Safe hugs to all.

Yes, eriks, it does feel and look like they are totally different people at times, doesn't it? And yes, these different aspects of a person can have their own blood pressures, temperatures, and even brain waves I think. But, they all do share, and control, the same body.

No reason to be angry. This phenomena just shows how intelligent the brain you have is, and how resourceful and creative you are! Yes, the brain/mind can create someone much older, especially if they are exposed to adults (such as through family, church, or even tv programs.) If that's what you needed, the resourcefulness of an adult, when you were small, they your brain created it for your own protection.

That is what DID is all about, imnshpo : safety.
And yes, as you age, those safety methods fail to work as well...often the need for them are long gone, yet that part of you doesn't realize it yet.

Once you can embrace that they just might all be part of you, or you part of one body and have the same goal as the others, then your communication will increase and healing can begin. What the end goal is for each part to take on an adult purpose and work together.
