Dissociative disorders - causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, pathology

[@ImagineDroplet]

I have recently realized that I have a personality disorder. Watching this video is helping me process and understand what is happening, so I thank you for that. I am sure it is dissociative identity disorder, though I'm not entirely sure which one. I'll explain my circumstances. I only recently genuinely realized what was happening, but I think it has advanced over time. I experienced some abuse when I was younger from a handful of adults. Due to a mix of autism and anxiety, I become stressed much more easily than is typical. I got used to talking to myself from the third person to calm myself down, starting from a very young age. Over time it became less me and more of their own self. They helped me deal with stress. Eventually, I started forgetting anything that caused _any_ stress, good or bad. Eventually I realized that they are taking over and dealing with situations that cause us stress. I still have the memories, and I can see what happens, but it's detached and removed. I struggle to remember much of anything important, because the stress causes them to push it away. I came across this video because I am writing an essay focusing on gender expression with a dissociative disorder, and it has been very helpful to have an outline of what the spectrum of the disorder is! I am excited to put the information to good use. Have a lovely day!!

Yesterday, my wife forgot the last 7 years of her life due to prolonged stress. She reverted back to her personality from 7 years ago and remembers things from that time very vividly but can't remember anything that happened after or anyone that she met after that time... can anyone help me understand how to deal with that? Is it dissociative amnesia, or can it be something else? I'd really appreciate any information I can get.

[@bloodreaver6097]

@safakashif3603 I am following her case with a psychologist, we haven't reached a firm diagnosis yet, but in the meanwhile, I'm also trying to educate myself on the matter. Thank you for your prayers!

Overt versus covert, as i understand, only refers to the system's capacity to mask in daily life, covert systems usually have alters that can mimic others easily with less noticible diferences between them, overt systems are usually composed of vastly diferent alters that cannot mimic eachother, making masking really hard. The video most closely describes the difference between OSDD and DID, OSDD is a category for people that doesn't fully fall into the DID diagnosis but still have alters in a way, but those alters can't front or front for very short amounts of time, with little to no amnesia (and this is still an oversimplification), DID on the other hand has alters that can front from a couple of minutes to days, weeks, months or even years! Amnesia is present, but it can be blackout amnesia (nothing is shared between alters), or emotional amnesia (the memories are shared, but the emotions tied to the memory aren't, if feels like watching the memory from a screen, like it's someone else's, because in a sense it realy is). From the point about DID systems having fugues and memory loss, it's only a matter of perspective, because what an alter such as the host can experience life as a segmented mess, the system as a whole has a continuous life, meaning that if an alter can't remember doing something, like buying groceries, i'm certain the alter who did it can.

i have dissociative identity disorder but i never ever remembered any traumatice events happening to me in fact, my life was always perfect, at least from my memories, and even right now the only thing i can remember is bullying in primary school, but they didn't even do anything to me, just ignored how did i end up like this

[@royzr8892]

Your subconscious mind still remembers the bad situations you went through and hides them from you so that you do not remember them and get hurt

[@jaysencorbett4974]

Are you confident in who you are as a person? Your identity

[@FallenSummer84]

Yup me too!

[@JanelleCaisse02]

I was told by my social worker that I have Dissociative Identity Disorder. And I'm trying to learn more. I believe that I only have 2 alters and my main, real Identity. Only became aware 2 years ago. I was always wondering why I couldn't remember things. I am 22 now. And coping better.

[@sr2291]

There are more. You just are not recognizing them yet.

[@jujulachlan11]

[@SarahMarie-j2n]

Unless that social worker also has a degree in clinical psychology, then you must take whatever diagnosis they give you with a grain of salt. If you wish for an actual diagnosis, then you must seek an actual psychologist.

There's this girl I love but she has d.i.d, so Im taking the time to learn about it so I can understand her a lot better and clearer. So she can open up more and get treatment

[@doggoo69]

I think i have derealization or just some symptoms. I like feel like ihave brain fog most of the times and after a week or so i just feel like im 'alive'. Like I suddenly think "oh wait im alive" and then begin to take notice of my surroundings and stuff, and realizing i was feeling brain fogged the whole entire week. I have tried thinking "im alive" during times where i feel not connected to the world but it doesn't work and i would still feel not really in the moment. And whenever i listen to music alone in my room i get light headed and dance along the music like i feel not happy instead uncomfy. So i have been stopping listening to music so i wont feel light headed again.
