Okay so, i have a DID associated question, however i think a little bit of context is necessary.
I assumed i was a singlet until around 1-2 ish years ago, when i met a boy who was a system. Having exposure to him and a past friendship with someone diagnosed with DID and remembering/learning of their experiences, i began to think about how i myself have had similar experiences to them. Since i met him and began to realize the possibility of my having DID, i tried to recall any times i wasn't myself, and in doing so, i would get horrible headaches. I chocked it up to me trying to remember repressed memories.
However, there are times while disassociating where i feel a creeping feeling of changing, and when i try to stop it, i get headaches. When i become consciously aware of this changing, or switching, i get a horrible headache, and when i do finally switch, i feel like im in the front passenger seat of a car, the car being my body and the driver being me, but not me. Is this common? Are these skull bashing headaches common?
Hey people, so, this is kinda a last-ditch effort considering that I've got basically no people following me, but maybe some people will see it via the tags or something. Basically, I watched the documentary series "Don't F*ck With Cats" on Netflix earlier, and I just realised that, well, it was a lot heavier than I bargained for. I don't have any idea why I didn't just turn it off at the time. I've got slight anxiety/paranoia issues anyway, and this really isn't helping. My thoughts just keep drifting back to the documentary/the content of the documentary... Which is very dark. Animal abuse, serial killers... etc. Does anybody have any ideas on how to calm down and stop myself from freaking out over this/stop worrying about being murdered by a serial killer/stop my thoughts from drifting back to the documentary? Thanks so much to anybody that can help. :) PS: Please tell me if I missed any tags that would be suitable here/trigger warnings, or if my trigger warning tags aren't up to standard! (I heard that there are different conventions that change every so often, but I'm not up to date.)
