Ego states sounds like they are just different versions of the same person as Amanda described it....they are described by general terms like child, adult, parent...but when there are specifics like ages, names, genders, feel, seperated intelligent thought...

100% DID to me means with an amnesiac barrier...where the parts aren't aware of the existence of another part as they switch. To the parts, time jumps forward which they take for as normal so it's not regarded as an unusual event by the part.

If I had to give myself a percentage...I'd give it like 90-95%- trust me, I had no idea but now it's very obvious. We have complete takeovers....but we are aware....which makes it so weird...our thinking switches staying on topic due to the trigger then it fades away and the next one is up doing their own thing- we know this, caring is another matter according to the part. We know we share a body, so we know the bio and try to adhere to it...our theme....in our own way. We also do have urges and pressures and shout outs.

We experience memory loss when an other goes back in...like the memory and all it's cares are taken away...the next one up is going to experience that, too. Some present memory lingers though, which helps us to be cohesive enough to act like a singleton. But, we are still regarded as having the worlds worse memory that keeps changing their opinion every minute/second.

It seems that people don't want to go there...to the 3 big letters of DID, only as a last resort after all other possible mental disorders have been ruled out years later down the road, or they look at you like you're a faker, hydrochondriac, attention seeking....

Singletons have no idea what a multiple feels like, and visa versa, so they have to do so much before making that call... which makes miss amanda a rare fine.
