Hi welcome.
Why do you suspect DID?

 

[yellow rose]

I suspect I have Dissociative disorder not otherwise specified. I have nearly all the symptoms of this one. I have different parts of myself for one including feeling like a different gender. I also have parts that feels like animals. I struggle with depersonalisation aswell. I also struggle with shifts in personality and changes in behaviour and the way I hold myself. I also sometimes have thoughts that feel they are snatched away from me and I have read this is also a symptom. I know it is not always best to diagnose yourself. But I have had a diagnosis in the past and all it did was cause upset. Plus I am in therapy at the moment.

It is unwise to go the self diagnosis route. Your therapist should be able to work this out with you. Have you asked them about diagnosis?

Your description of your symptoms could fit a number of different conditions other than cPTSD and/or DID.

I would not say I am self diagnosing. I am very aware of the things I struggle with and the way that I feel inside. I have tried to talk to my therapist about this but she says she believes I have borderline personality,
But she says that just because I do not have massive amounts of amnesia that I do not have D.I.D
yet I have done research myself on DDNOS and really feel this fits
anyway regardless of what is wrong with me I just wanted to join this forum to get support from others who can relate to how much of a struggle it is being like this at times.

DID is not DDNOS.

They are different severities of dissociation.

Welcome!

Ditto for me. Hang in there and remember you're not alone.

I’ve edited your thread title to reflect this.

Welcome to the community.

Welcome :)

Get to a psychiatrist and a therapist, if you haven't already! Both can be really helpful when you're pinning down your symptoms, and then when you're deciding how to go forward with treatment.
