Sense of self

Hello. What is suffering from DID like?
I dont know if I suffer from this, but my experience is the following one.
I want to have a conversation with myself and instead of myself answers another voice. I want to think something and another voice grabs my thought and this thought stops being mine. I take antipsychotics and I am much better now. I can have a conversation with myself for example, my other parts are less active, but the mechanism of changing to another person is still here. I may meet new parts too. I try not to pay a lot of attention to my other parts, but I can hear them chatting for example, using other names and other appearances. My doctor wants me to go to a professional that is something more than a simple psychiatrist, to stop believing I suffer from a dissociative disorder and see that I suffer from psyhchosis.

If you go to a professional who doesn't believe in dissociative disorders, then they won't diagnose you with that even if it is what you have. The symptoms that you describe sound like DID and don't sound like psychosis.

Antipsychotic medications do not treat dissociation--they might temporarily silence alters, but that is not a step toward healing.

If there is someone in your country who specializes in treating dissociative disorders, then it might be a good idea to see them and describe your symptoms to them.

It's never a good idea to let anyone, even a professional, convince you that you don't have symptoms that you KNOW that you have. If you are aware of parts with their own names, different appearances, and different thoughts and feelings, I don't think that can really BE anything else but DID or OSDD--no other disorder has alternate identities. It is often misdiagnosed as psychosis, and then people are given the wrong treatment.

You are the expert on your own experience, and a good mental health professional will validate your experience--not try to convince you that it isn't true.
