I don’t know if it’s linked to my depression, but I have two personalities that are really different.
Most of the time I’m really nice, I try to help people when they need to, I’m quite shy and I lack of confidence. I don’t speak much only to my close friends, or with people when they come to me for advices. I’m also over-and have a lot of empathy.
But sometimes, I can be a real arrogant piece of sh*t, I make a lot of cynical and sarcastic comments. My confidence is at it’s apogee, and I act like I’m better than everyone else. It’s kind of hard for me to explain it, but the most accurate representation of this side of my personality would be Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty.
I’m sure that I don’t have DID, but I don’t know why I am like that...

    Nobody is really quite sure why this happens actually, but it is definently a thing. Use the Google and look up multiple personality disorder. Lots of people have it worse than you mate. If it's just weird and if it doesn't bother you then refer to my username and the answer is no. If it's becoming an issue for you, you could certainly see a therapist for this and they have seen it many times and I'm sure could help you.

    It doesn't sound like DID. It sounds more like mood swings, not necessarily distinct personalities. Due to the nature of clinical depression, it is not uncommon to experience times where there is a major spike in seratonin. This can lead to a euphoric/unstoppable feeling like you could conquer the world. Conversely, you could also have extreme lows or depressive episodes, causing you to have a spike in suicidal ideation or urges.

    Sudden, major changes in mood could be a sign of mania, whether temporary or part of a permanent condition. Often, it can be associated with BPD(which has been changed to Mood Disorder, instead of Bipolar disorder, according to the most recent DSM).

    It is recommended that you speak with a psychiatric healthcare expert, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist, to help stabilize your mood.

    Whatever you do, DO NOT TRY TO SELF-DIAGNOSE, especially in regards to mental health, as this can lead to further problems.

    If it can help, try to keep a journal of what you were doing/thinking before these mood changes to see if they are triggered by anything in particular. Also, record on what days these changes occur to see if they are cyclical or sporadic.
