply unable to get or feel worried about anything. This is a problem because it is affecting my school performance, and probably affecting ...

Does anyone think that there is true HPD's on this forum? How can that be when they don't reflect or don't even know themselves? Or have empathy.

has anyone actually been truly diagnosed on this forum?

:? I am paranoid, have delusional beliefs, and I have mild hallucinations (weird grey shapes floating around, tiny colourful dots falling mostly). I sometimes hear voices (usually more than one voice calling out my name (the voices often run into each other) or a voice talking to me or other voices). I am sure they're not my imagination, since I can't change what they're saying. I am ...

I don't understand it, I just don't. Or maybe I understand it all too well. Either way, my problem is that my brain seems to be against me. It comes up with formulas, theories, and reasons for why things happen that I don't want it to. It seems to combine mathematics, reasoning, and science whenever something bad happens too me, and it tries to convince me to believe it. The previous week, I was getting ...
