[QUOTE=amandalouise;2450362]is it possible for alternate personalities to have their own mental illness? yes it is possible and most do. with DID alters..well they are a special kind of alters that take control and live their own lives,

they can appear to be very similar to the host/core

(here where I live and work NY,USA the terms host and core designate the person with the mental disorder DID, the person that the alters live with in, the person that dissociated due to trauma from which the alters were created from and for)

but with DID type alters there are clear (other locations may use the terms well defined, exact, distinct) differences. some of those differences are things like clothing, mannerisms, emotions, mental problems, daily life problems, functioning problems, preferences, jobs, reasons for being, how they do things....

the visualization... no you didnt trigger me. and I would not be surprised to find that this coconut may not be%2
