Thanks Kris...

I wanted to clarify too that when I say I disagree with you, I am disagreeing about the ideas of alters not being a part of each one of us.

I also want to say that I believe that it is quite possible for there to be sub-types of DID as well that do not necessarily fit into the box of DID, such as Trance-Possession Disorder, etc. Maybe sub-types aren't the best way to describe them but I don't know what else to call them. Maybe there are different types of alters that AREN'T part of each persons personality. There very well could be.

I think that dissociative disorders arise in people who have especially learned how to use their mind creatively to get away from trauma. That being said...I also believe that there is a lot we, as a society, don't know about dissociative disorders for lack of research. With time, I think more and more will be discovered about the different types of DD's and I am willing to bet that there are some the mental health community haven't been able to identify yet.

Just wanted you to know that even though I disagree, on some level some of the insiders get it. There are some of our older alters that don't get it at all, but they don't get the DID either. They think it's all BS. We even have one alter that doesn't even know the system exists.

Life is one strange trip!!!!
