> I dont want to create any personality, or maybe you said something about a somatoform of something, now what could that be? i've read on alternate personalites, i dont have any symptoms, yet i do dissociate, and feel there is another person that does tell me what to do with my mother (its my mother that has caused this person to retailate greatly against her).

> Later in the future this person could actaully start coming out and controlling situations, because i feel im a helpless kid crying and i have no defenses, this other person that in my head has really gotten angry because she (its a female) she doensnt like my mother at all. She is with me in my head, to help me cope with this horrid situation of neglect, co-dependence, rages (she calms me down, from my mother) mainly all this chaos is resulted from my mother's lack of knowing what to do, she is stressed herself all the time, and stubborness to the fact of reality, that i need to get treated for ADHD. This all has turned into "one ball" of chaos, and i deal with.But why do you think you need to get treated for ADHD -- is that a primary diagnosis, or are you just speculating that you have yet another pathology. It can be rather counterproductive to say I have a disorder, disorder, disorder.
It is perfectly natural for your mother not to know what exactly to do or react -- she's not the doctor or therapist. I would suggest a possible family session at some point when your therapist is comfortable doing that.

I'm 32 and I have become very dependent on my parents. Its not my fault, or malicious or malingering, or the guy in their parents basement. Its just unfortunate reality at the moment. We all have our own realities.They're also 10 years older than most people's parents would be at my age, because they are academics and decided to have me after they had settled down with their careers. Its very complicated but for me, its, for a lack of better words, because this is not a DSM-IV term, "peter pan syndrome.", plus some OCD and various other unpleasant visual somatiform problems and not feeling completely connected.
But I'm slowly trying to follow the mode of "Recovery therapy" with some help with medication.
You can read more about that from NAMI at
