Multiple Personalities?
Hi, as many of you may of seen me post frequently,I am Mark. I have dissociative idenity disorder or multiple personalities. At first I didn't believe it but It became much worse. I just read an article about it and I have 90% of the symptoms. Should I get help? I'm an average 15 year old kid, just like some of you guys are or have been or will be. You remember what it was like to be different from everyone...What should I do, I'm for once stuck in life with not knowing on what to do..please help me.
-Mark

You are no more a doctor than I am a license clinical therapist. You cannot diagnose yourself especially about such a complicated disorder. And I can only advice you from my years of attendance at the School of Life. So take this advice as you want.
I was 15 once. I remember. I put much thought into what can possibly be my reason of being. I remember what it was like to be different from everyone else. I also remember when I was 20 when I learned that different was good because the world is made up of many, many different people all falling in love with each other. I also remember when I was 30 and through the help of intellectual friends and intellectual books I learned that there are many big, complicated words describing every minute flaw in my character and my physical health. I was proud that there was finally someone out there that believed I was as bad as I felt I was. And I know how I am now. At 35, wishing I was 15, regretting all the years being alone worrying about myself.
But 40, and 45, 50 and 55 are ahead of me. I haven't just arrived at the train station just to watch my train leave. I am just early for the next train to arrive. And so are you. While most people feel stuck in life just after they graduate high school or when they delay the inevitable by going to college, you are early. You feel stuck in life at the young age of 15, with smooth, tight skin, and so much energy. You are letting the your world change you rather than you changing the world.
Learn from my mistakes. Do not compare yourself to others. Do not be continually aware of your own needs. Do not define yourself in easy terms. Humbly except that you will always have room to grow. Dedicate yourself to being a better adult, not an ok teenager. You will find that when you are depressed all those multiple personalities are just imaginary friends of yours who actually know you. You will find that when you are happy all those multiple personalities are just representatives of how incredibly different you are to a world that tries real hard to be exactly the same.
If you feel you need help, get it. Only you know. There might be something actually wrong with your chemistry. Consult your school counselor, or a church figure, or a wise uncle or grandparent. Take care of yourself.

Have you been diagnosed as this or are you just assuming since you have 90% of the symptoms. If you are assuming you need to be prefessionally diagnosed. Talk to your parents about it and if you dont want to do that talk to your school counciler. If you do have it you should get help, who knows if you start getting help early when your older it may not even be apparent that you have this disorder. I'm just about your age, only 3 more months, I know how tough life can be, especially having a disorder. If you need to talk you can always IM, e-mail me, or leave one in my inbox. good luck, and talk to someone!

Self diagnosis is always questionable. My psych prof warned us that before reading about mental illnesses students tend to believe they have them. Also multiple personalities most frequently occur in those who have suffered abuse as a child. Not saying you were or weren't, just keep it in mind.
Try mentioning this to your parents, if you can't talk to them, try a guidance counselor, teacher, friends parent whatever, someone you can talk to to hopefully set you up in counselling. If you are at a total loss do some more research, one article can be particularly biased. There are entire books dedicated to the subject.

It's really apparent what you need to do, Mark! Please talk to your parents so they can help you consult with a doctor. You need to get on medication so that you can live your life normally or at least to the best it can be! No one deserves to live life with a mental imblanace such as yours. Need more advice? Just ask!! ♥

I think you sould talk to someone about this besides someone who gives you advice. Try getting help and see how it works out.

I think that you should get help. Have you been professionally diagnosed? I think that you should tell your parents what is going on with you, they can help you get whatever help you need. DID is a rare dissorder, but is much more common in men than women. Sometimes you can get medicine to help you stay 'balanced.' I wish you luck!
