Being co-conscience I'm aware of other alters. Most DID'ers don't hear voices because they are not aware of the other alters. That usually comes out later in therapy. I have one renegade alter that screwed my life up over and over. I'd make a good logical decision about something like saying "no that's so not me", a voice would come out of no where saying "DO IT! NOBODY WILL EVER KNOW!" I always thought that was my naughty side coming out not crediting it as an alter. And of course, it's a last minute decision and when I listened to it, it never went well.

I always thought my voices was my thinking process. I was so proud that I was able to look at a problem from every point of view and angle, then take a vote on a final decision. I thought this was normal. It made me look smart.

I fought myself for years and now I'm in full acceptance and rolling with it. When it's time to work I have an alt for that. He's smart. I'm just the homebody that loves these online forums! Lol
