News of Dissociative Disorder NOS Forum

One of the first things that my therapist noted that hinted at my multiplicity was that I was switching how I would refer or talk to myself, even in the middle of phrases.

For instance, she asked me what I was doing after my session, and I said "I think I'm going to try and get some shopping done. Wait, no - we won't have time. Well, you could make time."

Once I ...

So I'm not diagnosed. Just to be clear. I've been having other people in my head for about ten years now and I only nos have fully spoken to a osychologist about it. When i first talked about it a psychologist said it wasn't her area of expertise and I'd need to speak to someone else about it. I was upset so I never brought it up again, convincing myself I just made it up. ...

I think this topic is better for the NOS forum.

I'm not officially diagnosed with anything, I should say. I've just been researching on my own time when I am able to. I've been trying to get into a mental health program for a while, but it's hard to get anything back or to get anywhere with dissociative issues. There have been a number of roadblocks. It is still a priority of mine, but I ...

Hello! This is my first post here and it's kind of an explanation on why I joined. I was diagnosed with DID fairly young--- I always struggled with general DPDR but started showing some extreme behavior in my teens (like, there were people in my life who knew exactly which alter was which before any of us had any idea of what DID was).

I'm so grateful I caught it when I did, because my ...

I used to have DID... after many years of growth and healing, and practice, I don't know if DID is still the right description. I am still in parts, but less distinct and rarely in conflict anymore. Until a recent major stressor, I was going years at dormant levels with a single host fronting for the whole system. Now things are shaken up and there are switches again... but the differences are muffled now and ...

Unsure if this falls under this category.

My wife has severe PTSD from a few traumatic experiences in her life from as young as 7 years old. She has attempted to explain to me that her mind is similar to what we see in the movie DreamCatcher. She has never seen the movie. She explains she is able to erase memories at will or “file them away”.

3 years ago she was having a episode ...

Hi.

I was just recently diagnosed with PTSD and OSDD, I don't know which one because my therapist was pretty casual about it and I didn't even know to ask. From what I read, I guess it would be 1a, but I don't even feel like I do that. I don't feel like I have parts. I just don't remember a lot of things. I do space out. I do the maladaptive daydreaming every day ...

Basically, I just wanted opinions as to if it's dissociation, and if it's related to a dissociative disorder or just depression/trauma response.

I use to do this daily in high school, but then it stopped for a while, and lately, it's come back. For a while now, daily, I wake up and stay in bed for 5-6 hours doing absolutely nothing other then daydreaming/thinking/being in a blank state of mind, and it feels like only ...

I had a traumatic childhood. My father was an alcoholic who was either missing (at the bar) or when he was home he was abusive. My mother was unfeeling, and acted as if my sisters and I were her slaves. I was either neglected or forced to do her work for her. When I was 11 my father had a breakdown and tried to commit suicide *mod edit- graphic detail*

After he was taken to ...

*possible trigger warning for brief mention of abuse*

Hi all. So I’ve been wondering since college (almost a decade ago) if I have a dissociative disorder. I know that I experienced emotional and physical child abuse until I was 17, when I was diagnosed with PTSD. Also diagnosed with ADHD (not sure if I really have that or if it was a misdiagnosis, depression (hospitalized freshman year of college) anxiety, self harm history. I ...
