Therapiat thinks I have a dissociative disorder

I dont believe this to be the case but I also do not know a thing about dissociative disorders, except some buzzwords surrounding DID. I suspect I just have innatentive adhd and Im on the wait list for that but I thought I may aswell do some research into dissociations like osdd and list some systoms that may be associated and browse this subreddit as Ive never actually met anyone with this disorder.

  • I often talk in terms of "we" when reffering to myself. I think I mean this in the way of the royal we ? but people actually call me out on this quite a bit.
  • Constant fatigue, disorientation, losing things, letting lost on journeys, zoning out etc
  • In my head Im always a character. A tv character than Im hyperfixated on for example, I watch movies and songs and read books ans reflect on things as if I am them
  • or an origional character that I have created in my head and go abouts my life as if I am them, taking on "their" characteristics. Though I wouldnt say my personality changes to people in my outside world I think I just act extra out of it
  • I think the worst examples I have of this is when I was far younger and I'd be so in my head about people "characters" that Id zone out of my surroundings completely and act on zoned out impulse and steal things from shops and stuff right in front of everyone while they watched me and I was unaware that I was actually stealing until my dad saw this "episode" and I got a slap in tbe face lol. Embarrassing. I managed this symptom better after that.
  • I dont feel like my personality ever changes though. I feel like I always act like my own me which is withdrawn and unoutgoing.
  • My internal world changes alot and is always flipped on its head which is why I cannot maintain relationships because I feel that I am so unsure of my own self and wants and identity that I cannot possibly build a relationship as there is simply not enough of me to share, and I will get distant and "bored" and feel like the connection is not real and will never be real after a matter of months
  • as a young teen I would self harm as I was unsure that my memories were real (I was heavily gaslit as a child)
  • I trust my memories moreso now but am still under the pretense of emotions and relationships not being real

I cant think of anything else but .. yea
