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.

Me too except we can all drive. I been changing gears on a stick shift since I was five so that's probably why.

But I don't like driving buses. I don't mind driving a recovery truck if there's nothing on it but that's kinda pointless 😂😂

Can be annoying disorder.

I've been in this kitchen, my bf said, for 1.5 hours. As far as I know I've only been on here. The first post I read was posted just over 30mins ago so wtf have I been doing the other hour.

Better go sleep and not care lol

@shimmeringrose how much of your childhood do you remember.
shimmeringrose · 46-50, F
@Paliglass I remember only about an hour of every vacation we were ever on. I remember an hour or 2 here and there for every other year of my life. I remember that my mother was mentally ill. Everything is in fragments of just a few minutes.

How much does anyone else remember?
Paliglass · 41-45, F
@shimmeringrose I dunno. But in therapy I realised I remembered nothing. I believed I had a good normal childhood but when I started speaking I realised it was not.
My ex had this. But we were able to work out a system for the most part and everyone took turns if they wanted too. Like she never wanted to go to math class so one of the others did instead. Lol

You probably shouldn’t be driving a car...
shimmeringrose · 46-50, F
@User41 My therapist doesn’t share that concern. I have not once lost control of the car, it’s just losing the sense of where I am in town and the intended destination.

@shimmeringrose I call that a magical mystery tour
shimmeringrose · 46-50, F
@Paliglass Lol. Yes, it certainly is that. Fun times! 😄

That sounds frustrating. I’m sorry.
It's been thought my more than one therapist that I have D.I.D. I've done things very much like what you've described.

@olderuncle944 But your comment doesn’t help me at all and doesn’t even make me believe that you read the thing that you’ve commented on.
