Hello, I've been reading threads here without creating an account to gain info here and there before this. Call me Challiel and I've just recently reached adulthood.
My question?
I've been showing symptoms of DID (Undiagnosed) but don't really fit the full criteria. I've been curious about it since it seemed to be more obvious, especially after the pandemic. I used to think that these voices i often talk to were just imaginary friends that will probably fade with time as i grew older but somehow it didn't. That got me worried at that time and thinking if it was normal for one to often talk to themselves, to often find themselves not fully knowing who they are at times, often find themselves more comfortable with various names that just didn't make sense.
I've been denying having any sort of mental health issue because of the environment i grew up in. And after briefly finding out about Partial DID in the ICD-11, i found it scary how accurate of an explanation it was to my situation. At this point, I've already normalised talking to the characters or well people in my head but it still scares me if something might happen. And because i don't have anyone reliable or anyone i can trust to discuss this with, I've kept it to myself for the longest time. It's hard to open up about something to people who might openly avoid me if i said something different from the normality of things . . .
Anyways, enough of me. I hope i can grow and learn with everyone here, even though it takes a bit more reading than usual ^
