Multiple personality disorder

I know someone who has it. It is really annoying.
DISCUSS

I don't have the disorder-but at times I switch from 'happy spam happy" to "destructive sadictc terror" or even "psyco path".It's why I prefer to keep my remaining friends online-no one get's hurt that way.And a head check is what I need right now-no time-forcing all of my energy into keeping a smile for my retail job makes me sleepy after work is over.

Is this the same as a split personality?

You mean schizophrenia?

All these complicated words are confusing me T_T

i think this disorder is cool

MDS has an alter ego....

Not really. The person who I know that has the disorder is constantly switching between hostile and friendly personalities.

Ah so it is a split personality... I have that too, it's not really a "disorder" but one of my personalities is happy, excited, energetic & loud. My other personality which is what personality I have usually is the complete opposite. It's been months since they've changed regularly, usually for about half an hour or even only a few minutes I'll be my happy side, then it switches to the depressed side & stays like that for a while.

ARGH!!! You don't get it. This person has two personas. One of his characters is a nice guy and the other is a very hostile and negative person. I am not talking about emotions or anything.
@Nat-Schizophrenia is a different mental illness.

DID then?I don't know many people that have disorders besides a few people with dysthymia (chronic depression, I had this at one point), a person with bipolar disorder, and I have a nephew that has down syndrome. I'm sure it's not that bad, it'd get annoying but you have to understand that it's not maintainable.Moofie and mds, I don't think you guys have it. If you do get a psychiatrist's diagnosis and I'd believe, otherwise no. I think you guys are getting confused with emotions or personas.

This is probably the stupidest thing I've read in this forum. Having a disorder or mental illness is not cool, or fun, or give you super powers.

Yes they are getting confused. Multiple personality disorder is not an emotion. It is a mental illness.

Hmm. I still fail to see the difference, meh don't bother trying to explain, I won't understand xD

example... (The forum guy) = acts cool in forum keeps blabbing etc etc just in forums...(Real world guy) = not that cool shy typeare those things qualified as multiple personality disorder?

Not really. Good try though.

It's an actual mental illness. Meaning something wrong with your brain or your brain is wired a different way. Multiple personalities means different emotions, patterns, different ways of percieving your environment, a different mindset. There's also some memory loss involved too.

Definitely not, that's not a mental illness. If that were the case, everyone would have a mental illness.

MDS could star in the film "Me, Myself and Irene"

so it means like a person that doesn't stick to 1 personality??Or just keeps on acting different??

If it's acting then its not real split personality..

@Bad316-Watch this movie: 'Me, Myself and Irene'
