Living with Dissociative Disorder ...or so they say.

Dissociative Identity disorder & encouragement to a special someone...and to all of you....

Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a condition in which a single person displays multiple distinct identities or personalities (known as alter egos or alters), each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment. The diagnosis requires that at least two personalities routinely take control of the individual's behavior with an associated memory loss that goes beyond normal forgetfulness; in addition, symptoms cannot be the temporary effects of drug use or a general medical condition. The condition first appeared in current medical classification in the 1980 publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) classification, as multiple personality disorder (MPD), which is the term still used by the ICD-10.

There is a great deal of controversy surrounding the topic. There are many commonly disputed points about DID. These viewpoints critical of DID can be quite varied, with some taking the position that DID does not actually exist as a valid medical diagnosis, and others who think that DID may exist but is either always or usually an adverse side effect of therapy.

i believe something is wrong with me but no one in my family believes me. i feel depressed to the point where I don't want to leave the house, even though the outside world is where I can be productive. When I was 12 - 15 yrs old, I think a witch from ancient times possessed me to cut myself but it could also be because the movie "the craft" because I was into fairuza balk alot. I do feel embarrassed and I'll probably will be until I die.

@U4rikmind I can't speak on the witch part...however I do know you can overcome anything and don't let anyone tell you different. Perhaps you should seek out a therapist. It's not good to not want to leave the house because of depression. It's one thing to just be a homebody but when depression effects your everyday life...well that concerns me. I wish the best for you and thank you for commenting.

There is a bit of a difference between Dissociative Disorder and Dissociative IDENTITY Disorder. The first does not have the 'multiple personality' part so much, if at all, but does have all of the other missing time and self-harm elements. They may have just gone a step too far with your diagnosis. I was diagnosed with DD at 25, after a massive breakdown, so I've been there too. There most definitely IS hope - we might HAVE it for life, but we don't need to 'SUFFER from it' :^) Keep the faith!

@thevoiceofthewounded thank you for those nice words. I was feeling bad that day. I feel bad everyday but some days I feel like I don't know how to make it. Eventually I will and I'll do something great for the world. One day I'll talk to a therapist to get some understanding on how my brain works. I'll stand more stronger because of your nice comment. thank you again beautiful
