I've done this for most of my life. So glad to see that I'm not the only one! I've been known to drive my staff crazy with "WE need to go check on Mrs. Jones" or "WE have to call the family about this med error" when it's ME who really needs to take care of business. I try hard not to do this anymore at work, but it tumbles out of my mouth naturally and I don't always catch it.

I don't have a history of dissociative disorders and have never really thought of myself as two essences of the same person.......but then, being bipolar does sort of set one up for that. Hmm...I gotta think about this a little more.
