It probably seems over the top to those who are without knowledge of DID or MPD. Sounds like SFI, huh.
Good Post "sky" It sounds pretty accurate to me too.
I have DID and I know that my left hand will work on it's own sometimes. like one personality controls the left and another the right.
I know every time I drive there another part of me takes over. I'll never forget the time "the driver" was trying to teach another part of me to drive a stick-shift. I was driving around New Orleans and all of a sudden I couldn't shift for the life of me. Got to a side street and could hear instructions going on in my head as I practiced shifting. Not funny at the time, but it is now.
What wasn't funny was being unaware of my other selves until I in my forties. If you can believe this, I was unaware of having black outs, up untill I moved south and they all felt safe enough to present themselves. No wonder I couldn't understand some peoples reaction
to me. Sorry got long winded here. Hope it helps with your questions about DID article.
