Hi,
DD16 told me that she has "versions" of herself and shifts from one to another without a pattern. If i google what she's described, it suggests things like schizophrenia or bi polar but that doesn't seem to match, it seems more like (another google about psychology) sub-personalities or multiplicities(?), I don't recognise what she's talking about.
There's:
- an empty version where she doesn't really feel anything & thinks if something sad happened when she is in this version,such as her bf breaking up with her, she wouldn't care
2)a mean one but "it" thinks mean things about other people, its not just negative self talk, and gives her a different kind of empty feeling, she says she automatically opposes whatever the mean one says
- a god complex saying she's better than others
4)a methodical version that goes through things calmly
And some others she hasn't named.
She finds "them" distressing, especially the "mean" one. I am totally out of my depth and don't understand what she's describing.
Probably need a GP appointment so she can explain to tgem.
It started about 10 months ago when there was upheaval with home "improvements" which still aren't done (but much better than it was) and her younger brother's mental health was bad, so might be related to that?
She said the mean one turned up first, then the methodical one.
