i feel like my story is about to end.
i wonāt say my name, just that iām 16 and in college. i most likely have DID - iām seeing a doctor and will probably be admitted to a psych ward soon. my girlfriend is 18, weāve been together for almost a year. she might have DID too, though i canāt rule out schizophrenia since it can look similar.
our life is basically a constant circus, but most of the chaos usually happens on her side. a lot has gone down, and more than once i thought everything was about to collapse because of some new alter, but somehow we always managed to get through it - or things just resolved on their own.
but now iām almost sure my story with her is about to end. and itās because of another new one.
something happened to her around mid-march - nothing unusual for our situation. after that she became calmer, more restrained. it felt like things were finally getting better for us. everything was stable, genuinely good. that āgoodā lasted exactly ten days. it was perfect, nothing to complain about. and then she texts me asking who i had been hanging out with.
turns out she blacked out back in mid-march, and all that time i had been talking to someone else without even realizing it. everything was perfect - every tiny detail. it pretended to be the person i love most so well that even other system members didnāt notice the switch.
at first it seemed like we dealt with it and that it wouldnāt be able to pretend anymore. but one day i decided i wanted to talk to it myself. i wanted to understand how it played the role so perfectly, how it knew all those little details, what its plan was, where that sense of duty came from. it didnāt tell me anything. instead, it sent a long message saying that if it kept being pressured or cornered, it would start pretending in a way iād never be able to detect again - and then make sure i wouldnāt hear from them for months.
different parts of the person i love keep trying to push me away, and itās terrifying.
now i canāt trust any of them. i just canāt. i donāt know if iām actually talking to someone i love or if itās that same two-faced asshole again. i keep staring into their eyes, watching every blink. itās exhausting. itās messing with my head. i donāt even know who iām on a call with right now.
yesterday we got into a fight - me and her, or maybe him - because i donāt trust them. it feels like all my feelings got dismissed, but i promised iād bury this fear and distrust as deep as possible. i promised, but i canāt do it. now i have no one to share these fears with. iām scared iām going to lose everything soon because of some two-faced piece of shit. iāve got no one to vent to. i donāt know what to do.
