I spoke with my counselor this week, and we went over the alters that I know of right now. There are 8 of us that I am aware of. She asked if my doctor was aware of them all and I told her he was. I asked her if that was a lot and she said it was, which now has me worried.

How many of you are there? And how does the number of alters relate to the therapy process? Does it take longer, is it harder, etc? Also, I'm not fully DID, as we have the same memory bank, for the most part.

I'm stressed about what this means for my prognosis, or if it has less impact than perhaps the reasons for me splitting in the first place?
