i have, DID-NOS ego states.
But mine just sort of started coming out during therapy. i mean they came out before, but when i first started therapy i had them in my head and would rarely they come out without quickly going back in. i think they were actually more controlled before i started therapy. once i did i had less control of when and where they came out. so we had to work some on containment. Mostly my parts were the ones talking about abuse, when i would get flashbacks and try to talk about them in therapy...there they would come. and there is NO WAY i could stop that from happening. its like i knew it was me, but it wasn't,like i was watching a movie unravel and my arms were tied. i could do nothing. and the words and facial expressions just came out.i in the beginning felt that i was making it all up. but the lack of control and the things that i/they said proved what was going on. i have memories of dissociation from when i was little.
The thing is my Therapist rarely 'defines things' to me. So i think i only heard her say DID-NOS once when she was talking about some other topic in relation to me. but mostly she used the phrase 'ego-states' and Co-Conscience. Because i never had fugue states. I would have fuzzy memory of when i switched, but i didnt exactly loose time, i just couldnt remember things i said or topics, but i knew where i was when i switched, and who came out.
Things do get tougher before they get better. but hang in there.
my best advice is Dont over analyze any of it. wait till your day of thearpy and if you want to describe what your 'states' are talking about do that, if they want to come out-let them, if you dont want them out, do what you need to to do that...just be natural with your therapist/counselor.
but i do hope that she is licensed in some way. because if you do have ego states, many times it can get severe and medication can help.Best wishes
