*hugs to you*
I think dissociation has varied symptoms, the seperate personalities and watching yourself are two of a larger spectrum of dissociative symptoms. I'm glad you were able to answer your assessment questions honestly, that was very brave of you.
I have been told I suffer from some form of dissociation (awaiting assessment now) yet I have never suffered any serious sexual abuse at all. Sexual or ritualistic abuse *is* common in people who dissociate, but it isn't the same for every person, dissociation varies and I think the causes and reasons for it also varies.
I'm sorry I'm not sure I'm making much sense =/
Please take gentle care of yourself today, try to keep yourself relaxed and just take some time for things to sink in, I'm sure this is a big shock and something that will take some time to understand and get your head around.
Take care
xx
