Question: same person but different personality


 kazza26 - Wed Jun 17, 2009 1:39 pm Bookmark and Share  

ok i am probley a complete hypocondriac and if you don't want to answer this then thats fine as il just find out some other way but id appreciate it if you did thanks
this has been happening for the last few years but ive never bothered mentioning it as it didnt seem that bad to me and doesnt seem that bad even now
i do not suffer from multiple personality disorder,i don't have other parts of me called tom dick and harry
however sometimes every so often i am the same person but different personality,this only happens for a few mins then i switch back
heres an excample
a few days back i was walking home,{now i am one these people that care about everything and feel guilty if i even so much squash a spider}when suddenly i just changed i was still me but i had a different personality i was nasty uncaring i even had a memory of a conversation with my gran,i had robbed her and she was asking me why and i didnt care,even inside of me i just didnt care about anyone almost if i was void of emotions,it only lasted a few mins then i was back to my normal self,it seemed so real i had to question whether or not i had robbed my gran,this is something id never do.
its only happens now and again
i mean with MPD the host generally isnt aware of other personalitys but i was aware
like i said i am probley being a hyprocondriac

I can give some guesses. i wonder if some of the symptoms of the personality changes has to do with your history of childhood sexual abuse. Sometimes people do develop multiple personalities which were created from trauma of abuse. Ok, not sure you have MPD. As you said, you know when this happens and you do not take on another name or anything. It is just a guess.
Truly though you might want to see a psychiatrist if you can. I am not insinuating that you are crazy. I am just saying that this needs to be explored.
It sounds as if you have much anger during those times of personality change. You say you don't care about anything during those episodes. But some deep seeded anger sounds like it is definately present.
Best wishes and I hope you find the answer for sure.
