I have DID and not all of the things in the article apply to me. Each individual is different and each "system" is different. I do know that sometimes the body has more strength and can do things that it can't other times--depends on who's in control. There are different likes and dislikes of food and clothes and such. But like Sky said, things don't have to be different. It is a puzzling and interesting state of being. Learning to live "multi" and appreciate what all parts of self have to offer is my goal. We're working toward it and all the "stuff" of the how it works and all that really doesn't matter. It's the learning to live and be who we are without the "dis-order" part.
