sorry... okay, i'll try...

> What do you mean by this? " PTSD - split between EP and ANP
Complex PTSD - split between different EP's and ANP
DID - split between different EP's (with some elaboration) and different ANP's (with some elaboration)"

so the idea is that there is a continuum from PTSD to complex PTSD / borderline personality / DDNOS to DID. what determines where you end up is a mixture of innate disposition and available coping strategies and environmental supports and triggering stimulations and the intensity and frequency of intensely distressing dysregulated affect.

> What do you mean by, elaborations?

i mean the longer you spend in a state the more the state builds up skills of things it is able to do and memories of things it has done. may also build up a narrative of how old it is and what gender it is and stuff like that. EP's are supposed to be... emotional memories, really. have you ever been in an intensely distressing emotional state? welcome to your EP. thats an EP that holds your pain, you see? every time you are in that intensely distressing emotional state there is your EP again. you don't have to remember your EP in fact it would be hard for you to function in your daily life if you really remembered your pain so your EP takes it and is kind of frozen in time in that distressing state. and it can be intrusive sometimes in the form of flashbacks and the like. different people differ with respect to the degree of elaboration. 'personality fragments' can be fairly much just an intense experience of one particular emotional state. you could get a little bit of elaboration from that... a little bit of elaboration... up into a more well rounded personality that is in control a lot more of the time. taking care of work and being a different gender and learning spanish or whatever.

> Whats the differants between an Emotonal personality, and an Apparntly normal personality?

an EP is... emotional.
an ANP is... apparently normal in the sense of being able to do daily day to day stuff to keep things ticking along.

> You said that an ANP was the host of the DID peron, but you also but that for PTSD.

sure. thats because DID is thought to be a more severe version of PTSD (in DID the ANP is thought to have split as well as the EP's.)
