when I got sober I was finally able to get properly diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (I'd been misdiagnosed with biochemical depression for over a decade), and the DID makes some of the recovery writing stuff harder sometimes. Eg: different parts of my mind feel *very* differently about the person I'm writing about today, so I end up paralyzed with a headache.
Talking with people usually sorts it out eventually, but I'm impatient with myself.

@courtney I believe you. One of my things is where my head just physically feels too full of things (and I have rather violent thoughts about how I'd get the things out) :(
