10:56 AM - The person underneath where does he go
[ ]
So I've been recently informed I have symptoms of multiple personality disorder. Yeah the symptoms part just kills me.
Apparently I have certain ways of coping with situations that are parallel to the coping skills of m/ps. He feels I may have split as a child but through adolescence when things calmed down around me I may have merged.
Well this sure can explain a lot of stuff like my extreme mood swings and weeks where I don't feel "right".

Everybody has different "sides" to their personality. We all act "differently" when were around certain people like parents compared to friends. So because we are still the same core person in all of these transformations of ourselves this is seen as normal.

So when I start to get the creepy's up my back and my spine and jaw stiffen, as it so often does when my body decides to prepare itself for any type of attack, I'm to take a deep breath and write down what the situation is that got me in that state. It's now 12:45pm and I have 8 incidents so far today. It can be as simple as one word or even just a smack of a fist on the desk.

I use to be so against therapy but I really wish I had of did this 15-20yrs ago as it is totally fascinating. Of course it helps to be such a good case study in oneself. LOL

I really find Dr. P's findings of me rather interesting because I never told him about a certain incident that could have been the day of my "splitting". I was in yet another situation that repeated itself often in my childhood and it was just too much to bear this time. I was home for lunch and all I wanted to do was eat my lunch and watch The Flintstones before going back to school. I should have know that others had my lunch already planned out. So once found in said situation I closed my eyes really tight and started floating towards the ceiling where I opened my eyes and looked down on myself. Seeing myself from this perspective gave me a kind of strength where I found the will to scream "no". As soon as I spoke I was back in my body and scrambling away from the situation.
I've only ever told this story once to BB as no matter how I wrote it out it just seemed unbelieveable and even saying it to someone made me seem even crazier.

All I know is that after that incident I had an inner strenght of sorts that even today I go back to the strength of that 6yr old as she seemed to have more strength then I ever will have.

Everyone has different sides to their personalities, this is true. Sometimes we may be serious and sometimes playful. Some people may show a change in their personalities when they are drinking or using drugs. Yes, but dissociative (or multiple) personality disorder is different. In it, more than one distinct identity exists within a person's body. These identities control behavior. The person has an inability to remember important personal information, and it's a problem too severe to be explained by ordinary forgetfulness.

The person with a dissociative identity disorder has a primary identity that usually carries the individual's given name. This identity is usually depressed, guilty, passive, and dependent. Other identities, or personalities, generally have their own names, likes, dislikes, and skills. Different personalities may act like they have different ages, genders, or races. There may be as few as two identities or more than one hundred. The personalities may or may not have knowledge of the others.

Stress tends to bring on changes in personalities.

Truly, this disorder totally creeps me out. I could never fully understand what it must be like for someone with an all out case of this disorder.

If they dig deep enough they can find anything. If it works for you, then what's the problem? If it doesn't, get it sorted.

Sometimes i believe that there is too much thinking and not enough doing. What ever. I'm sending you a hug.

There.

      You do have it you survived and are getting help, that is not an easy thing to do. Not knowing your situation I can only say that to have survived this long you had to have some strength somewhere and now you have to incorporate it all together, and you will :-)
      Good luck to you.

      I've been through therapy sooo many times. (We've discussed this before) What I would really enjoy doing now is to be studied by someone. I would like someone to listen to all of my shit and figure out exactly why I am the way that I am. Next Friday I am beginning my six month long stint as a guinea pig in the drug trial for the new version of effexor that is being developed.

      Just think, there is only a 50% chance that I will even get the actual medication!!!
