How not to freak yourself by reading into every little thing

So, since discussing DID as a potential diagnosis, I am just noticing more things...things I would have blown off before as nothing, but now wonder if I have more time loss than I thought.

***Triggers: vague harming reference***
First, there was evidence of hurting myself that looked less than a week old, but of a particular type that had not been done in over a month. It is something that could have been caused in some other way, I suppose, without me noticing it...but in the location I almost always do that particular thing (not that it is extremely frequent, but it started a couple months into therapy and has been occasional when things get pretty bad...I only have one other instance of not fully remembering doing it). It was really minor and didn't hurt very much.

Then, when I went to take some Advil for another killer headache before my Monday night session, I felt extreme deja vu as if I had just gotten some, but I couldn't remember getting any. I was sure I could see myself getting them out of the drawer, getting a glass of water, seeing myself in the mirror in the same outfit, taking them...but I couldn't remember doing it. Easy to write off, because I get really strong deja vu a few times a week (usually about particular conversations or things I am writing or a series of thoughts (internal conversation, I guess). That has been the case since I was really young. Anyway, it felt like I had dreamed doing it and then did it again a little later.

Both of these first ones, I told my therapist, but also with a sort of, "It's probably nothing, but since I noticed them and it bothered me a bit..." He agreed that it sounded pretty vague, but it was good to share.

Now, our daughter is suddenly scared to ride her bike and keeps saying "Mommy make me fall" or "Daddy make me fall" every time she tries. She wants to ride it, but gets too scared, keeps putting on the breaks. She's never done more than tipped a bit and we've always caught her and she's only been upset about not letting her back on the bike quickly enough. No unexpected scars, but she did say her knee has been hurting her lately (could be anything). I am probably reading into something that is just a kid who has forgotten how to ride a bike during a brief wet weather spell and a bit scared about it. But, just hearing my daughter repeatedly say I'm going to make her fall in a scared voice is really bothering me. No one other than my husband or I has had access to take her out riding, so I know it's not someone else. Maybe she saw something on TV. Less than a week and I'm already sick of overreacting over stupid things like this and her helmet being in a different place than I keep it. I don't know whether I should keep being so hyper-vigilant, because I have a kid, or just try not to get myself so worked up about stuff that probably means nothing. I am being too paranoid here, right?

You probably are being a little too paranoid, but I can understand it. With your daughter and the bike, maybe put the training wheels on until she regains her confidence. It's completely natural to forget how to ride when it's been a while. Also, she's been saying that mum and dad make her fall - not just you. That sounds to me more like it's something she's seen on TV.

As you work on communication within your system, it might be useful to have others write down when they take a medication so that you know if you feel a sense of deja vu if it's because someone else only just did that or if it's just the same old things from your whole life. I get a lot of deja vu - took me years to work out I was having dreams that later on happened.

It's not unusual to have another alter who self harms, and that very possibly could have been what happened to cause that particular harm on that particular place.

It's good that you told your therapist.
