Thanks everyone for your replies. I have limited access to a computer so my replies may take a while. I am currently withdrawing off of Lexapro as I broke out in a nasty red itchy burning rash on my neck withing 24 hours of taking it. It looked like I had a disease and I also felt like fainting every half hour. To stay sane I am taking Kalma(alprazolam) - till I can figure out what antidepressant to try next. My dissociation was first experienced by hearing different voices in my head - I thought I was truly mad - so I told no-one. Over time I began to realise that they were a part of me. The voices don't come from outside of me. The more I acknowledged them the more aware I became of how they each are different ages and hold different emotions and memories. The shifting between these different parts of me is automatic - and if I don't listen to them - all hell breaks loose. Saying this is hard is putting it lightly. Thanks for listening.
