Hello , i'm new on this platform i wanted to ask how can i recognize my distinct identities, my symptoms aren't really noticeable i just sometimes feel like all my souvenirs and memories aren't mine and whenever a painful or a hurtful situation appears i start crying but i don't feel anything while doing it ,i just feel like am watching a sad movie or that someone else is crying through my eyes ,i don't feel anything toward the people i "love" i mean if they died tomorrow i wouldn't care less but i'd cry rivers without feeling anything , i used to not feel hunger but it's getting better , i've read some articals about DID and they adviced me to get to know " my sevral identities " i don't really know what that means i mean i don't feel like i have sevral identities vut what if i did how can i recognize them?

Hi Ladyvug33, what you describe shows detachment from your own memories and emotions. It can be depersonalization, as in DPDR. It doesn't have to necessarily be something as complex as DID. Imo, only a therapist who is very knowledgeable about trauma and dissociation can give you the answer, as to what you are facing rn, and where on the dissociation spectrum you find yourself. I hope you already have a therapist you can rely on.
Take care, A.
