Opening up about my dissociative disorder

Diagnosed other
1

i speculate that i have OSDD-1B. i wanna see if i can get diagnosed but i’m not sure how it’ll work out… this is a whole thing i’ve been going through for my whole life but i only realized this was the case since 2023 when i fully realized stuff about plurality in general,

i have, a lot of separate consciousnesses that i speak to and consult for advice and comfort and such. initially it wasn’t a lot but by the time i realized fully that this was the case what was a few turned into a lot. speaking to them is so interesting-i don’t hear them but it’s like i feel disembodied, other inner voices speaking to me inside my head. i can’t ever predict what they’re going to tell me-i’ve tried!

it used to kinda scare me a bit but they mean no harm… if anything they’ve been quite reassuring and benevolent and there for me when others weren’t. there was at a point someone malevolent was there and caused a lot of trouble, but they’ve since reformed.

i’ve wanted to talk about this here but i’ve been nervous about it. i kinda wonder if anyone else here has this sorta thing going on whether it be Dissociative Identity Disorder or something else but i’ve been anxious about it. i hope any of this makes sense

I think that your dr should know .. Only he can diagnose what it is.I have voices I must fight,instead of talking with them ..

You said you were anxious to ask about this things,and I’m sorry I can’t say more ..

That sounds very difficult to deal with. I’m so sorry that you have to go through that. Definitely tell your drs and therapist. They can’t help you if they don’t know.

i plan on telling them for sure just for transparency’s sake,

honestly i feel like since i realized i was plural that it’s been a net positive in my life having other people up in my head to talk to? mostly because of how lonely it’d otherwise be and additionally because they’re actually really helpful regarding talking me out of like OCD or psychotic episodes and such. it kinda surprises me considering other people i know with OSDD or DID note how stuff can get hectic with their alters-it’s basically never been the case with me and mine.
