hi--
i have recently read my aunts journals at the permission of my cousin after my aunts death and know with almost certainty that she had a dissociatve personality disorder. she also describes her inner "family" as the only thing she needs and relies on, she has names for the different aspects of herself and they are for the most part almost robotic one-dimensional roles that play out different emotions and ages of herself including hostile personalities that believe whatever trauma happened was deserved. you may not have any idea of trauma, it might be kept from you by another personality for protection The fact that you're world is shaken by visits to therapy supports the idea of personalities in conflict. I would advise to perhaps start keeping a journal, perhaps you can meet youre fantasy friends through writing. there are a lot of steps in becoming well from dissociation, but the first is to find out whethor or not you are in fact and then to try to make them all cooperate--good luck, i really mean it laural
