DID Multiple personalities but not really

LOL. Yeah, your condition is typical even in the "normal" people. Be glad :)

Yeah. I did a terrible job explaining my condition because my "intellectual" part isn't working. There. Is that a better example? I'm supposed to be intelligent but that part goes away because I feel five years old. So laugh at me. I mean I'm absolutely thrilled right now, thanks.
A f*cking writer, that's what I used to be. I try "only connect" and all, but I suck at this.

If you were to look at my posts, you'd see how I act differently, my mind runs on different tracks. damnit. I find this so frustrating. I don't know why I care, but I do. There's no need to tease.

^^ Whoa, I wasn't teasing you. I was acknowledging your apology, instead of just ignoring it. so that you didn't feel silly. Sorry for trying to be nice.

It's ok. I got it, you meant no harm. I'm sorry. It was....a bad night for me, and I'll leave it at that. Forgive my overreaction.

Believe me I've been there. I often don't take things the right way. I think a lot of us have that habit. No worries. :)

This is dead on for me. My therapist said I definitely have different parts of me that take over when I'm feeling threatened, and sometimes I can't remember what they did.

An example: I was out with a friend for NYE. We were in a pub, dancing. All of a sudden, we were outside and my friend looked white in the face. I asked what happened, and she looked confused. Apparently, a man grabbed my ass. My (quite reliable) friend said I threw him over my shoulder onto a table, and walked out of the pub. I have no memory of this at all. My therapist said that I likely dissociated, this other part of me took over to defend me, and I came around again when it was safe. (I had had two drinks that evening, not black out drunk at all).

It's scary, sometimes.

I sleep walk, a lot, extensively, especially under stress. I eat in my sleep, shower in my sleep, change into different outfits... I wake up the next morning to all these clues around me about what I was doing all night, and I'm so exhausted that I could cry. I read that sleepwalking is a type of dissociation, my therapist agreed that I might be doing things in this other "mode" while the rest of me is sleeping.
