I've been diagnosed with bipolar for almost ten years ago. The trouble is I have been notoriously difficult to treat. Most recently they decided I was a rapid-cycler. PTSD has also been suggested or personality disorder. I'm completely confused, because so many psychiatric dxs and disorders have overlapping or similar symptoms and it just seems like various docs are just making guesses and I don't think they really know what they think.

:cry: Recently I was on a job interview and I dissociated during the middle of it. The next thing I remember is the lady talking to me and I had no idea what it was she was talking about.

Is it possible to only have one (therefore 2 personalitys total)?

A year ago to this month I began seeing a psychiatrist for the first time in my life. I didn't know what to expect, except that I knew I had a problem. My guess then would have been depression, as those close to me guessed the same. By the end of my 1st meeting with my new psychiatrist he told me he sees symptoms of dissociative disorder. I didnt even know what that was when ...
