Voting possible also – although not in tune with the sexual orientation side of me anymore - not comfortable with any gender. Do know about being confused with different choices and preferences with other things. My angry selves hates everyone and doesn’t care about seeing people hurt or die. My nice happy selves would feel horrible seeing anyone get hurt and would run to their aid immediately. It would depend who was more in focus at the moment that would base how this body would react.
There are very different personas triggered, and it confuses people all the time. The emotions, thoughts, reactions are genuine even though they are contradictory. It is what defines DID. So it isn’t at all surprising you have multiple sexual preferences. You may even be multitalented, but not always capable of performing that talent – I can play the piano sometimes, but not other times.
It is very weird. I have good fine motor and cognitive skills, but not always able to utilize those functions. I picture various parts of my brain lit up in specific combinations and those combinations make up each persona. The switch occurs when a trigger changes the lit-up combination. Over a period of several years, it becomes like a well-practiced coping mechanism.
You can totally live a good life even with DID. We derail – but normal people derail also. Maybe not as spectacularly as we can, but derailment happens to everyone once in a while. At least I keep telling myself that.
I know this wasn’t a derailment issue, but just tryin to keep a toe in the world –
