i have that general feeling that something is wrong again today. things are quite well in reality. I also found a cause for some of my anxiety..it is the constant energy i exert screening ALL of my thoughts, everything that i hear and say and think to make, to LOOK for 'crazy thoughts'. I also make myself try to remember stupid things throughout the day to make sure I am not losing my memory. Because people with multiple personalities don't remember what the other pesonality does when they are in the other, i make myself account for all my physical and mental time, to prove to myself that I don't have MPD. THIS IS WHERE the internal stress COMING FROM!!! Of course, with ocd, i have to PROVE IT to myself constantly!

I know some of what you are going through. I constantly analyze everything, every thought, every action. I dwell on things that happen during the day and try to figure out what I should have done different. Like nothing is ever OK enough. It's exhausting and nerve racking. I feel like I have two sides in me, always fighting. One is very negative and insecure, while the other side is rational and confident. My psychologist said I have to overcome the negative and irrational thoughts by finding out what, from my past, is causing them. Best wishes!

Nurseboy,
I’m sure you don’t have multiple personality disorder! Try thinking logically, it’s hard with all the panic I know but try and think of things like this:
What’s the evidence you have for having MPD
What’s the evidence against it
Remember sufferers of mpd generally don’t know what they have. I’m sure the evidence if you developed MPD during your life would stack up, and someone close to you would be able to tell if you did indeed have MPD. Also if you do become forgetful this is also a symptom of panic. I become very forgetful indeed when I’m doing it tough. Until a doctor or someone can tell you for sure that you have MPD (and I’d be surprised if this were the case!) look at this fear as being just another tactic panic has created to scare you.
Bare in mind there is no evidence whatsoever that panic disorder and OCD lead to schizophrenia and on to multiple personality disorder, or any other such conditions for that matter.
Hope this has helped a bit, take care.

I know I don't have MPD...but my OCD will argue that.

I do the same thing when I am in my anxious state. I dwell on everthing that has gone on in the day. I have a soap bubble analogy that I am learning touse. Thoughts are like soap bubbles coming from your head. Some of the thoughts are bigger bubbles than other thoughts. The more you think about the thought the a As you focus less on the thoughtbigger the bubble becomes.The more stress you feel to.As you fo0cus less on the thought the smaller the bubble becomes until it disappears. The bigger the bubble the longer it takes to disappear. Does this make any sense?
