My Ex StepMom had/has it crying What a nightmare she was!!!!

But I have Borderline Personality Disorder so I think I'm a handful for people as well :/

it's kind of like going through a permanent identity crisis where you doubt you even
know who you are... and personally... I always ask people why they like me cause I
don't know who I am. I don't know if I'm liked or hated, or normal, or weird.

Sometimes I'm very happy and sociable and everyone loves me, and then for NO
reason I can flip out and be anti-social and push everyone away and just wanna be
left alone and then I don't want anyone to put ideas in my head about who I am.

It sounds like Bipolar except Bipolar people will stay the same mood for a week or longer
and then abruptly change for another week or longer.

Borderline Personality Disorder people, can change their mood every hour, or everyday.
I always feel like a chameleon always changing what I like. It's kinda like having multiple personalities except I don't have different names for each personality and they aren't isolated
from one another.

I think Multiple Personality People actually become a different person and aren't aware that
they have, they can have different names, voices, and mannerisms between their different personalities. Often they aren't aware of the switch-over to the other personality.

if you don't mind watching it in a form of anime, then watch chaos;head.

it's a physiological thriller and the main character happens to have multiple personality disorder.

i think the anime was a remake from a novel, you can search it up!

Dissociative Identity Disorder and Multiple Personality Disorder are pretty different.... stare

well Wiki and WebMD referred to them as the same thing, do you have a different source I could look at?

Well dissociative identity disorder WAS referred to as multiple personality disorder, but not now. For a reason.

Multiple personality disorder is more along the lines of schizophrenia. dissociative identity disorder is more like... you KNOW what you're doing, but you're just watching yourself do it and you can't understand it.

With schizophrenia you don't remember anything you've done during an episode. You have no idea.

Band,

Why post if you're going to be rude. Maybe I have reading difficulties you don't know about and or understand. Not everyone is at the same reading level as others. I didn't post this topic to be judged or to judge others.

Rin,

If you don't want to come across rude people, don't come to the GD.
But srsly now, I wasn't really trying to be overly rude. I'm sure that if you had a reading disability, you could overcome it. Besides, how could you write a decent story when you have a reading disability?
Higher levels of reading helps story-writing immensely. It's just something that I suggest you work on.

It was just an example. I'm not going to read something over my head, because all it's going to do is frustrate me and I'm going to give up. My goal is to follow this story through and I'm going to receive what information I can in a way I can understand.

Also just because it's the GD doesn't give people an excuse to be rude. I don't care where you are, you know what manners are and how to use them. These standards shouldn't be any lower on the internet.

And, like I said in my second sentence, I wasn't really trying to be overly rude. I say/type things as I see them. I'm a blunt person, that's how I work. People usually reject my opinions, even though I'm right, because I don't put it nicely.
I don't see the need to put things nicely. If it's a fact, it's a fact. Should be stated as such.

Thank you, telling me things about yourself and people you know is useful because I want my character to be able to be related too.

Well I read something completely different on both those topics. I'm not saying your wrong, but this just encourages me to do more research I want the most accurate information on this topic I can get.

Exactly. People with multiple personality disorder/schizophrenia can even have different allergies and medical conditions. Need glasses when the other personalities dont.

And my roommate has been treated with borderline personality disorder and dissociative identity disorder

Being blunt and having manners is two different things, you can say things honestly without being rude or putting others down.

Now I find that interesting, with glasses and allergies and such, that's good to know.

Well all i can really offer you is what i learned from my psych classes in college and my roommate/best friend has been treated with a few different related disorders.

Also, i have three schizophrenics in my family. Including my mom.

Like I said, I don't feel the need to put things nicely. If the fact that you should probably learn to read better before writing a story of your own is rude, then it is what it is.
I tried to write a story back before I had a higher reading level. It turned out like s**t. My vocabulary was terrible and the characters lacked depth.
It's always best to be able to read the level of book you want to write.
And college texts really aren't that hard.

my mom has that.
I hate the others.. some of them make her act like a little girl, and some of them make her VERY angry or upset. and they yell at her..they're always yelling at her.
