Possible Parts

[BlueOrange]

I guess 'get along' is a bit oversimplified, and leaves out some important stuff. If all of someone's parts are able to 'get along' AND 'work as an effective team' then I'd say that there's not a clinically significant problem - that the person is somewhere in the 'normal' range. (Let's not forget that life can be really difficult for 'normal' people too.)

But parts not telling each other things that they need to know (as indicated above) suggests that they're not getting along well enough to be a truly effective team. So I'm not trying to disagree, I'm trying to clarify.

Okay, so I've read a few posts that mention parts. Some people with parts say they have DID and...

This is me, too. I didn't know this existed.

Does this happen at random times to you, or only when you are triggered?

I want to ask a question of anyone who can help. I am not sure which dissociation forum I should use. I had an experience today that I have never had before. Is there a forum for ... "was this dissociation or maybe a panic attack?"

I've had panic attacks before, so now I know what they are like--for me. But this one was different. It even scared me a bit. Is there a different forum that I should be in?

Not specifically, no ;) Sounds like either 'Flashbacks and Dissociation' or 'Anxiety and Panic Attacks' might fit so don't worry too much about it and just go with whichever feels most appropriate to you. If you're suspecting dissociation more than anxiety then that's probably your best bet.
