I Have Dissociative Identity Disorder
I was at work and a co-worker was saying words. And prompted me to respond. I meant to say something that would acceptably get her to repeat herself, because I wasn’t listening. Instead, I told her that I wasn’t listening to her and hadn’t a clue what she said. I don’t know where that came from and I truly didn’t mean to say that. It was upsetting to me, but it’s not like she didn’t deserve brutal honesty after all she’s done.
Another time the boss asked me about the location of a book. I didn’t remember that book at all. An answer came to mind, so I answered the question, a coworker had borrowed the book.
Sometimes I am driving and become startled, because of suddenly realizing that I’m in the car. Also that I don’t know where I am or where I’m going or why. I have to check the day and time to see what part of my routine I should be on. I also have to mentally check whether I have any appointments.
Many times I get in the car and can’t remember how to get the car to move. It’s because the car isn’t in drive, the key isn’t in the car, or the key is in but not turned.
