I don't think I'm quite understanding what you're asking.Self talk with DID was the same as it is now without DID(since integration).
Are you asking how you can know the difference between your self talk and your alters speaking? |

if you google the term you are asking what it is (self talk) you will see that this is a normal thing everyone does at one time or another...
self talk is when a person is talking aloud or quietly to their self... example right now I am typing on the computer and I am talking to my self by naming the keys that I am typing. and saying the words that I am typing so that I know I am typing the right words I want to say. I am also talking to my self about the groceries... dont forget to put milk bread and eagle's medicine on the list. alters talking is different then normal talking but it depends upon which kind of alters you have. in me before I was integrated I rarely heard my alters talking but when I did what and how they said it was related to what ever their sense of agency was... my suggestion is not to try and match what we tell you about our alters. instead talk with your treatment providers. they are going to want to know how you and your alters are not how we and our alters are/were. the reason I say talk with your treatment providers rather than give you a detailed answer of what my alters are is because people with dissociation problems are more prone to incorporating what is going on with others into their own problems. this can mess up how a persons own system is and what ones own treatment providers are going by. you are already questioning whether you fit DID and why you have problems like this or that and not like this or that, it can be that because you have researched or read books and movies on this that your mind is having trouble sorting out what is you and your system vs what you have read or watched. my point please I see by other threads you are trying to fit yourself into things like Sybil and other movies/ books and how we are. just take it one day at a time and talk with your treatment providers and they will explain to you how and why they diagnosed you with DID, whether your talking is the alters or you and so much more based on how things are with you. this way you arent getting too much information that conflicts with what you and your treatment providers are doing. |

I can’t tell what is going on your head....the best I can say in ours is like question and answered.
Imagine sitting around a business table discussing tactics on moment to moment situations with a group of others with no effort on your behalf...everyone has their own opinion and ideas...some directing and questioning... Is this psychotic? This isn’t one dimensional... but when the others take executive control...it’s for real. |

Isnt it normal if youre thinking hey I want to xyz and then you say to yourself you cant do that or you are not that. Like for instance today I was thinking about my diagnosis and I said you are not DID not I am not DID.

I’d rather say that Im a multiple. I don’t have an actual diagnosis such as DID or OSDD...I feel that I don’t need one because I know how we are. It’s the professionals that dishes out the alphabets. I only say “we” when referring to something another part has done or said...or I be for I. I say we online and in head, but not local. Don’t compare yourself up against another persons diagnosis for they can be different. I for one have found a very little number of individuals that experience life the way I do. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
