I think I might have dissociative identity disorder.?

Recently I went to a fair and looked at all the cool stuff when my eyes rested on an awesome looking necklace. I already had an awesome necklace that I wore everyday that reminded me of the triforce from the legend of zelda, but this one spoke to me. I must have it! is what I thought as I zoned out but when I came to I was like nah. Later that day, I passed by the same necklace and the urge was greater, again I zoned out, walked into the store, and bought the necklace. I put the necklace on and thought to myself, awesome purchase! I had the feeling it wasn't me who bought it though, but someone else. Since then, whenever I get angry or aroused, or need to focus really hard, I notice I am wearing my fair necklace, and have a feeling that it is not me. Then I zone out and notice I am wearing my original necklace. Also, I recently talked to a voice in my head. He says his name is the same as mine, is age 22, and is the "mature one." He actually makes me laugh sometimes and we agree on a lot of stuff. The only things he tells me to do though are never give up, or don't worry, we got this. You know,positive. I asked him how long he has been with me and he said since I was sexually abused. I notice different personalities though and don't know if the voice is real or a figment of my imagination. I'm not scared of it, i'm just curious cause he says he's surprised I didn't notice him sooner and asked who I thought was actually acing all the quizes. Before you say go to a doctor though, I'm scared to tell my mom cause she might freak out lol. Also, I have already read the symptoms of D.I.D and I fit the bill for most of it, I just don't have amnesia and am aware of what is going on, it's just sometimes I don't controlmwhat I do. So... what do you think? Do you need more info?I think I might have dissociative identity disorder.?
Yeah definitely sounds like it is it isn't normal to have conversations with people in your head like that but it isn't a voice telling you to do evil things so thats a plus. As far as telling your mom goes you can look at all the answers on how to do it all you want but either way you will just have to tell her so just get her to sit down and talk with her it won't get any easier than that. I would maybe seek a little bit of therapy it could be good to help figure out more info on what's going on but if it starts getting negative than you really need to be worried.I think I might have dissociative identity disorder.?
Thanks man, you were actually telling me something and giving your opinion, not just copy and pasting a whole website i had already read.

Those people who have D.I.D. may experience such things as "coming to" in a place that they don't recognise, or receiving bills for things they don't remember ordering, or, if living alone, finding notes in a different handwriting, or sometimes friends tell them things about themselves, and their behaviour as another "alter".
