Thanks, Anika.

I don't know when it started or why. I have no memory of that. It's just always been, I guess. Or if it hasn't always been, I don't know when it started. I didn't even realize much of it until more recently. I'd never heard of dissasociation before until I came here and some people talked about it and it sounded oddly familiar. Kind of one of those "oh, I do that... strange."

Like you said, I guess I didn't start thinking about it until then. And now I have been thinking about it and like, right now I'm talking to you as... I don't know how to say it... the outer me. The me that everyone knows. Then the other me is the inner me and doesn't interact with other people, only me. When I'm interacting with people, she is in the background, observing??? I think that's how to explain it... but when I'm alone then we discuss everything. Like I said we're like friends... the friend I tell things to and then she gives me advice, or comfort, or something...

But, I realize that even when I'm not alone I am discussing things with her sometimes... or let's say I am playing a game. And I'm going along playing and I normally play alone. But she's there, too... also playing? And although we have the same character, it's like we decide together what to do next or where to go, even if not talking out loud...

Hmmm... odd...
