Dissociative Disorders - Can You Relate?

[Cerulean Synapse]

Suffering from a dissociative disorder is hard, because everything is always changing and you don't know who you are when you do switch or depersonalizing. I know back in 2004 I can't recall who I was, where I was, if I had a brother and sister. People have to tell me I did have family back then and that it wasn't implanted as a false memory in my head. The trauma back then was so much and I didn't even remember it. I didn't remember anything. I was a walking corpse, switching from one personality to another and no one knew, the psychiatrists, and psychologists never knew in the mental hospital for like a month until my month show me my diary and it had different hand writing and names on it. I know what you are going through. I will drawing something one day and say I didn't draw that, one of my others did, it's not my work. I mean if I do that half of my art is not my work as half of them are pretty good artists with different styles. And writing is not my forte but apparently to someone in the system it is totally their cup of tea. And gaming wow, I've never been a gamer, but one thing I have been consistent with is anime. I like watching that and I guess my whole group can pretty much tolerate that without changing the channel on me.

I hope this helps. Dissociation is hard to diagnose and hard to treat and some psychiatrists don't believe in it and some believe it falls directly under PTSD. I believe it's a totally different diagnosis.
