HELP!!! Multiple Personailities?!?!

[Asylum]

sorry if i posted in the wrong area...i didn't know where else to go :(

sometimes i change personalitiess... I'll describe them for you. one personailty is Christian/Muslim, loves to clean, organized, is studious, had super strict morals, cares about grades. My other personality is very Pagan, very rebelous, hates cleaning, isn't organized, doesn't really care about grades, doesn't really care about morals. I also have on that acts like a child that comes out rarely... and I can't control or calm down when 'm like that.. Now.. I change like this randomly. For example two days ago I was Pagan Songul.. Now i'm Muslm Songul. O_o Even my religion changes with my personailty. Like I feel like an entirely seperate person... what does this mean? Other people have recognized my different personailties. Shold I tell someone.. if so who? What would happen if i told someone... is this normal?

Are they just sets of traits, and a different mindset, or distinct people with different memories and thoughts, maybe even names?

I have both an alter and different facets of my own personality. Though the different extremes in my personality isn't quite as contrasting as even having a different religion. I have an outgoing, fun, social personality, and a withdrawn, shy, loner personality. But that's quite minimal.

Then, you have Dissociative Identity Disorder, which is multiple personalities. There, you'd need to have distinct people, and associated memory loss.

Though what you're describing, Songul, doesn't strike me as DID of course. I don't know of any disorders that would involve personalities so distinct though, with it still being one person. Could be just like having separate personalities and mindsets depending on your mood.

I'm afraid I can't be much help past that.

it's just traits and mindset. I dont' think the memory is different.. but yes to different thoughts... and no to the names.
usually my mood is always depressed and anxious... so it doesn't change..
thank you for your help Rith. :) maybe I should talk to my psycologist about it?
i thought i should add thiss. sometimes i feel like i'm watching myself, and i have no control over what i'm doing like someone else has taken over.. then i won't really remeber in full detail what happened. I'll give a current example my boyfriend came over the other night. i was anxious nd upset. i acted nothing like my normal self, i was like a child, then i was very sassy to say the least. but i couldn't help what i was saying.. I could hear it, but i couldn't stop the sassyness and child like behavior. I felt like i wasnt there, but I was watching.. it's really hard to desrcibe Rith, but I'm trying.. all i know it happens frequently and its not pleasant and I hate it. I don't remebr anything that I said or did that night.. all I remeber it was different.. even my boyfriend noticed.. :(

You're welcome dear :)
If you want to, of course. I know it was difficult for you the last time when you told your psychologist about your hallucinations. I don't want that to happen again, but in my situation, that's what I would be doing. I like to bring up topics with my therapist, though I don't have parents around for her to tell :P

What you added there actually makes me feel like it might still be a dissociative disorder. Not DID, but it's sounding a lot like Depersonalization Disorder (http://my.clevelandclinic.org/disorders/dissociative_disorders/hic_depersonalization_disorder.aspx), especially since from what I've read from your other posts, you also have the anxiety that can come along with it. If any of that sounds familiar, I would bring it up with your psychologist to see if this might be the case. Like I always have to say, I can't give you a diagnosis (not yet anyway XD Haha), but there's my opinion.

yea that pretty much describes how i feel pefectly.. thank you i guess i'll go talk to my psycologrist about it. yea.. my psycologist was awful with how she handled the hallucinatons.. so i think i'm just going to tell my psychiatrist since she's the one who deals with my meds anyway. Thank you Rith :)

A bit ago, I had expressed some of my feelings to a friend of mine. I told her that I didn't feel like I had a set personality, even with myself and not my alter, as there are probably only two or three personality traits that you can't apply to me at some point. She said that my widespread personality WAS my personality.

It's nothing to be concerned about, having varying personalities, opinions, mindsets, thoughts, even an indecisive nature. It's just you, and that's good enough for anyone :P

2 cents

Everyone has a complex personality. Being "one" thing all the time doesn't happen. Being said, such drastic shifts isn't fully normal. Doesn't mean its wrong. The religion thing makes me wonder though. Is it possible to blend the two beliefe sets?

As it hasn't been addressed, the child aged one.
Most people have an 'inner child' of sorts. It's not bad or a problem or anything, as long as it doesn't interfear with your life.
(being said, I have 3 (4?) children living in my head. It's a little frusterating to sencor but it's not overly interferance)

No it's literally one moment strict Christian or Muslim with strict morals. The other is Pagan who doesn't care about morals. Like its either one or the other but it switches. It's not me saying hmmm i think Christianity is better for me.. or i'll pick this one today.. it's completely out of my hands... It's never blended. I'm sorry i'm having a hard time explaining.. i don't know if that made sense... ahh the child part is soo annoying i hope it goes away.

[ShatteredWings]

Not..quite what I meant.
I meant blend the 3 sets of ideologies. I know christanity and islam have a lot of differences but I'm fairly certain there are a lot of overlaps (I'mma get slapped for this but y'all believe that Jesus was a smart guy right? :P)
Pagan isn't by nature amoral, it's just what's different from judeo-christan standards of acceptability in religion.

Also, don't wish children harm. I've found the kids to be pretty smart and they have different perspectives on things than us older people do.

[Asylum]

ahhh yea, i've done that before. Edgar Cassye has similar teachings between Pagan and Chritian. I was into that for awhile.. now it's just has to be one or the other...

very true...
