Oh ya, I get affected like that too..like a bad mood for no reason that you can't shake.

here in my location ANP and EP are different than having DID type alters. here where I am anyone can have parts regardless of mental disorder or not. here where I live and work ANP and EP are used to define completely normal parts of self that every human being has and is not required for having DID. Plus the new diagnostics for the USA do not state a person must have an ANP or EP for diagnosis purposes. in fact the diagnostics do not state /label the type of alters.
people with DID can have ANP and EP type alters but it is not required.
