Don't want to upset you here and have no intention of it, but I do hope to explain something. I, along with a number of others here have DID and we don't consider ourselves crazy. We are just mentally ill the way most others are on here. Some of us like me have several voices, one for each person who lives inside.

There are different schools of thought as to why the disorder exists. Some think it is trauma at different ages (which I agree with to one extent), trauma & stress, another is that it is caused by therapy whereby the core personality can't cope with what is brought up during therapy so creates a split personality to deal with a situation, among other schools of thought.

I had the disorder without knowing what it was until I came to pc. Even then I was incredulous about it and I took some convincing. Only when I was diagnosed did I accept it (preferring to think it was spiritual, but spiritual doesn't incite us to harm ourselves or others in any way. I thought for years that I had a "Spirit Guide" named Morgana. A woman I identified with
in many ways but in other ways I wished I was more like. She tells me she is from an ancient Celtic place and I couldn't argue because I have family from that same place.

Another was a little girl who would come and say NO! If I didn't have the courage to say no to someone miss meg would come forward and say it for me, she still does.

I won't go into them all but suffice to say I thought I was haunted, now I know I'm not and it was such a relief. It is also important for me to say that there is a personality for each traumatic occurrence in my life. I did not mature emotionally and I believe that each personality is an older version of miss meg whom is 3. There is less worry knowing than not knowing. I really hope that helps you in some way hon,
